Code::Blocks build and run is not working on Chromebook
Whenever I try to build and run any C++ code (I didn’t try it with other programming languages) in Code::Blocks, a prompt pops up saying this: it seems that the project has not been built yet. Do you want to build it now?" with three options of No, Cancel, and Yes. When I click Yes, the prompt closes, and it says th...
You must install g++ to compile C++ code. According to this question, you can use these commands to install it: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install build-essential sudo apt install software-properties-common sudo apt install gcc g++

Sequence point, function call and undefined behaviour
main.cpp const int& f(int& i ) { return (++i);} int main(){ int i = 10; int a = i++ + i++; //undefined behavior int b = f(i) + f(i); //but this is not } compile $ g++ main.cpp -Wsequence-point statement int a = i++ + i++; is undefined behaviour. statement int b = f(i) + f(i); is not undefined . why?
statement int b = f(i) + f(i); is not undefined . why? No, the second statement will result in unspecified behavior. You can confirm this here. As you'll see in the above linked demo, gcc gives the output as 23 while msvc gives 24 for the same program.

Why is the declaration of std::unique_ptr valid with an abstract class
for example: // Example program #include <iostream> #include <string> class abstract_class { public: abstract_class() = default; ~abstract_class() = default; virtual void read() = 0; }; int main() { std::unique_ptr<abstract_class> x; std::cout << "Hello, " << "!\n"; } I thought an Abstract Class ...
First things first, the argument types that you've mentioned in your question is for function call arguments and not for template arguments. why isnt this an error. Because you're creating a unique pointer to the abstract class object and not an object of the abstract class itself. That is, creating a pointer(whethe...

C++ question about iterating over std::vector

My question ("why it doesn't work?") Because myHolder.getSV().begin() and myHolder.getSV().end() work on different vectors since you're calling the member function stdHolder::getSV() twice and for each invocation there will a different vector returned(as you're returning a vector by value). That is, the iterator it i...

Why does g++ 11 trigger "maybe uninitialized" warning in connection with this pointer casting
After a compiler update from g++ v7.5 (Ubuntu 18.04) to v11.2 (Ubuntu 22.04), the following code triggers the maybe-uninitialized warning: #include <cstdint> void f(std::uint16_t v) { (void) v; } int main() { unsigned int pixel = 0; std::uint16_t *f16p = reinterpret_cast<std::uint16_t*>(&pixel); f(*f16p...
You don't initialize an object of type std::uint16_t, so it is used uninitialized. This error is suppressed by -fno-strict-aliasing, allowing pixel to be accessed through a uint16_t lvalue. Note that -fstrict-aliasing is the default at -O2 or higher. It could also be fixed with a may_alias pointer: using aliasing_uint1...

Nicol Bolas said, "C++ has no mechanism to kill threads." That's because there is no safe way to kill a thread in any language or in any OS. You can never be sure that, at the moment when the thread is killed, it hasn't left something in a bad state—e.g., left a mutex locked, left a data structure in an invalid state—t...

How to Handle Collision in 3D Grid based Game

Minecraft first calculates the player's AABB, then rounds it bigger to a whole number of blocks on each side, then checks whether the player's AABB (not rounded) collides with the AABB of any of the blocks in the rounded AABB. One extra block is added on the bottom, because fence blocks have AABBs that go up into the n...

You're setting the vertical velocity to 0 when you're pressing right or left. That's the second coordinate of b2Vec2. If you want to have gravity, replace that zero with the vertical velocity the block has when the buttons are not being pressed.

How come Gdiplus SolidBrush's RGB is different from regular RGB?
I'm trying to paint a simple header on top of my Window with Gdiplus' SolidBrush, but whenever I set the RGB color it's different from what it's suppose to be. How come this is happening? And is there a way to fix that? Thanks! Gdiplus' SolidBrush RGB: Regular RGB:
You are using the Color constructor taking four arguments, a, r, g, and b, in this order. (255, 255, 0, 0) thus means: Fully opaque (first value), red channel at full intensity (second value), and no contribution from other color channels. In other words: You're creating a fully opaque red brush as illustrated in the a...

What's the name of all the angle brackets?
In C++ we have angle brackets in different places and I think it's sometimes important to distinguish them when talking to other developers, e.g. during mob programming when navigating someone (e.g. "go to the arrow operator in line 36" or "now write the spaceship operator"). While I can of course call them "angle brac...

Can you "swap" slices of C++ std vectors?
If I have two C++ vectors: vector<int> a(5) {1,2,3,4,5}; vector<int> b(5) {6,7,8,9,10}; is there a one-line way to use the swap method to swap slices of a and b? Something like swap(a[something ... something], b[something ... something]); giving, for instance a equal to {1,9,10,4,5} and b equal to {6,7,8,2,3}?

