Why does shared_ptr not delete its memory?
int main(){ int* iptr; { std::shared_ptr<int> sptr = std::make_shared<int>(12); iptr = sptr.get(); } std::cout << *iptr; return 0; } Output 12 I was expecting that the content to which iptr points, would have been deleted, at the end of inner curly braces. But output shows 12. Do I miss...
Why does shared_ptr not delete its memory? shared_ptr does delete the memory that it owns when it is the last owner. I was expecting that the content to which iptr points, would have been deleted, at the end of inner curly braces. You were expecting correctly. But output shows 12. Do I miss something? You're miss...

How to use typedef in header file cpp
I have created a new type using typedef and a struct. I want to export that type as a module. I have the following cpp header file: //header.h #ifndef VECTOR_H #define VECTOR_H typedef struct { float x; float y; float z; } Vector; #endif #ifndef PLANE_H #define PLANE_H class Plane { public: //...
You seem to be copying the Plane class's declaration, while an include is enough, so change your module.cpp file into something like: #include "header.h" Plane::Plane(Vector P1, Vector P2, Vector P3) { } Note that above does define what the header does declare, in C and C++, we can separate the declaration from defi...

how to make a table with different types
i need to put some data of different types(int,string)in the same table (knowing that the structure of the table is variable(rows, columns, the type of the data in the column is variable)) ,how can i do this in C++
Either use std::variant or a union. The former is type-safe, but only available in C++17 and later.

Why do I have to move the pointer by 2 using 'seekg' when it points at a new line symbol?
Trying to parse the file: 1 2 3 It basically represents something like this: 1\n\n2\n\n3. I want to skip a number of symbols and if a particual one is presented during this action, I should to return the pointer back. Further the first implementation is put forward: void DoSomething(std::fstream &file, std::size_t n...
On Windows, historically text files store 2 symbols for a line break - \r\n. When you open a file with std::(i|o)fstream in text mode, read operations replace \r\n with \n, and vice versa on write operations. std::istream::seekg() moves the read pointer in bytes, ignoring that translation. So std::istream::peek() give...

How print out the OpenGl version of a GPU and put it in a string in Opengl and C++?

Cast an element in Eigen Vector/Matrix to a primitive double type
Basically how do i do this Eigen::RowVectorXd param(2); param << 1.0, 2.0; double last_element = param.tail(1); // error: no suitable conversion... I know i can use .coeff() however in my code some vectors are being resized, thus the size is unknown a priori
Would something like this work: Eigen::RowVectorXd param(2); param << 1.0, 2.0; double last_element = param(param.size() - 1); or even better, using the Eigen provided last value: double last_element = param(Eigen::last);

Using iterator to read input
I have the following code, which has sin_start(cin) function. I am not sure if there is any such function defined in C++ or if I need to define it myself. But somehow this code compiles and runs too. #include <iostream> #include <iterator> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Enter integers: "; istream_i...
The code compiles because it is valid code. It just doesn't do anything meaningful. sin_start is not a function, it is a variable of type istream_iterator<int>, where istream_iterator is a template class defined in the <iterator> header file. It is being passed std::cin as a parameter to its constructor, so it knows wh...

Problems understanding the min and max declarations syntax in std::chrono::duration_values
I'm having a look at the piece of code below, from std::chrono, and I don't understand the _Rep(min)() syntax.

And, why isn't the same done for zero? template <class _...

using constexpr to return pointer
Since C++20 we can allocate memory during compile time and we have to free that during compile time. Therefore this raised some questions for me: first why does this work? constexpr int* return_ptr() { return new int{ 1 }; } void call_return_ptr(){ int* int_ptr = return_ptr(); } int main() { call_return_p...
There is no such thing as "compile-time". Not really. What there is is "constant expression evaluation". These are a certain category of expressions whose evaluation happens in a certain way, such that the results of their evaluation are available to the source code. A constexpr function is a function which may be eval...

You cannot call functions outside of a method, unless you're initializing globals. You need to put your function call inside a method. I.e. int main() { r_print("hi", nullptr); }

Finding key corresponding to max value in c++ map
Given a number say 'KEY' and map <int, int> myMap. I am trying to find a smallest key k (condition: k < KEY) in the map myMap such that it's value is maximum. Example: map <int, int> myMap = {{3,1}, {4,3}, {5,2}, {6,3}, {7,2}, {8,5}}; // ^^^ int KEY = 7; Answer is 4, since for all the keys...
How about this. You maintain a secondary map, a subset of your primary one. Specifically, this secondary map would contain {k, v} if and only if all smaller keys in the primary map correspond to smaller values. For your example of {3,1}, {4,3}, {5,2}, {6,3}, {7,2}, {8,5}, this secondary map would be {3,1}, {4,3}, {8,5}...

