Initialize array from pointer and size of another array
In a function, I have access to the pointer and size of another array. Passing these along with the pointer, I want to add that data to a map. How can I do that without copying the underlying data twice? void addToMap(double* ptr, size_t size, unsigned key) { // Here I want to add the array corresponding to the point...
You cannot define an array variable like that because the function argument can vary at runtime, and is therefore not compile time constant which is a requirement for the size of an array variable. You'll need to allocate the array dynamically. std::vector is the simplest way to do that. An array can also not be direct...

How to initialiaze a multidimensional dynamically allocated array in a constructor C++?
I have created a class template that holds a union of the following type, which should be of variable length. union BufferUnion { int buf32; short buf16[2]; }; class SomeClass { int nBufs; int buflen; BufferUnion **bu; SomeClass(int nBufs, int buflen); ~SomeClass(); } and now I want...
First thing you should do when creating the two-dimensional array is to allocate the memory for the first dimension, then iterate on it creating the second dimension. You've got the second part right, but what you're missing is: bu = new BufferUnion*[nBufs] before the loop creating the second dimension. As a sidenote: ...

SWIG JAVA typemaps configuration
Here is SWIG typemap, that converts C++ types to Python types. #ifdef SWIGPYTHON %typemap(in) (char *data, size_t datasize) { Py_ssize_t len; PyBytes_AsStringAndSize($input, &$1, &len); $2 = (size_t)len; } %typemap(in, numinputs=0) (char **data, size_t *datasize)(char *temp, size_t tempsize) { $...
SWIG already has a typemap for Java which does this for you. To use it all you need to do is use %apply to tell SWIG it is what you want to use for those parameters: e.g. %module test %apply (char *STRING, size_t LENGTH) { (char *data, size_t datasize) } void putFrame(char *data, size_t datasize); which will generat...

Function pointers passed as template arguments
I was reading through some code and I found a case where a function pointer (the address, not the type) is passed to a template parameter. // connects a free function registry.on_construct<position>().connect<&my_free_function>(); // connects a member function registry.on_construct<position>().connect<&my_class::memb...
Is this doing what I think it's doing, ie., statically bound call of a function pointer? Yes, this is doing exactly what you think it's doing. It binds the argument as part of the type itself so that it's not needed to be passed as a runtime argument Does the template parameter need to be auto for this to work? No ...

Need to get this program checking if Number is prime but without if statement, how to make it work for 1? main can not be changed
Need to get this program checking if Number is prime but without if statement, how to make it work for 1? main can not be changed #include <iostream> bool prime(int x){ for (int i = 2; i < x; ++i){ return (x % i != 0); } } int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha << prime(1344) << std::endl; }
Your function returns in the first iteration of the loop and only checks if the number is even or odd. Its basically the same as: bool prime(int x){ return (x % 2 != 0); } For the special case of x==1 you just need to add the condition that x can only be prime when it is not 1. And we can break out of the loop...

Bug when creating a class without using the new keyword
So I have a node class. I add a single node to a std::vector if mouse is pressed. This is the way I did it the first time. struct Node { Node(int _x, int _y) : x(_x), y(_y) { }; int x = 0; int y = 0; Node* neighbours = nullptr; }; std::vector<Node*> nodes; //The following is in a while loop i...
Your original code is pushing a pointer to a local variable that goes out of scope immediately after the push, destroying the node and leaving the vector with a dangling pointer, eg: if (GetMouse(0).bPressed) { Node node = Node(mouseX - (nodeSize / 2), mouseY - (nodeSize / 2)); nodes.push_back(&node); } // <-- ...

String class with concatenation с++

There are a lot of things wrong with your code. Where is your operator=? You appear to have violated the Rule of Three. This is a massive memory bug. for (int i = 1; i <= length; i++) if (i % 2 == 0) seems like a weird way to write for (int i = 2; i <= length; i+=2). This works fine, it's just weird. operator+ does no...

A little double-linked list puzzle
Disclaimer So initially when I posted this, it was a forward list by my error even though I meant to do it as a double-linked list - that's why there are some replies that don't match the problem. Problem I was doing some coding and I got to code below. At first glance, it looked like there is nothing wrong with the co...
Eg. in line n2 = new Node(2, n3); n3 would be a bad pointer There is a simple solution. Fix the order of initialisation so that you start with objects that have no dependencies, and initialise objects after their dependencies have been initialised. In this case, "1" depends on "2" and "2" depends on "3", so therefore...