How to delete a specific node in a linked list?

your problem is so simple, it's in that line: while (temp != null && temp->name == name) it should be: while (temp != null && temp->name != name) as the condition of looping, you are looping until you either didn't reach the end (temp != null) or the name isn't found in this iteration (temp->name != name). also, ther...

One solution is to create a mapping from function name to function itself. We know that a function is a pointer in C/C++, so we can easily do this after confirming the type of the function pointer. In your case, the target function type is int (*)(obj). Code snippet: #include <iostream> #include <map> #include <string>...

How to let gcc optimize std::bit_cast with std::move?

std::move into std::bit_cast is completely pointless and doesn't have any effect at all since std::bit_cast has a lvalue reference parameter and no rvalue reference overload. In your test case tmp is never used in foo except to read (uninitialized!) data from it. It is therefore clearly a missed optimization by the com...

Why the following example compile with no problems? The full-expression of any constexpr variable has to be a constant expression, i.e evaluable at compile-time.

Why not have all variables be a constexpr?
sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I dont have much experience with C++ programming and im trying to learn as much as a I can about its syntax. I came across the specifier constexpr and was wondering that if it allows you to save time at runtime, why not declare all your variables with it?
First of all not all variables can be made constexpr. For example int x; std::cin >> x; Obviously x cannot be constexpr. The value it will have after it has been read from input is not a compile-time constant. Second, constexpr is part of the contract of a variable or function. By marking it constexpr, you allow other...

const queue_handle applies the const to the pointer type itself, not the pointed to type as you intent to.

There are several issues with your deleteEnd function: There is no way that the caller can get the new tail reference, because the tail argument is passed by value.

Sending numpy array (image) to c++ library with ctypes
I'm trying to make a python program that can run Photoshop Plugins by using this DLL library from Spetric - https://github.com/spetric/Photoshop-Plugin-Host I need to send an image loaded by opencv to the dll (while I can read c++ I cannot program in it and have never been able to get the dll to compile for edits such ...
This is a duplicate of [SO]: C function called from Python via ctypes returns incorrect value (@CristiFati's answer), but I'm going to detail.

How can I set User Input from Code in C++?
I am creating a test for a function which gets the user input with std::cin, and then returns it. The test just needs to check if the input from the user, is the one actually returned. Problem is, the test should be automated so I can't manually react to the std::cin prompt. What can I do to set the input with code?
I wouldn't bother with automation or redirection of the std::cin functionality. From personal experience it always get much more complicated than it has to be. A good approach would be to separate your behavior. Bad: void MyFunction() { std::string a; std::cin >> a; auto isValid = a.size() > 1; } Better: ...

Function Pointer Initialization in C/C++
As I was going through a ESP IDF's documentation; I saw that a function pointer was initialized in a certain way that does not make sense to me. typedef void *app_driver_handle_t; app_driver_handle_t app_driver_light_init(); app_driver_handle_t app_driver_button_init(); Etc. I thought that in order to initialize a fu...
Let's break down the code you're looking at. typedef void *app_driver_handle_t; This is not a function pointer. This is a void pointer, which means it can point to basically any values. And this is a type, not a value, so app_driver_handle_t does not actually contain any pointers at all; it's merely a name that's syno...

How to pass tuple elements to callable in C++
How do I pass the elements of a tuple as arguments to any callable in C++? std::apply works only when the callable's arguments exactly match those of the tuple's. For instance: struct Foo { template<typename... Ts> Foo(std::string s, Ts&&... ts) {} } int main() { auto tup = std::make_tuple(5, 5.5f, 100000l); ...
Either you can specify template arguments, thereby choosing the overload; or, you might do a simple forwarding lambda: Foo f = std::apply([&](auto&&... args){ return Foo("", std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...);}, tup); Note that here I have added the first parameter as a string; an int is not accepted by Foo there....

Since "itoa" expects the 2nd argument to be "char*" and 'nodeReceivedData' is byte (assuming it is just an "unsigned char"), you can just cast it to a char* and should work as expected: itoa(LoRa.packetRssi(), (char*)&nodeReceivedData[packetSize+1], 10);

This has nothing to do with a destructor getting called for an r-value reference, or not. A destructor is a destructor. An object is getting destroyed. The End.

It would not necessarily be correct. When you use an assignment expression as a boolean for integers, it will return true if the integer is not zero, and it will return false if the integer is zero.

How can I check, straight away, if a set of pairs have a commom number?

I can only think of comparing two by two, but that is a lot of work for a lot of pairs...
In the sample code you've given, you need to check each pair (P1, P2, etc) separately (e.g. if (P1.first == 1 || P1.second == 1 || P2.first == 1 || <etc> )). If you insist on having P1, ...