Is there any way to fix this? static size_t WriteCallback(void *contents, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp) { ((std::string*)userp)->append((char*)contents, size * nmemb); ...
As noted earlier, you have to run the function in a separate worker thread. CreateThread + WaitForSingleObject may behave like a blocking function, depending on how it is implemented... One alternative is to run the worker thread and continue in GUI thread. Once the worker thread is finished, use synchronization object...

Mapping a structure to uint64_t

You std::memcpy the structure to an uint64_t. std::memcpy is a legal way to perform type punning, it is allowed since your structure is trivially-copyable. In C++20 there is also std::bit_cast. Unlike std::memcpy it's constexpr, but to make it work at compile-time I had to add uint64_t : 51; at the end of the struct. ...

C++ string variables not accepting enter and tab whitespace?
Why does the following work: string input = "a long string of text pasted from a .txt file"; But this version does not? string input = " some large string "; I thought C++ doesn't care about whitespace.
You can do something like this. It's called a raw string literal: string input = R"( some large string )"; This will include the endline characters as well. The format is R"(string-literal)"

emplace_back an object containing a mutex

std::mutex is not copyable. Its copy constructor is deleted. "Copying a mutex" makes no logical sense. If the mutex is locked, what does that mean? Is the copy-constructed mutex is also locked? If so, who locked it? Who gets to unlock it? This makes the SearchThread class also uncopyable, and have a deleted copy constr...

Will if-else statements nest without brackets?
I want to write something utterly ridiculous that calls for a great depth of conditional nesting. The least disorienting way to write this is to forgo brackets entirely, but I have not been able to find any info on if nesting single-statement if-else guards is legal; the non-nested version causes people enough problem...
From cppreference.com: in nested if-statements, the else is associated with the closest if that doesn't have an else So as long as every if has an else, nesting without brackets works fine. The problem occurs when an else should not be associated with the closest if. For example: if ( condition1 ) { if ( ...

What's the difference between the code "c1={8}" and "c1=circle{8}"? They have the same effect here; both construct a temporary circle which is move-assigned to c1 later. Both perform list initialization (since C++11), in c1={8} the temporary is copy-list-initialized, in c1=circle{8} the temporary is direct-list-initi...

Squared Euclidean distance with Row Major Matrix Eigen C++

Immediate function as default function argument initializer in Clang++
If one uses an immediate function (declared with consteval) for default initialization of a global function argument like here consteval int foo() { return 0; } int bar(int a = foo()) { return a; } int main() { return bar(); } then Clang compiler issues the error: error: cannot take address of consteval function 'foo'...

The normal way for C++ compilers to do FP math on x86-64 is with scalar versions of SSE instructions, e.g. addsd xmm0, [rdi] (https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/addsd).

the filled pixel should be no further than 2 pixels from unfilled one, so well implemented BFS wouldn't take long. Sure, doing it once won’t take long.

Nice demonstration why are ordinary raw arrays dangerous. The issue is with pointer arithmetic and +1. For T* ptr;, ptr+1 advanced the pointer by sizeof(T) bytes, or one T. In main, &array is of type string(*)[4], so the pointer is incremented by sizeof(string)*4. This leads to the correct size. On contrary, string arr...

You can do something really beautiful like this using the data structure proposed by @Retired Ninja.

How does the compiler copy member data that are arrays?
AFAIK, an array cannot be copied nor assigned so: int a[5] = {1, 2};// 1 2 0 0 0 int b = a;// error b = a; // error But how does the compiler copies arrays that are member data of a class/struct type through the trivial copy-ctor and copy-assignment operator? // trivial struct struc Arr{ int arr_[7]; }; Arr a = {...
So does the compiler does something like: this->arr_ = rhs.arr_? No. As you said, this wouldn't compile. Or it iterates over all elements of rhs.arr_ and copy-assign them to their coresponding elements in lhs? For the copy assignment operator - yes. For the copy constructor - no. There, each element is copy-constru...

Accessing a class variable in another class shows a different behavior in C++

So here I am trying to learn different methods to access this private variable(_x) from any other class(Here in this case it is class Two). This is my scenario basically. ...
The problem in your code is that you pass to Two an instance of class One by value. This means that Two stores a copy of the instance of One you pass to it. When you change the value of _x in one it does not affect the value of _x in _a (inside two). In order for your code to work you need to pass a reference to One in...

I was making a simple C++ code that takes multiple lines of input, the first line defines how many numbers the user will enter, then he enters them all, the code will reverse every number of them and print the reversed version of every number space-separated, the surprise I faced is that, for some reason, using unsigne...
An unsigned type can never be less than zero. The language standard supports underflow/overflow to wrap to the opposite end of the domain in both scenarios. Eg: #include <iostream> int main() { unsigned short i = 0; --i; std::cout << i << '\n'; } Output 65535 Therefore, you can put any legal value you wa...