Could an R-value be equal to a nullptr
I have the following function in a C++ class: CLASS_TYPE& operator=(const char* const &&rhs) Could rhs ever be equal to a nullptr? In other words do I need to check in the operator definition if rhs equals to nullptr?
The value nullptr is within the possible value a pointer can take. Trying to block that from happening at compile time is futile, since you can always set the value of a pointer to nullptr at runtime. If you intended to receive a non-null string literal, simply use std::string_view or a reference to char array: // Neve...

The program should check if it has to cout a string from the stati array with every first letter of each word capitalized and then it has to convert the string back to lowercase, statoScelt...
Couple of things wrong with your code : you need to place double quotes around the string characters you've defined . For example: std::string colour[4] = { "Blue", "Red", "Orange", "Yellow" }; The size 16 makes sense for the last word , where size is 16, but for all the other words, you're still trying to access the...

invalid operands of types 'int' and 'const char [11]' to binary 'operator<<'
First of all, I'm just a beginner so I'm sorry if this would sound really stupid. I'm currently doing a game in C++ where every move of a player corresponds to additional money and time deduction. Each player starts with 0 initial money and 30 minutes of time. I plan to have this on loop until both players have 0 time ...
Because of operator precedence rules (<< is evaluated before += and -=), you need to bracket your arithmetic expressions, like this: if ((groupNumber1 == 1)) { cout<<"You now have a total of "<<"$"<< (initialMoney += teensMoney) <<" and have "<< (initialTime -= teensTime) <<" minutes remaining."<<endl; } else if ((...

What is the expected behavior of C++ constant folding of integer expressions?
For example, let's say we have a function that replaces the two least significant decimal places of an int with 0: int Remove2LSD(int x) { return x / 100 * 100; } If we pass 2052 we should expect a return of 2000, 2199 should return 2100. It does not appear that constant folding occurs with the MSVC compiler if you ...
Most optimizations (including constant folding) are governed by the as-if rule. It states that any optimization is allowed if and only if it doesn't change the observable behavior of the program (it works "as if" it was unoptimized). So no, you don't need to worry about constant folding here.

Pointer on class contructor

You can implement the clone idiom to avoid having to dynamic_cast objects to determine which copy constructor to call, eg: class Action { public: virtual ~Action() {}; virtual Action* clone() = 0; ... }; class A : public Action { public: Action* clone() { return new A(*this); } ... }; class B : pu...

A heap is a partially sorted structure. A min heap requires only the parent to be smaller than the current node, but puts no restriction on the order of sibling nodes. This means there are many ways to organize the same data in a heap. The following are both correct min heaps for values 1, 2, 3: 1 1 / \...

Your GCC was too old. You can get a newer version via MSYS' pacman, or download a standalone build, for example from http://winlibs.com/ which will work just as well if you don't need MSYS2.

Here's a small proof of concept for converting a char matrix into an OpenCV Mat, using cv::putText. The idea is that you start with a matrix of chars (here, defined using std::vector) and you loop through each item. You extract the char, create a cell (an empty BGR Mat with a defined size), and you concatenate each cel...

Wrong function resolution in template when using inheritance

Non template beats template when there is otherwise a tie. But for *this in B::b2, the template generates a (B&) signature, and the non-template a (A&), and B& is a better match. No tie. For A::g1, it is (A&) vs (A&), a tie, so non-template wins. Overload resolution can't do what you want. You can manually dispatch, ...

Constructor got deleted by compiler when I have a virtual method?
I came across a situation that can be summarized in the following code snippet. Basically, I would like my classes to inherit constructors. It works, but compilation fails as soon as I have a virtual method defined in C. Apparently the compiler deleted the constructor. My questions are: Why does the compiler do that? ...
Constructors are inherited only when you explicitly declare the inherited constructors. This is done as follows: struct B : public A { using A::A; }; struct C : public B { using B::B; }; In your program, you are not using inherited constructors; you are using aggregate initialization. Adding a virtual functio...

