Hi,
I have a problem with structures that lose their content when I pass
them to a function.
Here are the structures
typedef struct VERTEX
{
int id; /* id of this vertex */
float x, y, z; /* vertex coordinates */
float u, v; /* texture coordinates */
float r, g, b; /* rgb colour of the vertex */
float normal[3]; /* x y z values of the normal */
}vertex;
typedef struct FACE
{
int vertices[3];/* list of vertices corresponding to this face */
CVector normal; /* x y z values of the normal */
}face;
typedef struct OBJECT3D
{
vertex *vertices; /* hold the vertices of the object3D */
face *faces; /* hold the faces of the object3D */
int vcnt; /* number of vertices of the object3D */
int fcnt; /* number of faces of the object3D */
CVector center; /* center of the object - used for bounding box
*/
float width; /* max width of the object -used for bounding box */
void ComputeBB(); /* compute the bounding box of the object */
}object3D;
typedef struct WORLD3D
{
int numObjects; /* number of objects in the world */
vector<object3D > m_objList; /* list of objects in the world */
}world3D;
And there I create my objects and I add them to a vector
object3D myObject;
memset(&myObjec t, 0, sizeof(object3D ));
g_world.numObje cts ++;
myObject.vcnt = 8;
myObject.vertic es = new vertex[myObject.vcnt];
myObject.vertic es = vertices;
myObject.fcnt = 10;
myObject.faces = new face[myObject.fcnt];
myObject.faces = faces;
g_world.m_objLi st.push_back(my Object);
I've checked with the debugger and g_world contains everything ok. The
problem is there:
m_octree->BuildRootNode( &g_world, m_city->GetNumPoly() ,
m_octree->GetCenter(), m_octree->GetSize());
In BuildRootNode(. ..) g_world doesn't contain the value of vertices
and faces any more. I believe it's related to the way I pass it to the
function, but I'm not too sure about that.
Thanx for any help.

What is this? Why do you assign to vertices twice? What is the veritices
variable?
I think you probably meant something like this
myObject.vertic es = new vertex[myObject.vcnt];
for (int i = 0; i < myObject.vcnt; ++i)
myObject.vertic es[i] = vertices[i]; myObject.fcnt = 10; myObject.faces = new face[myObject.fcnt]; myObject.faces = faces;
Some problem again. g_world.m_objLi st.push_back(my Object);
You've already used vectors elsewhere in your code, so why didn't you use
them for vertices and faces? As you've seen using pointers and dynamic
memory is tricky. Consider doing this instead
struct OBJECT3D
{
vector<vertex> vertices; /* hold the vertices of the object3D */
vector<face> faces; /* hold the faces of the object3D */
CVector center; /* center of the object - used for bounding box */
float width; /* max width of the object -used for bounding box */
void ComputeBB(); /* compute the bounding box of the object */
};

If thats not enough then you haven't posted enough relevent code.

Also don't use CVector, why use two different vector classes in the same
program, isn't that just confusing? Stick to vector, it is by far the best
alternative.

From the code, I think that OP CVector is a mathematical vector with 3 float
components, implementing some maths operations like dot product etc. So it
cannot be replaced with std::vector.
Anyway, I wonder why he hadn't used it for VERTEX position or normal.

I wrote a program to make sure that new would throw a bad_alloc
exception if more memory was requested than was available. On my
system, new allocates up to 2931 MBs of memory (I don't have that
much, not even with swap) before throwing an exception. When the
program tries to fill in the allocated memory with data, it is killed
after using up the available memory.
Does anyone know why the exception is not being thrown until well

I know about the fact GC collects memory but not necessary give it back to

It seems that .NET win app will only return memory to the OS when the OS is
asking for it. But!!! When the OS is asking for it is usually too late, tons
of swapping and slow performance.

Hi all,
I need to know, what is the difference between dynamic memory
allocation, and stack allocation ?
1. If I have a class named DestinationAddress, when should I use
dynamic memory allocation to create object of that class ?
2. If it says "dynamic memory allocation", is it mean the
following code :
DestinationAddress* dest = new DestinationAddress(); // code 1

I've tried to write the *simplest* memory allocator possible. I think it

If I have malloc()'ed a pointer and want to read from it as if it were
an array, I need to know that I won't be reading past the last index.
If this is a pointer to a pointer, a common technique seems to be
setting a NULL pointer to the end of the list, and here we know that
the allocated memory has been exhausted. All good.
When this is a pointer to another type, say int, I could have a
variable that records how much memory is being...
