guess you have two classes (A and B) and you have two objects (C1 and
C2) of a class C that is defined as
class C: public A, public B
can I *somehow* swap B of C1 and B of C2? To make myself clearer:
class C1 and C2 both have some area in memory that holds their B-Part
- i guess there must be somewhere in class C1 and C2 a kind of pointer
to that baseclasses. Eg. if you do a (B*) this inside C1 you get it.
What i want to do is swap the pointers.
Is that somehow possible?
thx in advance, .rhavin;)

Most implementations will not hold pointers to the base class objects but
instead aggregate them into one large object -- therefore it is not even
theoretically possible to do what you want.

I think perhaps you misread what the OP wrote although it's not very
clear when he first refers to C1 as an object and then as a class; I'm
assuming C1 and C2 really are objects, of class C.
Only the OP would now. I thought the OP wanted to specifically swap
pointers to the base class objects and not the actual content since it
seems obvious that you can swap the content.
std::swap( *static_cast<B* >(C1), *static_cast<B* >(C2) );
should probably read
std::swap( *static_cast<B* >(&C1), *static_cast<B* >(&C2) );

Hello, I am having some problems with inheritance. The compiler does
not not return any error messages, but when I execute the program, it
only allows me to enter the number, but nothing else happend. I think
the problem may be in my input function or in the main function.
If anyone out there can help me it woul be greatly appreciated.
Here is the code:

I've been bitten twice now by the same bug, and so I thought I would
draw it to people's attention to try to save others the problems I've
had. The bug arises when you copy code from a destructor to use
elsewhere.
For example, suppose you have a class Note. This class stores some
text, as a linked list of lines of text. The destructor runs as
follows:
Note::~Note() {

...during the call to swap_arrays the name of the array decays to a
pointer to its first element and that pointer is a temporary variable
and you cant bind a non-const reference to a temporary. Correct
analysis?
The code (that only compiles if you comment out the call to
swap_arrays()):
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
using namespace std;

Hello,
It is said that if I implement a "swap" member function, then it
should never throw any exception. However, if I implement "swap" non-
member function, then the restriction doesn't apply. Can somebody tell
me why?
Thanks,

Hi there,
I am a newbee. searched intensively for a quite simple problem but couldnt find an answer. Here is my problem:
I have two layers with 2 movie clips. The movie clip on layer 1 stays static, the movie clip on layer 2 fades in on a few frames, thus I crossfade from clip 1 to clip 2 (actually it is a bit more complicated what I am trying to do). At the end of the fade, i would like to replace the movie clip on layer 1 with the movie...

I have std::vector<Base *bases;
I'd like to do something like:
std::for_each(bases.begin(), bases.end(), operator delete);
Is it possible without writing an adapter? Is there a better way? Is
there an existing adapter?
Thanks,

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
