I'm relatively new to C++, but have a question regarding functions and
arrays. I'm passing a relatively large array to a function several
thousand times during the course of a loop, and it seems to get bogged
down. Do the arrays previously passed to the function stay memory
resident? If not, what's causing it and what can I do to correct it?
Thanks,
Dave

"Seems"? What are the indicators? Have you timed it? If so, what tools
did you use to time? If not, go time it.

How should we know? Post your code, then we can talk.

Unless you're passing an array as a member of another object (and that
object is being passed by value), then you're not actually passing the array
at all, but rather the address of its first member. So there should be no
slowdown caused by that. And no, nothing you previously passed to any
function is cached in any way. But that doesn't matter, since as I said,
you're really only passing an address, not the whole array.
As for what's causing the slowdown, without seeing any code, it would be
hard to speculate. Perhaps it's just your loop design. Perhaps you've got
a loop inside that function as well as the loop that calls it, which is
giving you Order(n-squared) performance? No way for us to tell without
seeing the code, though.

Can someone please help, I'm trying to pass an array to a function, do some
operation on that array, then return it for further use. The errors I am
getting for the following code are, differences in levels of indirection, so
I feel it must have something to do with the way I am representing the array
in the call and the return.
Below I have commented the problem parts.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Sorry to bother you with what is probably a really

Hi,
In the attached example, I do understand that the references are not changed
if an array is passed by Val. What I do not understand is the result of line
99 (If one can find this by line number) which is the last line of the
following sub routine:
' procedure modifies elements of array and assigns
' new reference (note ByVal)
Sub FirstDouble(ByVal array As Integer())

Hi Gurus,
I need to transfer a jagged array of byte by reference to unmanaged

the unmanaged function returns I need to show the array data to the end user.
Can I do that?
How?

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:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
