C++ initializer list overload disambiguation
I have a question about C++ initializer list disambiguation which exhibits different behaviors between gcc, clang and Visual Studio. I wonder if this is "undefined behavior" (incorrect program) or if one of these compilers has a bug. Any idea? Consider the following declarations: class Arg { public: Arg(int i); }; ...
{4} to const std::initializer_list<Arg>& is a user-defined conversion. {4} to int is a standard conversion. The latter wins. This is a GCC bug. List-initialization to an initializer_list beats others when the conversion sequences are of the same form. They are not here.

How to sort class objects array using the sort() in C++
I was doing one programming problem where it is required to sort the class objects. So, i used sort() to sort the array of objects but i couldn't do it, i read somewhere it requires lambda expression to that, but i don't know about them yet. So, if you can help me with this question with some explanation of lambda expr...
Sorting is about comparing elements and knowing which one is "lower" than other one (ie, if I sort {5,3,1} into {1,3,5}, it is because 1 is lower than 3 and 3 is lower than 5) So, it depends on what kind of logic you want to follow for your sorting algorithm (you could, for example, sort them by their member int dur). ...

How do I create a dynamic array with real numbers?
I know the syntax for dynamic arrays with integers, but when I try to create a dynamic array that stores double values, it gives me an error message. (error: expression in new-declarator must have integral or enumeration type) ifstream f("date.in"); ofstream g("date.out"); double n; f >> n; double* v = new double[n]; ...
As the error message suggests, double n; cannot be used as the number of elements, which must be an integer. It should be int n;.

Is there any way to write non blocking MPI code without using MPI_Wait?
I'm having this code which works fine. My question is that is it possible to have a non-blocking code without MPI_Wait? I am thinking that whether by this way, my code behaves as a blocking mode inadvertently. Also, to confirm that this is a non-blocking code, shall I measure execution time? and if it is faster, I can ...
My question is that is it possible to have a non-blocking code without MPI_Wait Yes, one can have a non-blocking code without the MPI_Wait; the problem is, however, that the data used on the non-blocking communication routines can get into inconsistent states. In other words, one cannot be sure if that data can be sa...

Regexp for URL validation
I am writing my own http server. Checking and validating headers and values ​​from requests, oddly enough, is one of its tasks.

You need to replace all \x{XXXX} with \uXXXX since ECMAScript regex flavor does not support \x{XXXX} notation. Next time you use regex online testers, make sure you select the appropriate regex flavor (C++ uses ECMAScript by default, not PCRE). Next, you can also replace \/ with / (you only need \/ at the online regex ...

Array[0] giving different results

The array int hashTable[0b11111111111111111111]; is not initialized and have indeterminate value. You have to initialize it like this to have it correctly work: int hashTable[0b11111111111111111111] = {}; Since the array is very big, using std::vector is better. std::vector<int> hashTable(0b11...

Constructor can't infer template argument from concept
Why constructor can't infer template argument from concept in this situation?

That's just not the way deduction works in C++20. For class template argument deduction (CTAD), the client class template needs to deduce two types (stream_t and serializer_t) and the constructor you have only uses one of those types, so the language has no idea where the other one could come from. You can help this by...

C++ Using u8 strings as unsigned strings
C++20 introduced char8_t as the type for UTF-8 string and character literals. char8_t is for the most part equivalent to an unsigned char, therefore, any arithmetic, logic, or bitwise operations will act as if it were unsigned, emitting unsigned operations instead of signed operations.

Why does std::ifstream not throw an exception even when exceptions are specifically enabled?
So, by default std::ifstream doesn't throw an exception when you open an invalid file path. It rather silently fails and if you don't use the fail() method or similar to check, it will easily go unnoticed which is quite bad. Since I want to get exceptions on any kind of failures so I can be informed automatically, I tr...
On failure, open() sets failbit, not badbit. You are not asking the ifstream to throwing an exception on failbit.

Can't pass arguments to Python function while embedding Python in C++
I'm embedding a Python module in my C++ code and I am using Python/C API. I need to call a Python module function and get the results. The function gets an unsigned integer and a double as input arguments and outputs a list. I use the following to call the function: unsigned int num_units = 10; double max_time = 15.12;...
There should be exactly one format string (which may be NULL) followed by any/all inputs. Parenthesis are for specifying tuples of size zero or one, which you don't mention needing.

