Presently I have some difficulties with the following type of code which
is understandably causing a segfault:
//---- begin code ----
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class SomeClass {
private:
valarray <doublemx;
public:
SomeClass(valarray <double>& x) {mx = x;}
void func() {cout << mx[1];} // <---- Segfault here.
};
int main () {
valarray <doublex(5,10);
SomeClass foo(x);
foo.func();
return 0;
}
//---- end code ----
It will fail at runtime because, as I understand it, mx is a zero-size
valarray and hence mx[1] does not exist.
Yet (for a simple numerical code) I would like something similar to the
above to work, i.e. I'd like to pass a valarray of predefined size to
the constructor of a class to initialize a class-member valarray, say
mx, and after reference to mx's elements as mx[0], mx[1] etc. As a C++
starter I'm confused about the best way to work around the problem in
the code above. Any advice would be welcome.
Regards,
Gerard.

With the exception of using assignment instead of initialisation and some
superfluousness and extraneous whitespace, your code is fine, AFAICT.

What problem? Prove to us there is a problem, post the results of your
run, not your speculations. Step through it in a debugger. Print out
the *size* of 'mx' instead of its element. Anyway, do something, don't
just stand there.

I'm sorry? Well, thanks for the reply. As far as I can see I didn't
speculate about anything. Just to be clear: There is no problem, but I'd
like to learn how to get a certain thing done, namely:
The best way to somehow to use a valarray <doubleas an argument of a
class constructor to initialize a class member variable of type valarray
<double>.
I can't see how to do that.
That's all. I'm sorry in case that bothered you. Won't happen again.

The above has undefined behaviour. Once you enter the constructor, mx
has size 0, but you are assigning to it a valarray of size != 0, which
isn't allowed. I think you meant:
SomeClass(valarray<doubleconst& x): mx(x) {}
void func() {cout << mx[1];} // <---- Segfault here.
With that change, no segfault will happen.

Well, the bug occurs before func() is even called.

above to work, i.e. I'd like to pass a valarray of predefined size to

Just copy the valarray, rather than assigning it. If you must assign,
manually set the size first:
SomeClass(valarray <doubleconst& x) {
mx.resize(x.size());
mx = x;
}
As a general rule, avoid valarray entirely. There are far superior
maths libraries out there, such as boost::ublas or blitz++.

You said "it will fail". Any statement about the future is speculation
by definition. Don't take offence, it just is.
Then you said 'mx is a zero-size valarray'. Have you actually looked?
Have you tried running it under a debugger? Have you tried printing out
the size of the 'mx' valarray?
Just to be clear: There is no problem, but
I am sorry. No problem?
I'd like to learn how to get a certain thing done, namely:
The best way to somehow to use a valarray <doubleas an argument of a
class constructor to initialize a class member variable of type
valarray <double>.
I can't see how to do that.
But you *did* that. Aside from small things that don't matter in this
particular case, your code is [supposed to be] working.
That's all. I'm sorry in case that bothered you. Won't happen again.
Nothing bothered me. Nothing to apologise for. You made some statements
that prompted me to ask more questions. Just answer them.

Alright, it was my mistake to have forgotten about this. When I took the
code, I did the change and didn't think twice about it.
Gerard, I am sorry for having missed this particular part in your code.

Sorry, this just shows that undefined behaviour is just that, undefined,
and compiling and running is not necessarily the proof of correctness.
I still stand by the advice to step through it in a debugger.

Oops. That certainly does make a difference. Instead of checking the
standard I looked at an old document which wrongly implied that
assignment resizes.

Thank you all very much for your replies. (Including Victor's ;-) I
understand the solution involving an initializer list. For some reason
my C++ notes didn't mention this "construction" but strangle claimed
that assignment should do the job.
I also took note of Tom Widmer's remark. Probably you're right about
Blitz and others outperforming the valarray template class. Actually, I
did install Blitz on my machine, but only some time after encountering
valarray, which kept me wondering how to make my original code work.

Gerard. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
