Consider:
bool transmit ( const char* pch, size_t len )
{
int const val = strcmp( pch, "who_am_i" );
if ( val == 0 )
return ( true );
return ( false );
}
int main ( void )
{
std::stringstre am str;
str << "who_am_i";
size_t const sz = str.str().size( ) ; // the temporary created is
destroyed
char* ftest = new char [ sz + 1 ];
strcpy( ftest, str.str().c_str () );
std::cout << std::hex
<< static_cast<int >(ftest[0])
<< ""
<< static_cast<int >(ftest[1])
<< std::endl;
if ( transmit ( str.str().c_str (), str.str().size( )) )
{ std::cout << " success " << std::endl; }
else
{ std::cout << " failure " << std::endl; }
}
At issue:
str.str().c_str ().
If I did:
const char* ptr_me = str.str().c_str ();
The temporary returned from .str() is destroyed at the end of the full
expression, and it takes the buffer used by .c_str() with it. Not
good.
The question then becomes, where's the end of the full expression for
the case where I call the transmit function. Is that at the
terminating brace of the transmit function?
In my mind the temporary should be destroyed at the opening brace of
transmit but that doesn't appear to be the case. 2 6457

You really don't need parentheses here, you know that, right?
}
int main ( void )
'void' is also superfluous. All those things just make your code
a bit less readable.

The function call is part of the full expression. The full expression
is bound on the right by the closing parenthesis of the 'if' statement.

Hi there,
I am writing c++ for some months now. I think I know the language now, but not yet all the tricky things of stl.
For a kernel which is not using mfc I am writing a serialization. For some reasons I want to implement it on my
own.
One goal is to make it robust against version changes and corrupted files. That means, when an object cannot
be deserialized, it should be skipped. The validity of the remaining document can be verified...

I'm curious about the performance of string::c_str,
so I'm wondering how it's commonly implemented. Do
most std::string implementations just keep an extra
char allocated for the NULL termination so they can
return a pointer to their internal buffer, or are
they equally likely to create a new buffer on demand?
I know the standard doesn't require any particular
implementation, which is why I'm curious if there is
a consensus among...

If I am not mistaken I had some problems with code like this:

Problem was that c_str() used buffer shared btw instances of
std::string in that implementation. I did not find anything that

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.
