char* string substract function throws exception

Tag: c++,arrays,string,char

I'm working on my own string class called PString, I have this function that finds a specific character, like 6, and now I have this function called substr short fo substract, where I want to substract from 0 to [insertnumber]. the way I'm trying to call this is by doing this:

PString string;
int to = 0;
string = "A string = a string"; // lol
string.find('=', to);
string.substr(to);

My find function is fine and works 100%, but my substr function doens't work. Here is my substr function:

void PString::substr(int to) {
    char* temp = new char[255];
    temp = this->c_str();
    for (int i = 0; i < to; i++) {
        temp[i] = ' ';
    }
}

this->c_str() just returns the current string the object is holding, this is to prevent failure, but I cannot get past the first for loop, temp[i] = ' ' just throws a exception and I'm completely clueless as to why.

Oh and yes, I know my function isn't deleting temp and more stuff, but this just hasn't been implemented as I'm trying to get the for loop to work first.

Edit fixed by makign a few more functions (makign a new PString from a already created PString) Also used memcpy instead of just doing a simple equals operator

Best How To :

The first obvious mistake you're doing here is this:

char* temp = new char[255];
temp = this->c_str();

You allocate memory then you're copying the value of a pointer. So first you're getting a memory leak and second depending on your implementation of c_str() you are copying the address of something you're not supposed to change (std::string's c_str() returns const char*).

This is because the actual implementation of a std::string doesn't require a heap-allocated array actually and some implementations actually store a small array internally for short strings.

So if you actually want to make a new string, the best thing to do would be to copy the memory instead:

char* temp = new char[this->size()];
memcpy(temp,this->c_str(),this->size()) //I assume 8-bit string, change if you use widechars

Then you return a new string using temp to initialize it.

opencv window not refreshing at mouse callback

c++,opencv

your code works for me. But you used cv::waitKey(0) which means that the program waits there until you press a keyboard key. So try pressing a key after drawing, or use cv::waitKey(30) instead. If this doesnt help you, please add some std::cout in your callback function to verify it is...

Having two arrays in variable php

php,mysql,arrays,variables,multidimensional-array

The explode function is being used correctly, so your problem is further up. Either $data[$i] = mysql_result($result,$i,"data"); isn't returning the expected string "2015-06-04" from the database OR your function $data[$i] = data_eng_to_it_($data[$i]); isn't returning the expected string "04 June 2015" So test further up by echo / var_dump after both...

Translating a character array into a integer string in C++

c++,arrays,string

If you want a sequence of int, then use a vector<int>. Using the key_char string, the values of the chars in it will serve as the initial value of the ints. std::vector<int> key_num(key_char.begin(), key_char.end()); Then, iterate over each character of key_num and convert it to the equivalent int value for...

Ruby: How to copy the multidimensional array in new array?

dup does not create a deep copy, it copies only the outermost object. From that docs: Produces a shallow copy of obj—the instance variables of obj are copied, but not the objects they reference. dup copies the tainted state of obj. If you are not sure how deep your object...

Comparing arrays with numbers in vb.net

There are a few basic ways of checking for a value in an integer array. The first is to manually search by looping through each value in the array, which may be what you want if you need to do complicated comparisons. Second is the .Contains() method. It is simpler...

create vector of objects on the stack ? (c++)

c++,vector,heap-memory

Yes, those objects still exist and you must delete them. Alternatively you could use std::vector<std::unique_ptr<myObject>> instead, so that your objects are deleted automatically. Or you could just not use dynamic allocation as it is more expensive and error-prone. Also note that you are misusing reserve. You either want to use...

Speaking as someone who's had to do exactly what you're talking about a number of time, rr got it basically right, but I would change the emphasis a little. For file versioning, text is basically the winner. Since you're using an hdf5 library, I assume both serializing and parsing are...