C++ Variables not updating in loop
For some reason the values in the loop do not update. Instead of taking the new values they are assigned in the loop they stay the same as when first assigned. Why is this? using namespace std; int main() { int town_A_Pop; int town_A_Growth; int town_B_Pop; int town_B_Growth; int years = 0; ...
I assume that town_A_Pop and town_B_Pop don't update. If town_A_Growth is less than 100(and greater or same than 0) then (town_A_Growth / 100) will evaluate to 0 and (1 + (town_A_Growth / 100)) will evaluate to 1. In that case, town_A_Pop = town_A_Pop * 1 so it will stay same. Same goes to town_B_Pop. To fix the proble...

Why does a virtual destructor write to memory?

It doesn't ignore the size of bytes, but the pointer knows the size of the pointed object. So 4 Bytes if it's an integer, 8 Bytes for double, ... . This works even for arrays of your own structs. I just added a picture for visualization of how this looks like.

Because the operator is defined inside the class it's left hand side must be of type Sum and the right hand side must be of type Sum* (because that's the type of parameter d1).

Implementing C realloc in a macro with new and delete

TL;DR - It can't be done, leave the code as is.

Nor can one be implemented in terms of new and delete, as you need to know the current array siz...

As workaround, you might use intermediate value: int32_t val32 = 123; { auto aligned_xy = map.xy; // Fix possible alignment "issue" write(&aligned_xy , val32); map.xy = aligned_xy; } Note: write should not keep the 'intermediate' pointer though.

A pointer is just data that can be marshaled and sent to anything.

There is no possibility to check whether the pointer is still valid, so dereferencing a pointer that yo...

Accepting N arguments converting into the same type
I'm currently trying to make a vector class in C++. The class should have a constructor which accepts as many arguments as there are dimensions in the vector. The dimensionality is defined by a template when instantiating the vector. All augments should be able to be converted into the same data type from which the vec...
If you do not want all arguments to be of same type you can remove that part. Apart from that you have a typo here: (sizeof(Ts) == N) should be (sizeof...(Ts) == N) After fixing that, forwarding the parameters and adding definition of the constructor, your code seems to do what you want: #include <type_traits> #inc...

Python ctypes how to deal with malloc/free?
I'm trying to convert a .cpp file to .py using the ctypes library. Some basic operations are working, but I'm struggling when using typedef structs as well as malloc/free.

How should I translate the malloc line from cpp to python? Usually, a DLL that returns something like MODULE_LIST does the malloc for you, and provides a function to free it later, but if you have to fill one out yourself an array type is created by multiplying a type by a size, then calling it to create an instance:...

In your constructor, you declare two local variables, a and b, and assign the given arguments' values to those – leaving the member variables of the same name untouched (and, thus, uninitialized). Remove the 'declaration' part of the assignments: MyClass(int nA, int nB) { a = nA; b = nB; } Or, ...

Variadic template functions - where to put base case

The second one doesn't work because you're attempting to invoke an overload whose declaration isn't visible to that scope.

I doubt that vector of vector is the best choice of the container for your use case, but if it's out of your control something like this should work: int a[n][n]; std::vector<std::vector<int>> v; v.reserve(n); for (int *arr : a) { v.emplace_back(arr, arr + n); }

How to check for NULL variant values when vt == VT_NULL does not work?

However v.vt == 256, so the condition is false. 256 is varString, which is a custom Variant type specific to Delphi/C++Builder. There is no VARTYPE equivalent of varString in the Win32 VARIANT API, so you can't use a Variant that is holding an AnsiString with Win32 VARIANT functions. You would have to make it hold a...

Efficiently store multiple integral numbers in a single variable (and retrieve them)
Let's assume that we have up to 3 IDs (we don't know the number of IDs before, can be 0 to 3), each of them can consist of up to 4 digits, leading to numbers from 1 to 9999. Since these IDs are small enough, we want to store them in a single variable and not an array (for whatever reasons), such as a double. Here is an...
The IDs can go up to 9999, which requires 14 bits max. 3 integers of 14 bits each would require 42 bits max. You can easily store that in a 64-bit unsigned long or uint64_t with some manual bit-shifting, eg: uint16_t get_id(uint64_t ids, uint8_t which) { return (ids >> (14 * (which & 3))) & 0x3FFF; } void set_id(u...

