Hello all,
I came across the following definition (or is it declaration? I
never know):
struct OFFSET_AND_SIZE
{
INT64 offset;
UINT64 size;
OFFSET_AND_SIZE (INT64 o, UINT64 s) : offset (o), size (s) {}
};
(INT64 are UINT64 are not relevant to the discussion.)
I know some C, but very little C++ so I was somewhat puzzled. Is the
function inside the struct a constructor which will assign o to
offset and s to size?
So, I would write struct OFFSET_AND_SIZE toto(666, 999); and toto's
fields would be initialized as I expect, right?
What if I write struct OFFSET_AND_SIZE toto; would the compiler
complain, or would the fields remain undefined, as in C? 2 5965

It is a constructor. structs are the classes in C++, they can have constructors.
The only difference is the access control is public by default in struct.
which will assign o to offset and s to size?
More correctly, it will initialize o and s with those values. So, I would write struct OFFSET_AND_SIZE toto(666, 999); and toto's fields would be initialized as I expect, right?
Yes.
What if I write struct OFFSET_AND_SIZE toto; would the compiler complain, or would the fields remain undefined, as in C?
It will complain. Once you declare ANY constructor, the implicit
default constructor is gone. Your class has no default constructor
so you can't initalize

I am trying to pass a connected db link into a class constructor. In
the calling module, the link opens successfully and passes the
is_resource test. If I pass the same link into a class constructor,
inside the constructor it fails the is_resource test.
I am new to php. Why is the act of passing this value fundamentally
altering it? This isn't happening with variables holding text or
numeric values. Am I missing something here?

Hello =)
I have an object which contains a method that should execute every x ms. I
can use setInterval inside the object construct like this -
self.setInterval('ObjectName.methodName()', this.pinginterval);
- but is there no way to do this without using the literal ObjectName? If I
write 'this.methodName()' I get "Line 1 Char 1: Object doesn't support this
property or method." in IE, and nothing happens in Firebird.

I recently learned that it's possible to put a constructor inside a struct.
My question is : Is it possible to do the following :
typedef struct _TRecInfo
{
_TRecInfo(int nKey, int nMode): nKey(nKey), nMode(nMode){}; //constructor
int nKey;
int nMode;

Is it in the standard that one cannot declare a member of a struct that
uses a non-default constructor? Here is my simplified code; the Matrix
class was taken from the FAQ, and works well otherwise (error checking
was removed for simplicity).

#include <vector>
const int NUM_SEASONS = 4;

Hi all,
I would like to create an instance of a struct with

The way I am used to doing this with classes:
- get a ConstructorInfo from the Type
- call Invoke()

Can one constructor of a class call another constructor of the same
class to initialize the this object?
I read in the FAQ , to the above question the following ans was given
Nope.
Let's work an example. Suppose you want your constructor Foo::Foo(char)
to call another constructor of the same class, say Foo::Foo(char,int),
in order that Foo::Foo(char,int) would help initialize the this object.

Hello everybody,
I had this problem several times now and did not yet get the reasoning
behind it. I have a class with a pointer as member variable, lets say a
float array. Furthermore, I have two constructors of which the first is
calling the second one...
Here an easy example (so don't worry about the semantics ;) )
Member variables:
float* pFeatVec;

Hi,
I am pretty new to C++, I have following doubt.
Why can't we pass an argument to constructor as pointer? As per my
knowledge referance is like const pointer.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