Vector of square root no printing in C++

You can define the << operator for vector<int> (or as a template for vector<T>). Insert the following code before squareRoot: std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const std::vector<int>& v) { os << "["; bool first = true; for (const auto& x : v) { if (first) { first = false; ...

Using accumulate to calculate alternate sum
If I use the accumulate function in C++ like the below std::vector<int> v2{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; int sum = 0; std::cout << std::accumulate(v2.begin(), v2.end()) It will simply sum all the numbers. But I wanted to calculate 1-2+3-4+5 I was thinking of some way to accumulate 1,3,5 and 2,4 separately and then do it But no...
This is my quick solution : int sign = -1; // start with minus first (e.g. 1-2) std::vector<int> values{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; auto value = std::accumulate(values.begin(), values.end(), 0, [&sign](int total, int value) { sign = -sign; return total + (sign)*value; });

Reading paragraph in file line by line using getline() function and using while loop with codition fin.eof() but result is infinte loop

Calling clear will reset the eof flag, so the condition of the while-loop will always evaluate to true. Call clear before getline and the code will work.

As the comments point out, you'll need to use a std::variant or std::any as a return type. std::any getValue(string input) { if (input == ...) { return "string return type"; } if (input == ...) { return 100; } if (input == ...) { return 123.456; } return false; } Ho...

If you look into the constructors of those classes you’ll see that they have interesting side effects, either registering themselves with some manager class or storing themselves in static/global pointer variables á la singletons.

Edge *edge = new Edge[E * sizeof(Edge)]; Unless E is initialized, this multiplies an uninitalized variable by sizeof(Edge) (which is also wrong on its face value as well, but we'll get to it later).

Here is the code but it seeming to get on an infinite loop since the value in pair doesn't get updated. vector<string> solve(vector<string> A, vector<string> B) { ...
Your code is making a lot of copies of all of the objects involved, so it makes sense that trying to make modifications of those objects is not having the effect you want. You need to make use of references/pointers to avoid those copies. Try something more like this instead: vector<string> solve(const vector<string> ...

Duplicating wide-character string
I am trying to create an application in which I have a function where I am trying to duplicate a wide character string. I am currently using _wcsdup(), since it is a Windows application and everything is working fine for me. But I need to create a multi-platform function, so _wcsdup() (which is a Windows function) will...
The standard cross-platform equivalent would be to allocate/free a wchar_t[] buffer using new[]/delete[] (or, if absolutely needed, malloc()/free() to mirror the behavior of _wcsdup()), using std::copy() or std::memcpy() to copy characters from wstring into that buffer, eg: std::wstring w = wstring.str(); wchar_t* out ...

How to link Google Test with premake5
I want to link Google Test (https://github.com/google/googletest) with my project. I added gtest as submodule in following directory: %{wks.location}/sengine/vendor/gtest I have following premake5 script in gtest directory: project "gtest" kind "StaticLib" language "C++" targetdir ("bin/" .. outputdir .. "/%{prj.name}...
googletest expects that the directory googletest/include dir is a root include directory. You can infer this because <> are used (compared to "" for relative paths in the project) and the path is given relative to this directory in gtest-all.cc. I work more with CMake an have no experience with premake5 but usually you...

Why do I keep getting undefined reference using SFML in VSCode?
I'm tried compiling this program copied from the sfml tutorial #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp> int main() { // create the window sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window"); // run the program as long as the window is open while (window.isOpen()) { // check all the window's ...
Turns out I got the wrong version of SFML. It works perfectly now, thanks!

Minimum syntax to guarantee no dynamic memory with std::function
Quite often I want to write higher order functional code like void f(int value, const std::function<void(int)>& callback); int x, y=5; f(y, [&](int result) { x = result; }); In cases like these, I would like to be able to guarantee that the std::function constructor does not allocate any memory. The guarantees in th...
There are no guarantees of allocations (or lack of thereof) specified in the standard for std::function constructors. Most you can hope for is a recommendation, from 20.14.17.3.2: Recommended practice: Implementations should avoid the use of dynamically allocated memory for small callable objects, for example, where f...

Segmentation fault DPDK
I've written a sender application using dpdk libraries. struct my_message{ struct rte_ether_hdr eth_hdr; // the ethernet header char payload[10]; }; */ Sender Application */ void my_send(struct rte_mempool *mbuf_pool, uint16_t port, uint64_t max_packets) { int retval; struct rte_mbuf *bufs[BURST_SIZE];...
As per the provided source code and debug printouts, every time rte_eth_tx_burst() fails to send the whole batch of 256 mbufs, your program leaks unsent packets. The loop reiterates thus overwriting mbufs. The leak subsequently grows, and the mempool runs out of available objects. At some point rte_pktmbuf_alloc() retu...

