Visual C++ :: Pointer To Incomplete Class Is Not Allowed
Jun 16, 2013
Here is the pseudocode,
Code:
class myDX9Widget {
std::vector<Object*> m_vRenderObjects;
};
class Object {
};
class Lorry : public Object {
Activity *activity;
[Code] .....
Don't worry about the exact syntax here, I'd like to concentrate, on a conceptual level, why the line
lorry->Owner->m_vRenderObjects.push_back(pallet);
is not allowed
lorry is regarded as "Pointer to incomplete class"

I am trying to get a program to take two files and place them into a third file. I have searched all over this website looking for a solution and i can seem to find one.
My issue is that i keep getting an error 'incomplete type is not allowed' as well as 'no operator matches these ">>" these operands.'
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string filename1;

So, I ran into the above error. I can't post the actual code, but here is the setup... I have four classes: A, B, C, and D.
A.hpp
Code:
class A {
public:
virtual void foo( D& bar );
[Code] .....
In A.cpp I implement foo and use bar in a similar manner as shown in class C. The difference here is that in A.cpp I also include the header for the D class. I am a bit confused why I can pass bar to B::foo() and that works fine, but if I try to access bar in C::foo, I have issues. Currently I am just including D.hpp in C.cpp.

I have an enum like:
Code:
typedef enum mac_type_e{
STATIC_MAC,
BLACKLIST_MAC
} mac_type_t; and I want to use this type in a structure that's declared like:
Code:
typedef struct lan_mac_s {
UINT16 lanmacid;
enum mac_type_t lan_mac_type_pp;// user mac type per port, 20 mac_type_t array, 0 = static, 1 = blacklisted now,
The compiler tells me:
Code:
incomplete type is not allowed
enum mac_type_t lan_mac_type_pp;// user mac type per port, 20 mac_type_t array, 0 = static, 1 = blacklisted
But if I remove the preceeding "enum" keyword, it compiles fine.

When declare and assign an instance of a user-defined struct in a function. And the struct (theStruct) is not declared in the same header file as the function (theFunction). Like this:
files:
"A.h": declares the struct in a class (theClass)
"A.cpp": implements the struct
"B.h": declares the function
"B.cpp": implements the function, error here
I think making the instance (inst) a reference might solve this. But the instance is assigned to a return value from a function (returnFunc). Like:
void theFunction() {
...
theClass::theStruct inst = returnFunc(...);
//returnFunc() returns an instance of theStruct
//the error is at 'inst'
...
}
What do you think?

I've been writing the math functions for a 3d game and tried compiling it at about 30 functions in. I get this error related to my pointers to my structures. it affects almost everything in all my functions (as youll see by looking at how i do the math in the function below). The compiler gives me the error
"error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type"
on all my struct Type4D pointers but referencing the values in my struct TypeMatrix4X4 using pointers seems to work fine i think (it doesn't seem to complian explicitly about it. so here is the important code...
one example function
Code:
struct Type4D *MatVecMult4X4RtoL(struct TypeMatrix4X4 *mat, struct Type4D *vec) {
struct Type4D *dest = (struct Type4D *) malloc(sizeof(struct Type4D));

I am having trouble with this program I get the error dereferencing pointer to incomplete type in the populate function I am using BloodShed's Dev C++ compiler v4.9.9.2 I copied this program out of a book because I was having a problem with a linked list in a similar program. I think there is a problem with the compiler not supporting these types of pointer's in a function.
#include <stdio.h>
struct tel_typ {
char name[25];
char phone_no[15];
struct tel_typ *nextaddr;
[code].....

I am getting this error:
drivers/media/video/mxc/capture/gt2005.c:2256:62: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
I am at a loss trying to figure this out. Here it is:
case Sensor_Flash:
{
struct i2c_client *client = to_i2c_client(to_soc_camera_control(icd));
struct sensor *sensor = to_sensor(client);
if (sensor->sensor_io_request && sensor->sensor_io_request->sensor_ioctrl) {
sensor->sensor_io_request->sensor_ioctrl(icd->pdev,Cam_Flash, on);
if(on){
Lines 6 and 7 are giving me the same error. What am I doing wrong?

My program is a basic MFC AppWizard (exe) created project in VC++ 6. In MainFrm.cpp, I am trying to access some user defined CMyView member functions. However when I try to do the standard procedure to get the CMyView pointer in MainFrm.cpp, I get the " ... 'CMyView' : undeclared identifier" error. To resolve this, I add " #include myView.h " at the top of MainFrm.h which then produces the following errors:
Code:
myview.h(21) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*'
myview.h(21) : error C2501: 'CMyDoc' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
myview.h(21) : error C2501: 'GetDocument' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
What do these errors mean? Is there a simple way to access CMyView member functions from CMainFrame?

How do I call the GetStrDataC function from another class?

