I am building a class which is like a tree of sorts. Each node can
hold numerous subnodes of itself. I have some constructors such as:
Node(string name, int value);
Node(string name, string value);
I would also like the following AddNode methods:
AddNode(Node &node);
AddNode(string name, int value);
AddNode(string name, string value);
The AddNode where another node is passed works fine. However, the ones
where new values are passed doesn't when set up as such:
AddNode(string name, int value)
{
Node add(name, value);
elements.push_b ack(add);
return &elements[elements.size() - 1];
}
I know it's because the instance of the new Node is temporary, but is
there a way to keep it around for future use?

Hi,
Could you please elaborate the error that you get and the code snippet
for the method that works for you. If my guess is correct, "elements"
seems to be a vector of "Nodes". If that is the case, push backs on
the vector will invalidate the address that you are returning when the
vector gets resized.
Regards
SJ

As SJ pointed out, if elements is a container then it will contain a
copy of the object you push back, not the object itself, so the fact
that it's temporary is irrelevant. And instead of using
elements[elements.size() - 1] you can use elements.back() .

Thanks for the input. The returned pointer is more for use for
continual nesting so that its easy to add continually nested elements.
I've decided to cut it down to just AddNode(Node&) because as far as
I'm aware of, if you call AddNode(Node(na me, value)), it doesn't
matter because the compiler will optimize it so that its constructed
right in the method. Also, is there a way to force
node.AddNode(No de(name, value)) to go to that definition and not have
to rewrite an AddNode(Node) method?

Make it AddNode(const Node&).

Hello list...
I'm developing an adventure game in Python (which of course is lots of
fun). One of the features is the ability to save games and restore the
saves later. I'm using the pickle module to implement this. Capturing
current program state and neatly replacing it later is proving to be
trickier than I first imagined, so I'm here to ask for a little
direction from wiser minds than mine!

Hi,
I would like to double check how long a temporary returned by a function
lives?
Suppose I have an instance of a class type C, which has a member function
returning some sort of wrapper-decorator by value - thereby creating an
unnamed temporary. Assuming I start using the temporary (by calling its
members) in the same expression, can I assume that it will live long enough
to serve those calls?

I have a function which gets the adress of an object as argument.
It does some comparsion with the object's contents and then returns.
no Reference or pointer to the object is stored or will be used after
the function has returned.
Say the function whould be named f and the objects class whould be T
it'll look like this:
bool f(T* thing) {
return thing->foobar == 5; // Just a stupid example