Not able to get some autosuggestions for inner class members in std::map in visual studio code (Intellisense)
I am currently making a reverse map class bidir_map. The code can be compiled using GCC in the terminal so the types and members should be in scope but Intellisense is not giving autosuggestion for specific parts of the code e.g. std::pair<K,V> members (but it does give suggestions to std::map members). What is the rea...
IntelliSense is unable to give names of members which are dependent on template parameter types. Example: A certain member function might exist for most template parameter types but for certain types the class might have a specialization that has no such function defined. Since we haven't provided any concrete types ye...

Overload of variadic template function with another template

Aggregate vs non-aggregate structs/classes
I am trying to understand what an aggregate class/struct/union is: Here is from the C++ standard: An aggregate is an array or a class (Clause 9) with no user-provided constructors (12.1), no brace-or-equal-initializers for non-static data members (9.2), no private or protected non-static data members (Clause 11), no b...
The rules for what is and what is not an aggregate has changed a lot over various standard versions. This answer briefly highlights the changes related with OP's three questions. For a more thorough passage, see e.g. The fickle aggregate, which walks through these different rules along with the correct standard (versio...

Problem returning unsigned char value from C++ dll to C#
In the following example, I try to concatenate two unsigned chars(which is the requirement) by passing the values to a C++ dll and return a single string. The output I'm getting is not right. C#: using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Text; class HelloWorld { [DllImport("cpp_func.dll")...
The memory for c array is allocated in the concat_fun function and has a scope and lifetime of this function, so the memory is released when you leave the function body. Try to allocate c array in the calling function Main or use dynamic memory allocation: new/delete or malloc/free in concat_fun.

Deleting NULL pointer memory
I've encountered strange, unbelievable problem. I wrote a program in which structure is reallocated several times. The pointer is initially NULL, and before allocation it is checked whether NULL or it is deleted. But, I've made a mistake here. I wrote like this if (!pConfig) delete pConfig;, which means it is never del...
Yes, you got memory leaks here. Memory leaks are common problems, but they won't cause your program to be killed immediately, sometimes when the system memory is running out, the OS will kill other programs that are not leaking, they are victims. Delete a NULL pointer is always safe, and it's duplicated. What you have ...

How to efficiently (without looping) get data from tensor predicted by a torchscript in C++?
I am calling a torchscript (neural network serialized from Python) from a C++ program: // define inputs int batch = 3; // batch size int n_inp = 2; // number of inputs double I[batch][n_inp] = {{1.0, 1.0}, {2.0, 3.0}, {4.0, 5.0}}; // some random input std::cout << "inputs" "\n"; // print inputs for (int i ...

Does C++ guarantee the minimum number of std::placeholders::_N?
According to cppref: The std::placeholders namespace contains the placeholder objects [_1, . . . _N] where N is an implementation defined maximum number. I just wonder: Does C++ guarantee the minimum number of std::placeholders::_N?
No, there is no guaranteed minimum number of placeholders. [func.bind.place] explicitly calls out the number as an "implementation-defined number of placeholders." However, it is likely that you will have access to 10 different placeholders, as [implimits] says: The bracketed number following each quantity is recommen...

How do I make a virtual variable?
I know there's virtual functions, but no virtual variables.

why dont you use virtual getter in both classes? like : virtual int getA() and virtual int getB() it will be easier for you to access those variables then :)

C++: Calling a specific funtion within a class via the main function
I have 3 classes and each has a function within them, I want to call these functions specifically via a number-driven menu from within the main function. For example, if the user chooses New accounts I want to redirect him to the New accounts function. What I wanna know is how can you exactly call a specific function (...
Your approach is correct and widely used. For 3 functions/methods (and more) a switch would be a bit more convenient: switch(menu_input) { case 1: account.newAccount(); break; case 2: other.method(); break; case 3: yet_another.method(); break; } PS: account.newAccount() sounds and looks like a ...

Is the initializer of a constexpr variable at class scope allowed to reference the variable?
The following code: struct S { static constexpr int rolling_sum[4]{ 0, rolling_sum[0] + 1, rolling_sum[1] + 2, rolling_sum[2] + 3 }; }; is accepted by clang (tested with version 12), but rejected by gcc (tested with version 11) with the following errors: test.cpp:4:9: error: ‘ro...
You aren't missing anything. This is GCC bug 99059, reported in GCC 11. Your case applies too, since just like static inline, a constexpr variable must be initialized at the point of declaration. The same lookup related bug would affect C++14 code as well.