How to search a window name for an existence of an element of an array?
I'm very inexperienced with C++. I have a program that runs well. Part of the code relies on identifying some text in the name of a pop up window. This is the partial part of code (which works fine) std::string firstNeedle("DX"); std::size_t firstSearch = upperCaseWindowName.find(firstNeedle); std::string s...
Firstly, it becomes slightly more sustainable if you rewrite it like this: if (upperCaseWindowName.find("DX" ) != std::string::npos || upperCaseWindowName.find("BENJA") != std::string::npos || ... ) Or you can use a for loop: std::string patterns[] = {"DX", "BENJA", ...}; bool found = false; for (const std::...

Assign function as default parameter using & operator
I was studying an example of setting information inside of a QML table in Qt and I don't understand what is being passed as default parameter: int rowCount(const QModelIndex & = QModelIndex()) const override { return 200; } The source of the example can be found here. My guess is that const QModelIndex & = QModelI...
As stated in comments: int rowCount(const QModelIndex & = QModelIndex()) const override defines the overridden member function rowCount, its one unnamed argument has a default value of QModelIndex(). For any type T, T::T() defines its default constructor, so QModelIndex() is a default constructed QModelIndex object. T...

Creating a vector of char pointers in C++
I have to make a vector that stores char pointers. Each pointer should only point to a single char like 'a' or 'b'. I don't get any compile errors, but when I run my program, it crashes. I cannot use std::string or any of its functions, they have to just be characters. std::vector<char*> myVector; myVector.reserve(10);...
You should use push_back method of vector instead of using at when you have not pushed anything inside vector. Also, you should use new char('a') instead of using bracket, which has other meaning. Look at this minimal code that works just fine: #include <iostream> #include <vector> int main() { std::vector<char*> ...

Why does the While Loop keeps executing infinitely in C++ even when the condition is met?

It keeps filling random numbers (1-6) infinitely, it's supposed to stop when attempt == 6 but it doesn't. Can you adjust my code and tell me what's wrong with? I'm a beginner in C++. #include <iostream> #i...
You have two attempts. The attempt inside the loop body is not visible from the outside of the loop body. while (attempt != 6 ) is outside the loop body (before the loop body), so it sees the first attempt, which is not changed in the loop. To fix, remove the declaration of attempt inside the loop body and overwrite th...

Big-O time complexity of 4sum problem. Brute force approach

Does a destructor that left prematurely after throwing an unhandled exception frees member data?
AS I know a Destructor works the reverse order to the Constructor: Constructor initializes member data (in ctor-init list) then executes its body. Destructor executes its body then destroys member data (in Destruction phase). I know that a Destructor shouldn't throw an exception and if it does so then it should itse...
If a destructor raises an exception without handling it there then should it Destroy member data Yes. So does Foo's Dtor frees b after throwing without handling the exception? b has a trivial type so its "destructor" does nothing. But yes, the member is destroyed. Members aren't "freed".

[dcl.init.aggr] The initializations of the elements of the aggregate are evaluated in the element order.

How to get the substring matched by a boost.spirit numeric parser?

I have a situation where I want to allow the conversion from A to B: A a{4}; B b = a; This is the setup: class A { public: explicit A(int value) : member{value} { } private: int member; }; class B : public A { public: explicit B(A a) : A{a} { } }; int main() { A a{4};...
Clang-Tidy complains that single-argument constructors must be marked explicit to avoid unintentional implicit conversions. Frankly, I strongly doubt that this is what clang-tidy says ("must be"). Single argument constructors that are not declared explicit are converting constructors. They can be evil, because to som...

Does the use a simple-template-id in a nested-name-specifier unambiguously mean a class template specialization?
struct A{ template<typename U> void T(){} }; struct B{ template<typename U> struct T{ using type = U; }; }; struct C:A,B{ }; int main(){ C::T<int>::type d; } This example is accepted by neither GCC nor Clang. As per basic.lookup.qual#1 The name of a class or namespace member or enumera...
The lookahead required to have the lookup for T depend on the :: even as the interpretation of < depends on the meaning of T is considered undesirable. As such, lookup for a name followed by < is not restricted to types and namespaces regardless of any >:: found later. P1787R6 fixed this, restricting the special look...