You can't. You can distinguish xvalue and prvalues at the call site, but once you've passed them to a function that accepts them, you've lost the information of which of the two it was. The reason is that the value category is a property of an expression, and inside of the constructors literal has always the lvalue val...

How to do a template specialization with multiple arguments (when the type of one of them is known)
Here's the template for a class template <typename T, unsigned int size> class Foo { T myarray[size]; //other code (doesn't matter for the example) } and I want to do a template specialization for it. For example, I have defined class Bar. So I want to make a specialization for class Bar, but I want ...
This is called partial template specialization: template<unsigned int size> class Foo<Bar, size> { Bar myarray[size]; };

Is it possible to pass a struct pointer to an int argument of a function?
I am working on the Nachos Operating System as part of my coursework. While modifying the codebase of the OS, I encountered the following comment for a member function that allows you to run a function inside a newly forked thread (in this OS, processes are called threads - don't ask me why - refer to the official docu...
I want to understand what the authors of this codebase are trying to say.” They are saying, if you want to pass more data than an int, put it into a structure of your own design, say some struct foo x, and pass (int) &x to Thread::Fork. Implicit in the fact they are instructing you to do this is that the Nachos opera...

what is for (; e > 0; e >>= 1)?
Can anyone explain to me what's happening in line number 4, and how to understand these types of loops in future. I was solving this problem. I have used basic approaches like pow(2,n) and (1<<n), but it overflows. Then I got this solution, but I'm unable to understand that fourth line. I know how to use for() loops in...
The for loop has 3 components: for (a; b; c) { } a runs at the start. The loop will break when b is no longer true, and after each iteration c is executed.

How to get the default, max, min value of Video Proc Amp/Camera Control parameters from UVC camera?
I want to get the default, max, and min values of control parameters from UVC camera like the picture. I try to get the default value with the below function. However, it only gets the current value of XU control and I cannot get the default values of XU control or any value of Video Proc Amp/Camera Control like the a...
I found the solution to my question. I use IAMVideoProcAmp and IAMVideoProcAmp to realize this function. HRESULT hr; IAMVideoProcAmp* procAmp = NULL; IAMCameraControl* control = NULL; ... hr = pVideoSource->QueryInterface(IID_PPV_ARGS(&procAmp)); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { hr = procAmp->GetRange(prop, &min, &max, &step...

" /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected " error while building code for raspberry pi pico
I am on Ubuntu. I am trying to build a simple project that I know worked! (I already made it work) I don't think I changed something to it but it has been three days and I cannot find a way to make it build again. I use a library named pico-DMX, whenever I don't add it to my project with "include" in cmake, than the ma...
As mentioned in the comments, the cause is the name of your directory. In order to accurately explain why it happens, I reproduced your situation myself.

C++ Exception codes vs classes
I am developing a header-only C++20 library, and now I need to add exception classes. And I have two choices: One base class and many subclasses class library_error : public std::exception { // ... other work }; class parse_error : public library_error { // ... }; class playing_error : public library_error...
Likely, an exception is not only thrown blank, but there are arguments to it. E.g. the file missing, the device on which the playing error occurred. You'd likely expect the exception handler to be able to process these. Therefore, I'd strongly suggest not to go around the type system and have an exception type hierarch...

C++ template defining number of parameters of function
Lets say i have a class looking like this template<int n> class A{ array<size_t, n> sizes; //... public: template <int k> A<k> reshape(array<size_t, k> new_sizes){ return A<k>(new_sizes): } }; it works but the parameter new_sizes is syntatically suboptimal, since i have to call it like that: foo.r...
OR (even better) a way to define the size of a variadic parameter, so i could write something like foo.reshape(1,2,3); You could take the sizeof... a parameter pack: template <size_t N> class A { std::array<size_t, N> sizes; public: A() = default; template <class...

friend function is not a friend of all template instances?
In the following example I try to access the private member function subscribe() from a templated class type from within its friend function. However it appears that the friend function is only befriended in one instantiation of the class and not the other, hence yielding a "private within this context"-error. Check ou...
Yes, this is correct. my_class<int> and my_class<bool> are separate classes, and everything inside them will get defined separately for each instantiation of the template. Normally this is fine, because the stuff inside the classes is class members, so i.e. my_class<int>::subscribe and my_class<bool>::subscribe are di...

Idiomatic template parameter pack wrapper for template parameter pack deduction disambiguation
My initial goal is to disambiguate the following: template<typename... T, typename... U> void foo(){} In that case, foo< <a_sequence_of_types> >() always results in T = <a_sequence_of_types> and U = <empty_parameter_pack>. A classic solution is to pack T... and U... in std::tuple<T...> and std::tuple<U...> respectivel...
Problems arise if any of the involved template parameters is not default constructible as it is becomes impossible to bind the dummy parameters of foo in that case. You can pass std::type_identity<T> instead of T to tuple to pass type: foo(std::tuple<std::type_identity<int&>, std::type_identity<const f...

