Correct - that is why I used term "nested objects ".
My goal is to have an application with logical , intuitive GUI . hence I have sort of main parent GUI object with children.
I am using " cut and paste " example which is "pop=up" dialog based , and I have added another windowing part to it.
Unfortunately I did not keep better track of these , basically TWO parallel methods.
And that what caused the problem.
With so much help received I am sure I can adjust my code to avoid further disasters..
and I do appreciate the help, very much.

This is a reply to your question in the Lounge, which as you well know is not the place for programming questions.
Salvatore Terress wrote: where to find decent description of the
this syntax
m_status(new QLabel),
It is part of the constructor for a MainWindow_Bluetooth object. And since that line follows the set of initializers, it means create a new QLabel object, and store its pointer in the variable m_status. Why you are doing that, only you can answer.
Bottom line, study the documentation for C++ classes, where all the syntax is explained.

Greetings Kind Regards
Please consider the C++ code below. It is utilized it to generate a locale formatted number e.g. "1,234". However subsequent I wish again to generate a number but not so formatted e.g. "1234". So I inquire can an imbued locale be removed from an output stream so no such locale specific formatting occurs. Of course another stream which has not been so imbued can be utilized for this purpose but prefer not to do so as such seems a less elegant solution.
Thank You Kindly
basic_ostringstream<char> _ostream;
_ostream.imbue(locale("en-US"));
_ostream << 1234;
|
|
|
|
|
_ostream.imbue(std::locale::classic());
If you want to be standard abiding, names prefixed with "_" are reserved in global namespace.
I can hear "man, is this guy pedantic!"

May I please inquire how you would name the variable. It is my custom to utilize prefix '_' for identifiers of objects of standard template library types for brief simple functions as the purpose of such object is obvious in such situations instead of a lengthy explanatory name which I reserve for more lengthy more complicated functions.

It's a question of taste: put the underscore at the other end (ostream_), or come up with a different name (ostrm). As in any question of taste, there isn't any right answer; my personal preference goes for trailing underscore.
The rule about leading underscore is not my invention. See C++ Language standard section 17.6.4.3.2 - Global names (page 429).

I am seriously trying to learn more about C++_.
I did add a new class to the constructor, just following an examples , and
I do not understand why I am getting this error.
My own add is duplicate of existing , working class,
and I do no see why
it does no like the pointer.
m_serial(new QSerialPort(this),
m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT)

There is a slight discrepancy in your code. You wrote:
m_serial(new QSerialPort(this),
m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT)
Meanwhile the compiler error message is:
m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT()) (note the extra pair of parenthesis).
The code you posted is potentially correct, assuming m_TAB_Ext is declared as:
A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT *m_TAB_Ext; However the compiler error message seems to indicate that you have those extra parenthesis and, in this case, the compiler interprets it as a function call.

Good catch, but even after removing the () I get same error.
m_serial(new QSerialPort(this),
m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT)
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure I understand what you try to do. Maybe the code samle is a bit too short. Where is the `m_TAB_ext` initialization line? I don;t see a declaration for `m_TAB_ext`.

Quote: m_serial(new QSerialPort(this),
// sequence 1` st add HERE
m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT)
Which of the overloaded constructors of the QSerialPort class are you trying to call?
Could you please show full details of m_TAB_Ext variable?

THANKS,
you have a very nice , positive , constructive way to lead to solution.

What is the definition of m_TAB_Ext? It looks like it, or m_serial, is looking for a function reference/pointer, but you are passing it a pointer to a A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT object.
|
|
|
|
|
May I please inquire what is a Q_OBJECT .
|
|
|
|
|
Here are all parameters definitions (?)
PS
There are no other errors / issues .
So what is
QSerialPort *m_serial = nullptr;
contributing to the issue / error and why is it part of the discussion?
( just asking )
<pre> private:
public:
A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT *m_TAB_Ext = nullptr;
private:
void showStatusMessage(const QString &message);
Ui::MainWindow_Bluetooth *m_ui = nullptr;
QMdiArea *m_mdiarea = nullptr;
QLabel *m_status = nullptr;
Console *m_console = nullptr;
SettingsDialog *m_settings = nullptr;
QSerialPort *m_serial = nullptr;
SettingsDialog_RFcomm *m_settings_RFcomm = nullptr;

I inquire re/ Q_OBJECT because I do not understand why the compiler does not report an error re/ its usage in the code as written as I assume it is either the name of a type perhaps a class type or an identifier of an object of some type. In either case it would of course be a syntax error exempli gratia as per below:
class cfoo
{
int
public:
void foo();
}Likewise it is a syntax error to write the identifier of an object without a type specifier exempli gratia as per below:
class cfoo
{
xyz
public:
void foo();
}Perhaps Q_OBJECT is a macro hiding these details.
In conclusion I do not see the answer to my inquiry.

Sorry , I got sidetracked fixing the issue.
I have been told , not just advised, NOT to post Qt questions.
Since I am not welcomed
to do so I , on my own, do not want to discuss Qt here.
I think that is fair.
Cheers

I am using makefile / make DEFINES as common resource for project.
DEFINES += define PORT_CONFIGURATION
DEFINES += undefine SERIAL_SETUP
DEFINES += define STATUS_BAR
DEFINES += define TRACE_MENU
DEFINES += define TEST_SERIAL_PORT
DEFINES += define SERIAL_PORT_SETUP
DEFINES
# add Apr15
DEFINES += define DEBUG_MDI
DEFINES += define TRACE_CONSOLE
Is there a simple way to ERASE all DEFINES and start fresh?
My code has few places of DEFINES and commenting them out is impractical.
I did ask Mr Google , and the above did not work.
Thanks

I have run out of options to resolve this in another forum.
The "conclusion " was - it is a linker error...
I am asking for help to actually correct the error.
There are no other errors posted.
This is ALL (of the errors ) I have to go by.
I will be happy to provide RELEVANT info , barring " what are you trying to do...".
I am deliberately NOT adding more info , for now, I just do not want to
derail / influence your ideas of fixing it.

Look at the error message (again):
mainwindow.cpp:(.text+0x270): undefined reference to `ORIGINAL_TERMINAL_MainWindow::ORIGINAL_TERMINAL_MainWindow(QWidget*)
In your mainwindow.cpp source you are calling the constructor of the ORIGINAL_TERMINAL_MainWindow class. But the linker did not find a definition of that constructor anywhere in the modules and libraries that are being used to build your application. So you need to find out exactly where it is defined and why the linker cannot find it.

Calling break inside nested for loops breaks all loops or just the inner loop where break is found?
Do I need to do this to exit all loops?
bool breakouter = false;
for(int x=0;x<count;x++)
{
for(int y=0;y<count;y++)
{
breakouter = true;
break;
}
if(breakouter)
break;
}

Only the inner loop.
If you want to break out of more loops you can do something like:
for(int x=0;x<count && !breakouter;x++)
{
for(int y=0;y<count;y++)
{
breakouter = true;
break;
}
}
Mircea

Probably one of the last valid usecase for goto.
Especially if more than 2 inner loops.
Obviously, if your loops are doing many resources allocations, you'll need to do manual cleaning.
