[Solved] C++: Update to memory location using pointer is lost [closed]

This is bad: void TestLocalQueue::putMsg(){ ControlCommand cc; cc.setDynamic(“target”); cout<<“Setting Dynamic context \n”<<endl; localQueue->put(&cc ); The localQueue->put function stores the pointer you give it into the queue. However cc‘s lifetime is only for the duration of the putMsg function, so when this function exits you will have a dangling pointer. To fix this you could either … Read more

[Solved] Make a new pointer in a loop C

i and id are both local variables with automatic storage (commonly referred to as on the stack). No new instances are created upon each iteration of the loop, the same space is reused and a new value is stored in id, hence the same addresses printed by printf. Note that the value of id is … Read more

[Solved] I’m just beginning to learn C: Can someone explain what the pointers and typecasting are doing in this code? [closed]

The snippet char *encrypt(char *string, size_t length) { } defines a function named encrypt, which takes a char * and a size_t as arguments, and returns a char *. As written, the function body is empty and will trigger at least one diagnostic because it isn’t returning a value. It looks like it’s meant to … Read more

[Solved] Array and pointers in c++ [duplicate]

I often hear that the name of an array is constant pointer to a block of memory You’ve often been mislead – or you’ve simply misunderstood. An array is not a constant pointer to a block of memory. Array is an object that contains a sequence of sub-objects. All objects are a block of memory. … Read more

[Solved] Pointer gives me the address rather than the value;

OK, now I think you’ve finally posted the code that has the problem class ZombieLand : public Singleton<ZombieLand> { DECLARE_SINGLETON(ZombieLand); public: MachineState* world[19][19]; bool map[19][19]; MachineState* getField(int x, int y) { return world[x][y]; } void setWorld(MachineState state) { world[state.x][state.y] = &state; map[state.x][state.y] = true; } }; This is undefined behaviour because you are saving the … Read more

[Solved] Copy array of strings to array of string pointers

To understand what is happening under the hood you must understand the pointer and value semantics of for range construct in go. It is clearly explained in this ardan labs article emails := []string{“a”, “b”} CCEmails := []*string{} for _, cc := range emails { p := &cc fmt.Println(cc, p) CCEmails = append(CCEmails,&cc) } The … Read more
