object is getting scrambled, but why? plz help!

[brulsmurf]

Ok iam despered, in Main of this code the object 'two' is looking as
should be when i print it, but the exact same code in procedure
"duTest" makes the object
filled up with additional strange values. I played with this code for
hours but i cant find the problem. Plz help me
#include "genetic.h"
#include "neuron.h"
#include "network.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void duTest()
{
DNA one(0);
UniversalNeuron two;

one.addAllel(4);
one.addAllel(4);
one.addAllel(1);
one.addAllel(3);
one.addAllel(3); //filling up one.

two.insertDNA(one);
two.show(); // Why dont it work??
}

int main()
{
int dummie;
DNA one(0);
UniversalNeuron two;

one.addAllel(4); // filling up one.
one.addAllel(4);
one.addAllel(1);
one.addAllel(3);
one.addAllel(3);

cout << "\nHere duTest routine\n";
duTest(); // doesnt work <-- inside here two gets filled
//with the right values, but also with some strange values

two.insertDNA(one); // works
two.show(); // ^^ <--this works fine,two is not
//filled with strange values

scanf("%d",&dummie); // press key..
return(1);
}
////// paste from other file VV
class UniversalNeuron
{
public: //
UniversalNeuron();
UniversalNeuron(int nS ,int gS, int dS, int daS);//
~UniversalNeuron();
UniversalNeuron(UniversalNeuron const &other);
void operator=(UniversalNeuron const &other);
void insertDNA(DNA &d); // <-- maybe interesting for
// solving problem ???
void show();

etc etc

Neither of these are standard headers, and you haven't posted them.

| #include <iostream>
| #include <algorithm>
| #include <string>
|
| using namespace std;

Please don't do that.

| void duTest()
| {
| DNA one(0);

Unknown identifier DNA.

| UniversalNeuron two;

I'll assume UniversalNeuron is a class because you said so further down.

| one.addAllel(4);
| one.addAllel(4);
| one.addAllel(1);
| one.addAllel(3);
| one.addAllel(3); //filling up one.

What does addAllel do?

| two.insertDNA(one);

What does insertDNA do?

| two.show(); // Why dont it work??

How should I know why it doesn't work, when you haven't posted any
relevant code.

| }
|
| int main()
| {
| int dummie;
| DNA one(0);
| UniversalNeuron two;
|
| one.addAllel(4); // filling up one.
| one.addAllel(4);
| one.addAllel(1);
| one.addAllel(3);
| one.addAllel(3);
|
| cout << "\nHere duTest routine\n";
| duTest(); // doesnt work <-- inside here two gets filled

|
| two.insertDNA(one); // works
| two.show(); // ^^ <--this works fine,two is not
| //filled with strange values
|
| scanf("%d",&dummie); // press key..

You haven't #included any header for scanf.

| return(1);

Consider returning EXIT_SUCCESS or 0.

| }
|
|
| ////// paste from other file VV
| class UniversalNeuron
| {
| public: //
| UniversalNeuron();
| UniversalNeuron(int nS ,int gS, int dS, int daS);//
| ~UniversalNeuron();
| UniversalNeuron(UniversalNeuron const &other);
| void operator=(UniversalNeuron const &other);
| void insertDNA(DNA &d); // <-- maybe interesting for
| // solving problem ???

Maybe.

| void show();
|
| etc etc

Please post a minimal example that reproduces the error, and we might be
able to help you.

two is neither declared nor defined in that code. Neither have you posted
any of the class methods that are possible causes of this problem. If
you're not using pointers anywhere, I'm guessing that one of your variables
isn't initialized properly.

I will try to make an minimal example that does the same and post that
one,
All Tnxs for your effort and advice ^^

Why all that complicated memory management?
You already have a dynamic growing array at your finger
tips, just use it!

class DNA
{
public:

...

int karma; // opzoeken.
// no longer needed int size;
std::vector< int > dnaString;
};

and your addAllel() function shrinks down to:

void DNA::addAllel(int a)
{
dnaString.push_back( a );
}

and that's the benefit:
* it works out of the box
* you don't need a custom copy constructor any
longer (same for: destructor, assignment operator)
* it will be at or very near the same speed then your home-
made dynamic array. But most likely it will be faster then
your home made array
* lots of complicated and error prone code vanishes into thin air.
* Did I already mention, that std::vector works out of the box?
