Push back

[{AGUT2} {H}-IWIK]

Hi!

I'm implementing a new method of data input for my program using the
push_back(int) function.

When I compile my code (Borland free compiler), I get:

"Could not find a match for 'vector<facetinfo, allocator<facetinfo>

::push_back(int)' in function main()"

Am I missing something?

TIA

#include <stdlib>
#include <math>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::ifstream;
using std::string;
using namespace std; //I don't need the previous lines, right?

struct facetInfo {
double v1x;
double v1y;
double v1z;
double v2x;
double v2y;
double v2z;
double v3x;
double v3y;
double v3z;
double nox;
double noy;
double noz;
}; // Semicolon necessary
int main()
{
char fileName[255];
cout << "Enter the name of the input *.STL file (including extension): ";
cin >> fileName;
ifstream inf(fileName);
cout << fileName;
char buffer[128];
char * ehWhy;
int vertNum=1;
int facetNum=0;
int normFlag=0;
int vertFlag=0;
int compFlag=0;
double holder;
string ncheck = "normal";
string vcheck = "vertex";

// 10234 facets
vector<facetInfo> mySurface;
while(!inf.getline(buffer, 128, ' ').eof())
{
if (buffer == ncheck)
{
normFlag=1;
compFlag=1;
vertNum=1;
if (facetNum !=0)
{
mySurface.push_back(facetNum);
}
...... etc
}
}

A vector of facetInfo does not have a push_back(int) function, it has a
push_back(facetInfo).

The previous 2 headers don't exist in C++. You need to add either a 'c'
on the front or a '.h' on the back of each.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::ifstream;
using std::string;
using namespace std; //I don't need the previous lines, right?
The 'using namespace std' covers the previous using lines. It's
generally better not to bring in the entire namespace, though.

struct facetInfo {
double v1x;
double v1y;
double v1z;
double v2x;
double v2y;
double v2z;
double v3x;
double v3y;
double v3z;
double nox;
double noy;
double noz;
}; // Semicolon necessary
Looks like you could break that up a little more... if you had a Point
class or something like that:

struct facetInfo {
Point v1;
Point v2;
Point v3;
Point no;
};

Or

Strict facetInfo {
Point v[3];
Point no;
};

Could make it much simpler to deal with.


int main()
{
char fileName[255];
You #included <string>. Why not use it? This is an ideal place.

string fileName;
cout << "Enter the name of the input *.STL file (including
extension): ";
cin >> fileName;
ifstream inf(fileName);
ifstream inf(fileName.c_str());

You also need to check that it opened successfully.
cout << fileName;
char buffer[128];
string buffer;

Or

vector<char> buffer;

Or

vector<char> buffer(128);

might be better, depending on how you intend to use it.

(In fact, scanning ahead it looks like you should definitely use 'string
buffer'.)
char * ehWhy;
int vertNum=1;
int facetNum=0;
OK...
int normFlag=0;
int vertFlag=0;
int compFlag=0;
double holder;
string ncheck = "normal";
string vcheck = "vertex";
It kind of looks like you want these to be constants. If so, declare
them const.

// 10234 facets
vector<facetInfo> mySurface;
OK...
while(!inf.getline(buffer, 128, ' ').eof())
A few problems here. One, don't test for eof. There are other ways file
input can fail - you should check for general failure. Two, use
std::getline instead of std::istream::getline. It reads into a string
instead of a char array, and automatically resizes the string:

while (getline(inf, buffer, ' '))
{
if (buffer == ncheck)
{
normFlag=1;
compFlag=1;
vertNum=1;
if (facetNum !=0)
{
mySurface.push_back(facetNum);
Not OK. facetNum is an int. mySurface contains facetInfos, not ints.
}
...... etc
}
}

Thank you _so_ much!

The previous 2 headers don't exist in C++. You need to add either a 'c'
on the front or a '.h' on the back of each.

I understand that .h headers stopped being used with the ratified C++ - I
take it that the cmath and cstdlib are the new templates(headers??) that
replace them?

Thanks,

Alex.

Not quite. There are still 18 headers taken from C that end in '.h'
(including <math.h> and <stdlib.h>), but they are deprecated in favor of
version that drop the '.h' and add a 'c' to the front (e.g., <cmath> &
<cstdlib>.

They are headers, not templates.

Hello,

This should be cstdlib and cmath instead.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;

That's right.
struct facetInfo {
double v1x;
double v1y;
double v1z;
double v2x;
double v2y;
double v2z;
double v3x;
double v3y;
double v3z;

double noy;
double noz;
}; // Semicolon necessary
int main()
{
char fileName[255];
cout << "Enter the name of the input *.STL file (including extension): ";
cin >> fileName;
ifstream inf(fileName);
cout << fileName;
char buffer[128];
char * ehWhy;
int vertNum=1;
int facetNum=0;
int normFlag=0;
int vertFlag=0;
int compFlag=0;
double holder;
string ncheck = "normal";
string vcheck = "vertex";

// 10234 facets
vector<facetInfo> mySurface;
while(!inf.getline(buffer, 128, ' ').eof())
{
if (buffer == ncheck)
{
normFlag=1;
compFlag=1;
vertNum=1;
if (facetNum !=0)
{
mySurface.push_back(facetNum);
Not possible. You declared mySurface to be a vector consisting of
facetInfo, so push_back should receive an instance of this class. You
are giving it an int here.
}
...... etc
}
}

Have a nice day,

They are the new headers.
One thing

cmath and cstdlib are such that you will need using clauses unlike math.h
and stdlib.h