Tensor creation and destruction within a while loop in libtorch C++

How to feed a shared_ptr to a template function that shall add various data types to a vector?
In this question it was suggested to use std::shared_ptr instead of std::unique_ptr. However I am not able to make this work when feeding this shared pointer to my function: std::vector<std::unique_ptr<segment>> v3; //VERSION 5: auto myLine2 = std::make_shared<Line>(start, end); add_segment(v3, myLine2); ...
You can't "move" the thing inside a shared_ptr into an instance of a unique_ptr. If you could, all kinds of problems would occur as a result of two different smart pointers trying to delete the thing inside it when they get released. Instead, just delcare your vector as : std::vector<std::shared_ptr<segment>> v3; And ...

You may the source format to "full scale" YUVJ. As far as I know, sws_scale has no option for selecting Studio RGB as output format. Changing the input format is the best solution I can think of.

Why does spaceship allow mixed comparisons (different template instantiations) with nonsense results?
EDIT: This has nothing to do with spaceship. It is just that the use of spaceship obfuscated the real issue in my code (see answer for details). I was surprised by the output of this program: (If you like puzzles feel free to open the Godbolt link and try to spot the cause yourself) #include <cstdint> #include <cassert...
It's allowed because your conversion operator to T is not explicit. This allows both sides of the comparison to undergo a user-defined conversion to their respective T. So you end up with a float and a double. And then those can both be converted to double and a comparison can happen. But that comparison returns an std...

This line: static_assert(std::declval<std::array<int, 4>>().size() == 4); fails to compile, because you are using declval in an evaluated context.

If you have a collection C, mapped function iterates over all elements in this collection calling passed member function for each instance of C. vector<S> C{S(1),S(2),..}; by mapped(C,&S::func) will be performed: C[0].func(); C[1].func(); .....

Is there a clean way to turn an overload set into a visitor suitable for use with std::visit?
Suppose I have an overload set, like so: class C { public: static void f(const A &); static void f(const B &); }; I'd like to do something like std::variant<A, B> v; // ... std::visit(C::f, v); but this doesn't compile. Is there some way of taking an overload set and regarding it as, or converting it t...
Actually, after playing around with this further I've realized that I can do std::visit([](const auto & t) { C::f(t); }, v); so I'll leave this here as a potential solution for anyone else with the same problem.

Using semantic actions in boost spirit to set fields
Assuming you have a parser using boost spirit that sets this field with the exception of the id field. Is it possible to use semantic actions to generate and set the id field? Or is there a better way to achieve this. struct employee { std::string id; int age; std::string surname; std::string forename;...
Yes it's possible. One pitfall is that presence of semantic actions usually supresses automatic attribute propagation. Since you'd like to have both, you will want to assign the parser expression using %= instead of = (see docs). Alternatively you can generate a value on the fly and use the adaptation that you showed. ...

Using a subclass object as a parameter in a class inheriting from an abstract class
I'm creating two classes. The first is an abstract base class, and the second inherits from the first. struct Animal { bool is_multicellular; int children; Animal() { this->is_multicellular = true; this->children = 0; } virtual Animal& attempt_to_mate(Animal&) = 0; }; struct Be...
You are using the cast wrong. Animal& attempt_to_mate(Animal &bear) override { bear = dynamic_cast<Bear&>(bear); if (bear.wants_to_mate) { this->children ++; } return bear; } bear is reference to an animal. You can assign a reference to a Bear to it, but that wont turn it into a reference to a ...

C++ iostream encoding?
I have an input.txt and an output.txt, obviously I generate the output.txt, which for now is to write the exact same thing out, but it does not do that because of a possible encoding(?) error. Here are pictures of the input and output: My code looks like this: Menu.cpp: void Menu::kiir(){ ofstream myfile("output....
I don't see where you're ingesting, but you seem to be: reading character input such as the character '2'; converting that to integer input, i.e. the integer 2; outputting that integer, here producing an ASCII character with value 2. Possibly the confusion is that std::string::operator+= doesn't do any sort of conver...

ICC not recognizing stream move semantics
I have the following piece of code that works with -std=c++0x under recent GCC (9.3.1) and clang (7.0.1). It does not work under older GCC (4.8.5), but that's OK. I am now trying to get it to work under ICC (19.0.5.281 20190815). inline std::istringstream setup_extraction_stream(const std::string buffer, const std::s...
Thanks to @AlanBirtles for pointing me in the right direction. The issue was that ICC does not ship its own version of the standard library, it just uses the headers that GCC ships. This will default to your system GCC (which I already knew did not work). The solution is to use the -cxxlib=/path/to/new/gcc/usr flag ...

