Help please, strange behavior

i'm sorry i posted this in other groupes, and i didn't see it, and as
this group is most actif, i repost it here, and sorry for
mutliposting:

Hi,
i'm using VC6, i have this declaration:

typedef struct tagTLimite {
double Debut;
double Fin;
}Limites;

typedef struct TagElemTab {
double NivY;
bool Existe;
std::vector<Lim itesPtLimites;
}ElemTabCont;

void myfunc( )
{
......
ElemTabCont * ContNonOrd;//contour non ordone
long nbNiveau = (yhi-ylo)/stepY +1 ;
ContNonOrd = new ElemTabCont [nbNiveau];
......
}
i don't know why,nbNiveau is equal to (yhi-ylo)/stepY, it didn't
+1????and even if i put:
ContNonOrd = new ElemTabCont [nbNiveau+1]; the size of ContNonOrd =
nbNiveau????

What value do you get in 'nbNiveau'? What did you expect
>yhi, ylo, stepY are doubles values: 16, 0, 0.1 respectively
I get 160 in nbNiveau, and I need 161.
double isn't precise either. Note that 0.1 in binary is a periodic
number that cannot be represented exactly. So instead of 0.1, you
get the closest representable value. As a result, you might get
something like 160.99999999998 , which gets truncated to 160 when
converted to long.
but if 160.999999998 is truncated to 160, 159.99999998 must be
truncated to 159.....

Yes... And?

when i just put long nbNiveau = (yhi-ylo)/stepY. i get nbNiveau = 160
not 159

How did you tell? Probably you misinterpret some output that we do not see
because your code snippet is incomplete.
and even if i put: ContNonOrd = new ElemTabCont [nbNiveau+1]; the size of

Again, how did you tell?

Please post a minimal complete program that shows the problem. With the code
fragments from above, there is no way to tell what the problem is
(especially since we do not even know the types of yhi, yhl, and stepY.

>That last statement is beyond me. What do you mean by "the size of
ContNotOrd"? How the hell can you know the size? How can it be
different from the size you requested?
i just verify in watch window ContNotOrd[160].

I don't know how you do that, but tell me, if you do

int main() {
long nbNiveau = 160;
char *ContNotOrd = new char[nbNiveau + 1];
}

and "verify in watch window", do you get 160 or 161 _elements_? Do
not tell me the last index (it is less by 1 than the size, right?)

when i give a value to ContNotOrd[161] i have a crash,
That's not surprising. If nbNiveau is 160, then you allocate an array with
161 elements, numbered 0 to 160. So if you try to access the element with
index 161, you are going past the end of your array.
and 160 no.....for my example i check the vector of the 160 elem, when
there is no pb it contain _First = 0 _Last = 0 _End = 0.
Feb 14 '07 #13
when i just put long nbNiveau = (yhi-ylo)/stepY. i get nbNiveau = 160
not 159
i was wrong it's 159...........

and if i use float, is there pbs with the precision???

i know this, but my pb is that i need that nbNiveau = 161, and i get
160, i was sure that when the value is betwwen 160.51 and
160.99999999, in long the compilator will replace it with 160

Well, that's not the case. In C++, when converting a floating point value
into an integer, the fractional part is always truncated.