Syntax for std::bit_cast to an array

Not even std::bit_cast can return an array, so wrapping in a class (perhaps std::array) is the best you can do.

Change background color with OpenGL
The Qt OpenGL Window Example shows a colored triangle. The colors, RGB corners, are set with: static const GLfloat colors[] = { 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f }; How do I change the black background to another color?
You set the clear color with use of glClearColor function: C Specification void glClearColor(GLfloat red, GLfloat green, GLfloat blue, GLfloat alpha); Parameters red, green, blue, alpha Specify the red, green, blue, and alpha values used when the color buffers are cleared. The initial values are all 0. Description gl...

How to declare a <vector> object and use push_back inside a class?
I'm trying to build a class named "Tombola" which should contain as private variable an empty vector. This should be filled at runtime through the class member Tombola.estrai(), which generates a random number and insert it inside the vector named "order" by the method order.push_back(number). This is the class definit...
The reason of segmentation fault is in the constructor. You have to change for(int j=0;j<=x_max;j++) to for(int j=0;j<x_max;j++) in order not to cross the bounds of the array. for(int j=0;j<x_max;j++) { for (int k=0;k<y_max;k++) { tabellone[j][k] = z; z++; } } However, there are also some ...

C++ bitset strange value
#include <bitset> #include <assert.h> #include <stdio.h> using namespace std; int main() { bitset<128> bs(42); bs[11]=0; bs[12]=1; assert(bs[12]==1); printf("bs[11]=%d\n", bs[11]); printf("bs[12]=%d\n", bs[12]); return 0; } console output: Why can't I simply get 0 or 1 as output ?
printf with %d is for integer values, whereas std::bitset::operator[] returns a std::bitset::reference. You can use std::cout from <iostream> header (which is anyway a more c++ "way" to print to the console): #include <bitset> #include <assert.h> #include <iostream> int main() { std::bitset<128> bs(42); bs[11]...

nested vector with polymorphic_allocator cannot be constructed via emplace_back
The following code: std::pmr::vector<std::pmr::vector<int>> outer_vec(std::pmr::get_default_resource()); outer_vec.emplace_back(std::pmr::get_default_resource()); fails with quite inconceivable error message ending with static assertion failed: construction with an allocator must be possible if uses_allocator is true...
std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator uses uses-allocator construction if supported by the constructed type. std::vector does support uses-allocator construction and the allocator type of the inner std::vector is compatible with that of the outer one. In consequence uses-allocator construction will be used by the outer vecto...

You didn't use x, so the compiler didn't store it anywhere. Remember, when you write C++ you aren't writing a program. You're describing the behavior of the program you want your compiler to write for you. The compiler can write any program as long as its behavior matches the behavior you described. If you declare a...

How do I convert a String into a char in C++
I want to convert a string that is inside a vector of strings (vector) into a char. The vector would look something like the following: lons = ["41", "23", "N", "2", "11" ,"E"]. I would like to extract the "N" and the "E" to convert them into a char. I have done the following: char lon_dir; lon_dir = (char)lons[lons.si...
You cannot directly cast a c string (char* or const char*) to a char as it is a pointer. More precisely a pointer to an array of chars! So once you retrieve the right char* (or const char*) from your array lons it suffices to dereference said pointer, this will return the first character of that string char* str = "abc...

How to make a class static variable which depends on the complete class type a constexpr?

Is there any way to make instance a constexpr? // memchunk.hpp #ifndef MEMCHUNK_HPP #define MEMCHUNK_HPP #include <new> #include <utility> enum class DestroyOpti...
Use a function instead: class MyClass { static constexpr MyClass* instance(); }; MemChunk<MyClass> obj; constexpr MyClass* MyClass::instance() { return obj.get(); } However, this is pointless because obj.get() cannot be used in a constexpr context (because of the reinterpret_cast, as mentioned in the comment...

How to increment the C++list's Iterator inside a for loop to iterate over specific pattern say for example each second element?
Usually in C++ one can iterate over each second element by doing so: for (int i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 2 ){ //do Somthing } and for a C++ list (from library list) one can iterate over each element like so: std::list<int> dY = {5,4,5,8,9,7,10,4}; std::list<int>::iterator iterdY; for (iterdY = dY.begin(); iterdY ...
std::advance(iterdY, 2) But you can no longer use the comparison iterdY != dY.end() because if the list has an odd number of elements you will skip over the end iterator, and into the territory of undefined behavior. You must make sure that the list have an even number of elements first, if using iterators, or use some...