It's the most portable option regarding exceptions handling, if you will ever need to execute the same code on Unix machine. Long answer: There are two parts to this question. First is why the warning occurs in iostream and the ...

std::lexicographical_compare_three_way for ranges
Why is there std::lexicographical_compare_three_way, but no std::ranges::lexicographical_compare_three_way? There is argument Comp in std::ranges::lexicographical_compare, but it is rather useless, because function returns bool, when one of the comparison category types is expected. Here are some links to cppref https...
Why is there std::lexicographical_compare_three_way, but no std::ranges::lexicographical_compare_three_way? The algorithms in std::ranges are constrained by concepts while the algorithms in std are not. So, for instance, std::ranges::lexicographical_compare (which uses a two-way comparison, defaulting to <) is specif...

std::filesystem::exists -- Do I need to check the std::error_code value if the function returns true?
std::filesystem::exists is used to check "if the given file status or path corresponds to an existing file or directory." In my code, I am using the definition with the following signature: bool exists( const std::filesystem::path& p, std::error_code& ec ) noexcept; My question is: if the function returns the boolean ...
The std::filesystem library evolved out directly from the corresponding Boost library. As several functions in the Boost libraries (such as Boost ASIO) it offers two interfaces that use a different type of error handling bool exists(std::filesystem::path const& p); bool exists(std::filesystem::path const& p, std::error...

Why I can't assign function returning rvalue reference when it's a int but I can when it's a class?
Why we can assign rvalue reference from a non-scalar but from a scalar it does not work, when returning from function, but works in local variable (wtf) ? #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <vector> #include <cstdlib> #include <cstring> #include <type_traits> using std::cout; using std::endl; struct A { ...
There's two things going on in your code. The first is the difference between being able to assign to temporaries (r-values) of class type. struct S{}; S{} = S{}; // ok, S is class type int{} = int{}; // error, int is an in-built type This explains why f() = 10; doesn't work, but g() = A(); does. f returns a r-val...

Merge sort working but deleting elements c++
Okay I have fiddled around with everything and can not find the problem. I am new to c++ and really need help with this. The merge sort works perfectly but for some odd reason will not give all the values. Working with recursive merge sort can be confusing so was hoping I could have this problem solved. Thank you!1 the...
The loop for (int i = 0; i < (arrSize / 2); i++) { arrayOne.push_back(data[i]); arrayTwo.push_back(data[i+arrSize/2]); } fails to work correctly when arrSize is an odd number. For example, if arrSize is 5, then arrSize / 2 evaluates to 2. Then, i takes values 0 and 1. So, arrayOne covers indices 0 and 1, and a...

How does the stringify operator expand TABS?
GCC seems like to always expand tabs in source code by spaces. It preserve space that are inside the expression. What does the standard says about it? For example, what will c contains in this example (<TAB> represent a litteral \t character in source code file). #define X(a) #a const char* c = X(<TAB>a<TAB>c<TAB>); /...
Consulting the C++ standard (draft)'s section [cpp.stringize] tells us: Each occurrence of whitespace between the stringizing argument's preprocessing tokens becomes a single space character in the character string literal. White space before the first preprocessing token and after the last preprocessing token compris...

value type of containers that contain other containers
In this question here a solution was suggested on how to check for the value type of a generic container, e.g. check if a std::vector contains integral. Now, sometimes I might be passing 2D vectors i.e. containers of containers that eventually has either a floating point or integral type. How can we modify the followin...
How do I extract the value type of the most nested container? There is a type trait shown by user Evg in this answer.

Is it bad form to have "operator>" delegate to "operator<"?
I wrote this in a recent program: friend bool operator<(const MyClass& a, const MyClass& b) { // Lots of comparison code here } friend bool operator>(const MyClass& a, const MyClass& b) { return b < a; } It works fine when I run the program, but is this bad form? Is there any reason I should not be doing this...
Defining the comparison operators in terms of less than is common in order to avoid writing the same code over and over (or copy/pasting) which is a source of bugs: bool operator<(const Foo& a, const Foo& b) { //Actual comparison of members } bool operator>=(const Foo& a, const Foo& b) { return !(a < b); } bo...

What "conversion" of template template parameters is allowed in C++?

E.g., I would expect that the following might compile successfully. template <typename...> struct foo { }; template <template <typename> typename Template> struct b...
I think Clang is wrong. Since C++17 (P0522R0, CWG 150), templates taking parameter pack like foo, should be allowed to be specified as template template argument for bar even it expects one template parameter. template<class T> class A { /* ... */ }; template<class T, class U = T> class B { /* ... */ }; template <clas...

