Thanks for the replies. All of them helped to shed light on the subject for me.
This is for a project being done with Qt. The documentation doesn't mention much about it (I couldn't find it anyway). I do have the source code though.
Thanks again.

A pointer is merely an address. In 32-bit Windows, it is a DWORD value. It's not even guaranteed that the address is valid, or that some data exists at that address.
A safe way to 'delete' your pointer, is just to assign it a value of zero.
That way, you can check first before attempting to use it.

Typically, well designed API functions (like those from QT) will not pass pointers to allocated memory and expect you to free it - unless the function is specifically designed to do just that. For the reasons pointed out above, that would be bad design.
In such cases, a better design would be to either return a container object by value, or a smart pointer (which, in a way, is also a kind of container), or the caller must pass a buffer to the function to hold the returned data - in which case both the allocation and deallocation are in the responsibility of the caller.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I've found the Qt documentation isn't all that great. The documentation for the MS frameworks is actually surprisingly good in comparison.

Be aware that in Qt, you don't always have to delete/free a pointer. When you add widgets, for example, the parent object takes ownership. I suspect that is the case here. (Moreover, you could argue that not freeing memory on exit isn't a leak since the entire process is going away and the applications heap will be deleted.)

Hi,
I think this may help you to get clarification, please see once. 
class student
{
int x;
public:
student()
{
x=0;
}
~student()
{
cout<<"I am in student destructor\n";
}
};
student* fun()
{
student *s = new student();
return s;
}
int main()
{
student *s = fun();
delete s;
getchar();
return 0;
}

Hi,
I am no expert in C and I have started learning it again after several years. Excuse me for stupid questions. My question is simple.
When i give %f as conversion character inside printf, but pass some integer to it, what happens? It prints some garbage value? or is there any pattern?
Consider the below program..
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
float gift1, gift2;
float total;
printf("How much do you want to spend on 1 \n");
scanf(" %f", &gift1);
printf("How much do you want to spend on 2 \n");
scanf(" %f", &gift2);
total = gift1+gift2;
printf("\nThe total you will be spending on gifts is $%.2f", total);
printf("\n %s %d %f %c", "Gokul", 90, 100, 'X');
return 0;
}
In the above program, i have added a final printf which has nothing to do with the rest of the program. I have simply added it. And i have passed the integer 100 to the %f conversion character. While executing the program, i give some random values for gift1,gift2 which accounts to, say 1958.9967. So, total is 1958.9967
But the value of total is also printed as part of my final line, like below
Gokul 90 1958.9967
Here, X is not printed as well. So, what is happening. Instead of 100, when i tried with 100.19, it gives the desired result (like below)
Gokul 90 100.19 X
I tried another small program like below..
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("\n %f specifies floating number, but i will give an integer",1987);
return 0;
}
Here, my output was like below
0.000000 specifies floating number, but i will give an integer.
Here, where does this 0.000000 comes from? In case of previous program it printed the value of "total" - why? what is the behavior here?
Btw, I am using Code Blocks compiler, if that's of any significance here.
Thanks in advance.

When %f is encountered in the format string, the computer attempts to pop a floating point number off of the stack, what it finds instead is 100, an integer. When you changed it to 100.19, the computer found what it was expecting.
My rule of thumb is always use a (double or float) cast, or append .0 to any floating point numbers. That way, these problems and others are avoided.

Dear You are trying to convert an int value into float without using any of the coversion processing thats why you got wrng ans. everytime when you put a int value
Similiarly when you are trying to put int value into float its also gave unrelevant answer

Hi Gokul,
I understood your doubt. Here i am trying to clarify why it is happening clearly.
printf("\n %s %d %f %c", "Gokul", 90,100,'X');
in the above piece of code if you observe clearly, with the assumption of starting address will be 0x1000, the contents of your piece of code will occupy memory as follows.
"Gokul"- at 0x1000
90 - at 0x1006
100 - at 0x1010
'X' - at 0x1015
Now as per your format specifiers first %s will fetch first 6 Bytes("Gokul"),
%d will fetch next 4 bytes of data as integer, so fetches 90,
now %f means it will fetch next 8 Bytes of data means from 0x1010 to 0x1017 which includes memory location of 'X' also, after fetching it will try to display float number but it won't display as no external coversion you are doing. So it will display 0.0000000
Then during this time we are at memory location 0x1018 in which some garbage value(Σ) will be there as we are not storing anything.
Even though if you give some other character in place of 'X' also it will give same value(Σ) as garbage is there in 0x1018 location.
if you change 100 to some float number or explicitly converted to float number((float)100), then it will occupy 8 bytes memory now. then no problems and no unwanted results you get.
If any clarifications feel free to ask, you will get help definitely.
Thank you.

Hi I'm trying to learn 3D graphics using C++/MFC. I suppose the context of my questions don't really have to do with C++
perse but more linear algebra I guess. Please bear with me since I'm dumb as a rock.
From my research the pipeline consists of projections/transformation
"model (vertices)" -> World -> View Cube (or tho projection) -> screen.
after I transform the vertices of the model to "world" and then project it to the "view cube" for clipping I then flatten the vertices in the desired axis. So if I wanted a 2d orthographic side view, I would set the Y coordinate to 0 in the matrix to flatten.
Please see this graphic [^]
My question is, do I then need to rotate the left vector space I flatten the object(s) on to a "front" vector space and then draw on the screen?
thanks

Hi all
I want to achieve such an efect like - one view which takes all MDI area and some views which arelike non modal dialogs
How can I do it?
Two Child frames will be correct? one for "big" view which will be always visible and second for a "smal" views
maybe another solution would be better
Thank you in advance for help and advice
|
|
|
|
|
curious what are you showing in your MDI?
you can just use the same instance of CDocument object for both the MDI and the non modal dialogs.
just get a pointer to the MDI CDocument object and access within your non modal dialogs classe(s)
You can also just get pointers to the specific controls used in your MDI (tree, list, GDI obects) and then just acces these in your modal classes. So the data will all be the same.
there are several effective ways to do this, but it's situational

The first warning is just telling you OleAcc.dll is not used and you can remove the reference to it.
Okay now the problem is simple they are all linker errors you are through the compiler process
That means the linker include directory is wrong or not set at all and those are standard MFC libraries so they should be available.
I am going to take a wild guess take a look under the project settings->linker->command line
It wouldn't happen to contain the command /NODEFAULTLIB would it?
That is the only way I can think to get that problem and if it's there please remove it.

if the problem is cannot open include file <iostream.h>, You must first check the following:
1. Check your directories if your compiler you used was save in the same directories.
2. How to check your directories (press Alt O(Options) in your C ++(IDE)compiler then choose directories.
3. Then change your directories if it is not properly placed. (If you save your compiler in the C drive, the directories must in C Drive also.
