C/C++ Pointer to a POD struct also points to the 1st struct member

自作多情 提交于 2020-12-21 03:57:55
问题 Can I assume that a C/C++ struct pointer will always point to the first member? Example 1: typedef struct { unsigned char array_a[2]; unsigned char array_b[5]; }test; //.. test var; //.. In the above example will &var always point to array_a? Also in the above example is it possible to cast the pointer to an unsigned char pointer and access each byte separately? Example 2: function((unsigned char *)&var,sizeof(test)); //... //... void function(unsigned char *array, int len){ int i; for( i=0;

UNIX C send() errno 14

早过忘川 提交于 2020-12-15 06:51:35
问题 I have this code: void caller() { char buffer[20][20]; int sd; ... send(sd, buffer[7], 5, 0); } Now I have this code: void funct(int sd, char **buffer) { send(sd, buffer[7], 5, 0); } void caller() { char buffer[20][20]; int sd; ... funct(sd, buffer); } To simplify suppose that instead of ... I have an initialization of socket UDP and connection with the server to use send instead of sendto. I don't understand why the second code generates on send an error and errno is set with value 14, but

Slice element not updated in go

问题 I have an account struct as below: type Account struct { Id string Name string Address string City string Email string Phone string Username string Password string IsActive bool } I also have two function: find and update . The find function find certain element from the slice and return the pointer to the element: func find(accounts []Account, username string) *Account { for _, acc := range accounts { if acc.IsActive && acc.Username == username { return &acc } } return nil } The update

Cast array of pointers to derived class to array of pointers to base class

问题 Here is some code that illustrates the question: #include <iostream> class Base { }; class Derived : public Base { }; void doThings(Base* bases[], int length) { for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i) std::cout << "Do ALL the things\n"; } int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { Derived* arrayOfDerived[2] = { new Derived(), new Derived() }; doThings(arrayOfDerived, 2); // Candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'Derived *[2]' to 'Base **' for 1st argument // Attempts to work out the

Are different pointers considered to be different data types?

问题 In order to have better understanding of pointers, I'd like to have this cleared up. Different data types require different pointers, like char* or int* . Are all these pointers considered to be different data types or are they just the same data type? 回答1: Yes, they are different data types, as they point to different types of data. In other words, their usage and properties varies (example: same pointer arithmetic on different pointer type will yield different result) and they have

What exactly is a reference in C#

元气小坏坏 提交于 2020-12-11 04:29:20
问题 From what I understand by now, I can say that a reference in C# is a kind of pointer to an object which has reference count and knows about the type compatibility. My question is not about how a value type is different than a reference type, but more about how a reference is implemented. I have read this post about what differences are between references and pointers, but that does not cover that much about what a reference is but it it's describing more it's properties compared with a