I am IT student and had a C++/C (oral + paper) exam today. One of the tasks was to write a 2D-Matrix (as the question said) class with following restrictions:
- No <string> header is allowed
- Only Dtor needs to be implemented
- No templates
- Following should be possible:
Code:
std::cout << mat1 + mat2 + "some randome string";
mat1 += mat2; So i did the following:
In Matrix.h i wrote: Code: Class Matrix{
int rows, cols;
char *arr[][];
[Code] .....
Now..this destructor made me loose some points since the Prof. said that it is not correct. The corrected version was:
Code:
Matrix::~Matrix(){
if(arr){
for(int i = 0; i < rows; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < cols; j++){
delete [] arr[i][j];
[Code] ....
Now, i agree on that error i made, but it is only in case we use the "new" keyword to reserve place dynamically for each string(for each char*). So this raised the question in my head about:
Since the following is allowed in C++
Code:
char* str1 = "hello";
char* str2 = "you";
arr[1][3] = str1;//arr[1][3] was initialized to "_" without new keyword
arr[6][0] = str2;//arr[6][0] was initialized to "_" without new keyword why would someone use the new keyword..
I mean like this:
Code:
arr[1][3] = new char*[sizeof("sometext1")+1];
arr[1][3] = "sometext1";
arr[6][0] = new char*[sizeof("sometext2")+1];
arr[6][0] = "sometextw";
What is happening internally in C++ in both the cases(with and without new keyword)?

I have a function called,
App 1:
void GetImage(CImage * img) {
//Pass &img over socket to another app
}
App 2:
void DisplayImage() {
CImage * pImg = &img;
}
Is it possible to pass a class pointer as memory buffer across the socket? The above code is just an example. My question in general is, whether it's possible to pass any Classes pointer as a memory buffer across sockets.

My program (Test) is a basic MFC AppWizard (exe) created project. I have followed the steps in the link below to create a docked dialog box (myDialog) using VC++. [URL]...
The dialog box works, however, I have 2 issues that I am trying to resolve.
1) I have added a button to the Dialog box, however, when I run the application they start as disabled (note: the Disabled option on the Button Properties is unchecked). If I add function myDialog::OnButton to the myDialog class, the button remains disabled, however, if I add the function CTestView::OnButton to the View class, the button becomes active and works. How can I make the button work from the myDialog class?
2) I would like to be able to change an Edit box in the same dialog box when I click the button. How can I access the pointer to the myDialog from the View class?

I need understanding this block of code, particularly this line : *getLeftChild() { return this - _child; }
Code:
public class UpperNode {
BOX _box;
int _child;
FORCEINLINE UpperNode *getLeftChild() { return this - _child; }
...
};
Here I have this function:
Code:
void
UpperNode::visulization(int level) {
if (isLeaf())
_box.visulization();
else
if ((level > 0)) {
[Code] .....
It also makes calls for "getLeftChild()";
But I see that getLeftChild expects function pointer, and I absolutely have no clue where "this" comes from inside function body.
(return this - _child) - "this" has to be integer.
Or, if we gave pointer, and "this" is referring to some UpperNode, then I can't understand to which one, I have no UpperNode array defined or something. So if this functions is actually scaling pointer address, then scaling where to? I could comprehend it, if I had some array of UpperNodes, but not just class. I have UpperNodes array defined in other friendly class, but don't think they are related .....

I create an instance of a base class (not derived class) and assign it to base class pointer. Then, I convert it to a pointer to a derived class and call methods on it.
why does it work, if there is a virtual table?
when will it fail?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

I am attempting to implement function pointers and I am having a bit of a problem.
See the code example below; what I want to be able to do is call a function pointer from another pointer.
I'll admit that I may not be explaining this 100% correct but I am trying to implement the code inside the main function below.
class MainObject;
class SecondaryObject;
class SecondaryObject {

In this book, item 3 is about never treat arrays polymorphically. In the latter part of this item, the author talks about the result of deleting an array of derived class objects through a base class pointer is undefined. What does it mean? I have an example here,
Code:
class B
{
public:
B():_y(1){}
virtual ~B() {
cout<<"~B()"<<endl;
[Code] ....
This sample code does exactly what I want. So does the author mean the way I did is undefined?

I'm trying to implement a class hierarchy and a wrapper class with a pointer to the base class. The base class has operator< overloaded and the implementation makes use of virtual functions as some of the logic for sorting is in the derived classes. Unfortunately, when trying to use the base class operator< from the wrapper, I get a "pure virtual method called".
Below code is meant to illustrate my problem. Unfortunately it crashes on me (upon destruction of vec) and I cannot quite see, why. So two questions:
1. spot the error I made in the code below (having lived in Java-land for the last 5 years, I'm sure I just did some stupid error)?
2. How can I implement Wrapper::operator< to use Base::operator<? I know I could write a function and pass it to sort but I'm interessted if there is a way to actually use Base::operator<.
Code:
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cmath>

I am trying to compile the files below. The PosLin.cpp contains the SurTriAuto and SurTriPosRotAndQ functions below. Before adding SurTriPosRotAndQ, it compiled fine, but when I added SurTriPosRotAndQ, I am getting "invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct PosRotAndQ" error messages
I was thinking I could try moving SurTriAuto and SurTriPosRotAndQ to PosLin.h, but since they return "T*", I'm not sure what to do
I have a "t.h" file
namespace TNS

class T