Palindrome boolean not checking false
For some reason my boolean is not checking false, can anyone help me figure out why?

New answer You are getting the size of the string before the user has entered the string. Change int size = input.size(); cin >> input; to cin >> input: int size = input.size(); Previous answer You are using a single = rather than two in the if statement. Change if (flag = true) to if (flag == true)

How do I create a centered GLFW window?
I'm looking for the SDL equivalent of gWindow = SDL_CreateWindow( "SDL window", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, windowFlags ); for GLFW. I can center the glfw window after its creation with the below code, however, for a split second, the window is...
From the documentation: By default, newly created windows use the placement recommended by the window system. To create the window at a specific position, make it initially invisible using the GLFW_VISIBLE window hint, set its position and then show it.

how to print words inside a multi level char pointer array (c++)?
I have a const char** extentions of which is used with a call that returns an array into it. extentions= glfwGetRequiredInstanceExtensions(&extentionscount); im trying to print all the words in extentions. my current code looks like this for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) { for (int a = 0; a < 10; ...
You've almost got it. a workaround for i is putting extentionscount in there which should match the number of words That's no workaround, that's the solution ;) Secondly: the strings in the array are null-terminated, so you don't need to iterate through them, just pass them to cout. for (int i = 0; i < extensioncount...

Rotating a 3D object at a (fast) constant rate in QT
This seems like a pretty simple problem, but I have tried a implementation of what I think would work and it works "kind of". What I expect: To be able to rotate an object about an axis at a constant rate that is rather fast. (Roughly around 120 *RPM or 2 *RPS.) What I have tried: My basic implementation was a QTimer t...
It seems that what you want is to make an animation of the rotation so in that case it is better to use a QVariantAnimation, that class will interpolate the values between the ranges that are established so it is no longer necessary to define a minimum change (the 0.1 degrees that you use). Q3DFoo foo; QVariantAnimati...

I consider this to be just on the right side of the on/offtopic definition, using the exception for "tools regularily used by programmers".

How to convert string array to integer array in C++?
I have a string of non-uniform space separated integers ,I want to do some arithmetic operations on the elements so I have decided to first convert the string to integer array. Below is my approach: string s; //let s="1 2 30 54 899 2 7 3 1"; cin>>s; int n=s.length(); vector<int>arr(n...
What is wrong in this approach? operator>> only extracts until the first encountered character in std::cin that satisfies std::isspace(), so s could not possibly be initialized to a string containing spaces in your program. You assume that the length of the string n should be the length of the array. The number of c...

How to multiply multiple matrices with C++
I'm doing a homework assignment which involves multiplying more than 2 matrices.

Here is one solution.. Although I didn't applied dimension check of the matrices. So if you multiply a (3X4) & (2X4) matrix, it will not warn you. It can be done very easily with very simple steps. It worked for me with A = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [4X4] 0 1 2 3 7 8 9 0 B = 2 ...

string size after converting const unsigned char[] to std::string
I tried to convert unsigned char array to an std::string of size 16. But I don`t know why result string size is different. I want to know the reason. #include <iostream> using namespace std; const unsigned char t[16] = { 0x1E, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07 ,0x08 ,0x09, 0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15 };...
case 1: input is not explicitly null-terminated, and likely those global arrays are placed in memory sequentially, so you get at least 48 bytes without zeros, finally it finds some zero 8 bytes ahead, so total is 56. case 2: here you give it explicit length, and that's the correct way to do things in case of null termi...

Why does C++20 not allow to call a generic lambda with an explicit type?
auto f1 = []<typename T>(T) { return T{}; }; auto f2 = []<typename T>() { return T{}; }; int main() { f1(1); // ok f2<int>(); // err: expected primary-expression before 'int' } Why does C++20 not allow to call a generic lambda with an explicit type?
The correct syntax to invoke overloaded template operator () function supplying template parameters is auto f1 = []<typename T>(T) { return T{}; }; auto f2 = []<typename T>() { return T{}; }; int main() { f1(1); // ok f2.operator ()<int>(); // Ok } https://godbolt.org/z/YzY7njPGh
