C++ :: Vector Of 8bit Variables - Casting Between Bitsets
Mar 7, 2012So I have a vector of 8bit variables. Is it possible to cast that to a vector of 6bit variables like...
8bit: 10011011 01100011 ===>
6bit: 100110 110110 0011XX

C++ :: Vector - Out Of Scope Variables
Dec 14, 2013The situation is the following :
Code:
vector<int>& function(int a , int b){
vector<int> s(3000000);
vector<int> xxx(4);
return xxx
}
Not to board people with details but if i am returning the the reference to a vector xxx what happens to vector s. is it destroyed ?? it should be, but i don't see it on my memory map (memory is not released) . can this be or should i go and search for error on some other place.....
C++ :: Getting Surprising Behavior When Casting
Mar 18, 2014I'm trying to cast a float to an unsigned int and getting some surprising behavior.
Code:
float x = -1.0;
unsigned int y = (unsigned int)x;
printf("y = %d
", y);
The output of this code changes depending on which compiler I use. Sometimes I get -1 and sometimes I get 0. Not really sure why though.
C++ :: Casting A Logical Boolean As Int?
Jun 8, 2013Let's say I have a product that needs service after 500 hours at 100 RPM. I can dsiplay the remaining hours only as an integer and we only have integer math. Management wants it to display 500 for the first hour, not 499 after the first minute is ticked off. But after a few minutes fullHours will be 499 and partialHours will have some value. I have 3 ways to determine displayHours to suit management and I want to know if the first is ligit.
short fullHours = 500;
short partialHours = 0;
short displayedHours = 0;
// Method 1 - Is is Kosher to cast a boolean as an int? Is TRUE always a 1 or is that a bad assumption?
displayedHours = fullHours + (short) (partialHours != 0);
//Method 2 - Works but some have disdain for the ternary conditional
displayHours = fullHours + (partialHours ? 1 : 0);
//Method 3 - seems a bit pedantic
displayHours = fullHours;
if (partialHours != 0) {
displayHours++;
}
C++ :: How To Use Type Casting In Programs
Apr 12, 2013I find type casting to be very hard to grasp, I am not sure why. I understand how it works I suppose, but I find it hard to grasp why it would be needed in programming. So my question is, how often is type casting used in general programs? Is there an easier way I could be trying to teach myself about it? I am just using the tutorials provided by this site.

Apr 30, 2014I'm writing a small piece of code that increments through a string of numbers. For every 5 numbers a product is produced. However i'm having an issue understanding an error that keeps occurring.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
[Code].....
if you look at the code i've got a string with 5 numbers 1-5 for testing. As the loop increments through the string it takes the first 5 characters and converts them to integers and then a product is returned. The issue is that instead of storing the single letter at position J its storing some combination from the string and as a result gives me a huge product. I tried debugging. I checked what the string[j] value was with a simple cout << and it returned the right number. I even returned the char value before it was converted into an integer and it was the right number.
C# :: Working With Different Types And Casting?
Jan 3, 2015double a = 1.0 + 1 + 1.0f; //everynumber will be added up as a double even the last one which is a float. All 3 numbers will turn into 3.0 as a double.
int x = (int)(7 + 3.0 / 4.0 * 2); //the variable will do the math bracket first. then the va type will still be an int because int was never changed.
Console.WriteLine((1 + 1) / 2 * 3); // 1 + 1 will be done first then 1 / 2 then * by 3
Console.WriteLine(x);
Console.ReadKey();
I THINK THATS ALL WRONG ^ =/ like the comments
double a = 1.0 + 1 + 1.0f;
In this equation, everything is using addition, so we start working left to right. 1.0 + 1 is the first step. These two representations of 1 aren't the same type though. In fact, none of the three are.
The first is a double, the second is an int, and the last is a float.
So in order to do 1.0 + 1, we need to convert one type to another. Since the double type is "wider" than the int type, we'll move things up to the double type. We'll convert the int version to a double, and to 1 + 1 using double types, resulting in 2.0 as a double.
Next we do the other addition. This has the same problem, though, because we'll be adding our result from the first step (a 2 as a double) to a float. So again, the float gets converted up to a double and we do the addition using doubles.
We now have a value of 3 that is the double type, which we can simply store in our a variable without any conversions at all, since our value is already a double type.
C/C++ :: How Does Casting Work (under The Surface)
Mar 14, 2014So, I've used int to float cast before. And it makes sense that it preserves the int value just converts it. I don't really need the answer, I'm just interested, and a resources could suffice.
1. Why in my test program it seems to preserve the int value, I expect that, but why for 0x8000 is it registering bit negation also. I know that is the negative bit for float, but it seems wrong. Is this an error in the gcc compiler conversion code?
2. What is the documentation on these type cast on how they actual work.
3. I know like no assembly, I'm wondering if some of the built in routines to handle or is it all c side code.
4. Can I convert type and preserve the bits. Maybe use void* casting ? I've never really bothered with void* so I don't all that I can do. Except be a pointer that doesn't know the type, obviously. I tested that out in the second code, the output doesn't seem correct, except -0.000. Is it working and my test numbers just are improper float format? It can't be that I test 0x3E20000 = 0.15625 from SingleWiki , but I got 1.328e-36 so the int to void* to float doesn't seem to work in the code below:
#include <cstdio>
int main(){
float flout;
unsigned int num = 1;
int ant;
printf("Int Shift float");
for(unsigned int shift=0;shift<32;shift++){