What could possibly go wrong adopting this trivial class to handle optional values?
In certain applications I am stuck with a c++98 compiler. I like the idea to handle certain errors returning an optional, so I crafted this trivial class to handle them: template<class T> class Optional { public: Optional<T>() : i_Assigned(false) {} explicit Optional<T>(const T& v) : i_Value(v), i_Assigned(tru...
One basic issue with your implementation is that it isn't able to accommodate types that lack a default constructor. Similarly, if the default constructor of T has any side effects, those side effects will occur when Optional<T> is constructed. The std::optional<T> is not supposed to have any side effects when default-...

get packet number in libpcap callback
I'm using libpcap to process the WS output. My question is: can I have access in the packet number in the pcap_loop callback? Or I will have to use a static variable? EDIT: As requested: long Foo:Main() { handle = pcap_open_dead( DLT_EN10MB, MAX_PACKET_SIZE ); if( !handle ) { } dumper = pcap_dump_op...
libpcap does not keep track of the ordinal numbers of packets, so you'll have to maintain a packet count in your code.

Should I inline operators == and != in case when operator!=() uses negation of operator==()
I am using this simple example to illustrate a problem in which I am trying to optimize stack usage. Let's say I have a struct like this: // Something.h struct Something { int val; bool operator==(const Something& rhs); bool operator!=(const Something& rhs); }; // Something.cpp bool Something::operator==(const ...
You should use link-time optimization (LTO) so either of them can fully inline into the call-site, especially when it's near-trivial like this. But if you don't want to use LTO for cross-file inlining, then yes it would be a good idea to put the operator != return !(*this == rhs); definition inside the class definition...

A reference must be initialized to reference something. Here you try to assign to the references after they have already been created. That's not legal: Car::Car(const string& producer, const string& model, const string& color) { _producer = producer; _model = model; _color = color; } T...

Detect if a type is a specialization from the primary template or a user-provided specialization
Let's say I have this: template<typename T> class my_template {...}; Now, users are expected to be able to specialize my_template for their own types. And they will pass those types to some API functions of mine, which will use properties of my_template<T> to do stuff. So at some point in my code, I have a my_template...
The most obvious solution is to shove a private member alias, or some other concept-detectable private declaration, into the primary my_template definition, and rely on that not being present in user-provided specializations. However, a user could forge an explicit specialization by providing an appropriate definition...

Pass pointer to function and change it after function returns
This might be trivial but I am having a hard time making it work. It's for a game engine, but the rules apply for C++, I guess. I have an object, let's call it Car, and then I have a Bike. From a function in Car, I am passing a pointer to a function in Bike: void Car::MyFunction(){ int32* MyPointer = nullptr; ...
If I understand correctly, the behavior you are expecting is to give Bike ownership of an object that you can edit from different places. In this case, given the ownership semantics, I recommend using std::shared_ptr<Foo>. If the bike owns this object alone, then you should use a std::unique_ptr<Foo>. As for your quest...

Computing rotated rectangle intersection area using C++
I am trying to calculate the intersection area of two arbitrarily sized and rotated rectangles using C++. I have found some information on non-rotated rectangles but very little on rotated and different sized rectangles. I would like to create a C/C++ program to do this. Does anyone out there have any information/hints...
I think the easiest way to do this is to clip one rectangle against the other using the Sutherland-Hodgman algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherland%E2%80%93Hodgman_algorithm Then you find the area of the resulting polygon using the shoelace formula: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

Does RAII support resource ownership transfer?
I mainly used to think about RAII as being about using object lifetime to avoid leaking resources and that served me well enough in practice. But I recently had some discussions about what exactly constitutes an RAII pattern and what does not, which made me search for more definitions and commentaries online, which end...
Does RAII support resource ownership transfer? It can, yes. But then it seems that resource ownership transfer also leads to breaking those very 2 properties that seem to define RAII. Depends a bit on details of how one defines RAII. The solution is to extend the definition of RAII shown in the question to allow t...

C++: How to iterate through a double pointer pointing to an array of pointers

Your array is a size and count. int num_children; TreeNode **children; Based off that, you can make a simple range adapter for for(:) loops: template<class It> struct range { It s, f; It begin() const { return s; } It end() const { return f; } range(It b, It e):s(b),f(e) {} range(It b, std::ptrdiff_t count):...

Alternatively, you can define a make function and deduce I from the function parameter. Because of copy elision, this i...

C++ is going to error on your implicit cast from the void* returned by malloc() to int*. Whereas C allows implicit casts from void* to other pointer types.