C++ :: Casting Pointers In C Style?
Sep 5, 2014Casting Pointers in C Programming. I don't want to move onto implicit casts until I have this down pat. I'm failing to understand how casting pointers works.
The line
int *mnt = (int*)&flt;
if I read this correctly passes the address of flt which has been converted to an int to the pointer mnt.
1 - When I output mnt I get a garbage value, probably because the address of flt is then converted to a pointer and passed onto mnt as a value and then reinterpreted as a memory address. (that is the first part I don't understand)
2 - - What exactly does the (int*) cast say? Does this mean that a pointer will be returned or an address will be returned. What does the fact that the * is inside the parenthesis mean?
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
float flt= 6.5;
int *mnt = (int*)&flt;
cout << mnt << endl; // outputs hex memory address
cout << *mnt << endl; // outputs garbage value
}

C :: Unsigned Char - Pointer Type Casting
Dec 2, 2013I came across some code and it's not clear why it is casting an unsigned char * to another pointer type only to free it right after. Here are the relevant structures:
Code:
struct _Edje_Message {
Edje *edje;
Edje_Queue queue;
Edje_Message_Type type;
int id;
unsigned char *msg;
[Code] .....
As you can see, _Edge_Message has a *msg field, but in the function below, they cast it to the other two structure types inside the case blocks of the switch statement only to free it. What is the point or advantage of doing this?
Code:
void
_edje_message_free(Edje_Message *em) {
if (em->msg) {
int i;

C++ :: Building Multicast Packet - Memcpy Casting
Aug 19, 2014I am just getting back in to C++ after 10 years not doing any, contributing to an open source project. I'm adding in some functionality and am hitting a road block.
I need to send a multicast packet out on the network that is structured in a certain way. I have the definition, and know what data is going in each byte. I can successfully send a message using multicast, I now just need to send the right message.
I have used a char array to hold the message, as each char represents 1 byte, and I can transmit the array.
I am having trouble putting all of the data in the right place though. If my source data is a string, then I seem to be able to convert it, but if it is a short or int, then I keep getting errors when compiling. Similarly, two of the lines, (version and type) i initially tried using char arrays with a length of one.
Should I be using memcpy or a different function, or even be doing this in a totally different way altogether? This is the code that I am using, along with the packet structure:
//Construct a Zone Query packet
// 4 bytes - Signature "Ohz " = 0x6f, 0x68, 0x7a, 0x20
// 1 bytes - Version = 1
// 1 bytes - Type (0 = Zone Query, 1 = Zone Uri)
// 2 bytes - Entire message length = 12 + zone length
// 4 bytes - Length in bytes of the zone ID
// n bytes - Zone ID to query
[Code] ....
The errors that I get are:
error: invalid conversion from ‘short int’ to ‘const void*’ [-fpermissive]
memcpy(buffer + 6, packetLength, sizeof(packetLength));

C++ :: Validity Of New / Delete Pair (or Malloc / Free) After Pointer Casting
Dec 22, 2012Goal: To allocate some memory as a char*, read in some binary data, re-interpret it as a float* and then free the memory.
My code looks like:
void someFunction(float* &result) {
char * tmp = new char[1000];
//...Fill the char buffer here...
result = (float*)tmp; //Reinterpret binary data as floats
[Code] ....
Is the cast back to char* necessary on the red line (or could I have validly left it as float*)? Would it be different if I had written char * tmp = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*1000); on the blue line (and correspondingly used free (char*)floatData on the red line?
C++ :: Debug Error When Taking A String And Casting It To Float With File Stream
May 9, 2014Debug Error

R6010 - abort() has been called
I was going over this with a friend and it seems as though getline() is not reading anything in and thus throwing the abort error. I'm not sure why this is because I've included the textfile, with the correct name of course, in both the regular file location and the debug folder. I ask for user input and the user then inputs the name of the file they want, I do some required things behind the scenes and display the results for them in a cmd window. I've included pastebin files for both my header and cpp files because it is far to large for one post I shall, however, post the full code in the comments.
Quick Code
The problem occurs on line 159. I'm assuming once this line is fixed, line 163 will have the same problem.
// Read regular price
getline(nameFile, input, '$');
vectorList[count].regPrice = stof(input.c_str());// Casts string to a float
// Read sale price
getline(nameFile, input, '#');

C :: Parsing Binary Data File By Casting A Buffer - Accessing Double From Struct
Jan 4, 2014I am parsing a binary data file by casting a buffer to a struct. It seems to work really well apart from this one double which is always being accessed two bytes off, despite being in the correct place.
Code:
typedef struct InvoiceRow {
uint INVOICE_NUMBER;
...
double GROSS;
...
char VAT_NUMBER[31];
} InvoiceRow;
If I attempt to print GROSS using printf("%f", row->GROSS) I get 0.0000. However, if I change the type of GROSS to char[8] and then use the following code, I am presented with the correct number...
Code:
typedef struct example {
double d;
}
example;
example *blah = (example*)row->GROSS;
printf("%f", blah->d);

C++ :: Open File And Read In Rows To String Vector And Return Vector
Jun 7, 2012I have a cpp app that reads in a number of files and writes revised output. The app doesn't seem to be able to open a file with a ' in the file name, such as,
N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine.mol
This is the function that opens the file :
Code:
// opens mol file, reads in rows to string vector and returns vector
vector<string> get_mol_file(string& filePath) {
vector<string> mol_file;
string new_mol_line;
// create an input stream and open the mol file
ifstream read_mol_input;
read_mol_input.open( filePath.c_str() );

The path to the file is passed as a cpp string and the c version is used to open the file. Do I need to handle this as a special case? It is possible that there could be " as well, parenthesis, etc.

C++ :: Find Function To A Vector Of Structures Vector
Jul 5, 2013I have asked a related question before, and it was resolved successfully. In the past, when I wanted to use std::max_element in order to find the maximum element (or even sort by using std::sort) of a vector of structures according to one of the members of the structure, all I had to do was to insert a specially designed comparison function as the third argument of the function std::max::element. But the latter comparison function naturally accepts two arguments internally.
For instance, here is a test program that successfully finds the maximum according to just one member of the structure:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
[Code] ....
And the output was this, as expected:
Maximum element S.a of vector<S> vec is at: 9
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 3 and slot 6 is: 6, and its index is: 6 vec[6].a = 6
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 4 and slot 7 is: 7, and its index is: 7 vec[7].a = 7
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 5 and slot 8 is: 8, and its index is: 8 vec[8].a = 8
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 6 and slot 9 is: 9, and its index is: 9 vec[9].a = 9
However, I now need to search and find an element of vector<myStruct> according to just one member of myStruct, instead of finding the maximum or sorting as before. This presents a problem because the function std::find does not accept such a comparison function as its third argument.
This was the description of the std::find function that I found: find - C++ Reference
Code:
template <class InputIterator, class T> InputIterator find (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const T& val);
I could also find another function called std::find_if, but this only accepts a unary predicate like this: find_if - C++ Reference
Code:
template <class InputIterator, class UnaryPredicate> InputIterator find_if (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, UnaryPredicate pred);
And once again this is either inadequate of I don't see how to use it directly, because for the third argument I would like to insert a function that takes two arguments with a syntax like this:
Code:
int x=7;
std::vector<S>::iterator result;
result = std::find(vec.begin(), vec.end(), []( const (int x, const S & S_1) { return ( x == S_1.a ) ; } ) ;
Is there another std function that I can use to make search and find an element according to just one member of myStruct?
Or perhaps there is a clever way to pass two arguments to the unary predicate.
C/C++ :: Cannot Print Vector Of Vector Of Doubles
Mar 31, 2014I am trying to print a matrix solution that I've stored in a vector of doubles. The original matrix was stored in a vector of vector of doubles. I want to print to the screen and an output file. Right now it just prints to screen column-style and the output file is horizontal-style. I tried to change the solution from vector of doubles to a vector of vector of doubles like the original matrix but when I run my code it crashes. Here is what I am referring to:
void readMatrix(vector<vector<double>> &matrix, vector<double> &b, int &N, string input) {
ifstream in(input);
in >> N;
matrix.resize(N);
b.resize(N);

However when I change my printResult function to this (I removed the string argument because I just want to get it working to the screen first):
void printResult(vector<vector<double>> &sol, const int N) {
//ofstream out(output);
//int j;
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < N; j++){

The program crashes. Am I even printing the matrix correctly?
