pointers to class

Hi to all,
I have a abstract class
class A
{
public:
void fn()=0;
//other functions
}
one derive class

Now I need to make one more class B, which will derive from A....here I will implement one function of A...and I need to declare a pointer to class B and pass it to a function called fun2().....How to do that?

Please help me out....

I have a abstract class
class A
{
public:
void fn1()=0;
//other functions
};

I have another class B

class B : public A
{
void fn1()
{
}
};

in class B I have implement one function of A ie fn1... I need to declare a pointer to class B and pass it to some other function called funMain() in main function.....something like

B *ptr;
funMain(ptr);

My doubt::
Should I write B *ptr or
B *ptr = new B();

Are meaning about the need of allocation?

if u dont have member variables in class B or class A then you can write
B* ptr = 0;
funMain(ptr);
else
you have use to allocate it
B *ptr = new B();

of course you've to initialize the pointer (i.e. create an instance of the class)
and then call the function, for instance:

B * ptr;
ptr = new B();
funMain(ptr);

BTW what has it to do with abstract classes?

This is not allowed without the virtual keyword.
It should be virtual void fn()=0;

RAII / RIIA best-practices question about std::vector

So one of my (many) recent questions ellicited a link to Resource Acquisition Is Initialization[^]. The wikipedia entry made sense and it seemed like, in general, this structure would be a good idea.

So now I'm using std::vector for the first time since my RAII introduction, and I recall that vector<> leaks unless I call vector<>.clear() when I'm done with the vector.

Does that mean, considering RAII, that whenever I want to use std::vector the best-practice method would be to write a specialized container class that calls .clear() in the destructor and exposes all the std::vector methods?

Now that I think of it, the container could be written as a template class.... but I'm going to let the question stand, since I'm just learning about RAII...

Is this an exception to the rule, or would a container class be best?

A thousand praises to all those who exhibit patience with the noob!

You recall incorrectly Smile | :)

vector deallocates and calls the destructor of each contained object when it's destructed.

No - just use vector.

All STL container classes are (minus trivial bugs) intended to have that behaviour, i.e. they destruct the contained elements and deallocate their storage when destructed.

That I wasted the last 4 hours trying to stop this from leaking:

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	_CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF );
	vector<char *> vc;
	vc.push_back("test");
	_CrtDumpMemoryLeaks();
	return 0;
}<hr>Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\vc7\include\crtdbg.h(689) : {44} normal block at 0x008A0FF0, 4 bytes long.
 Data: <  C > A0 A5 43 00 
Object dump complete.
The program '[7368] ConTest.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

When all I needed was a $#^$#&-ing pair of braces...

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	_CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF );
	{
		vector&lt;char *&gt; vc;
		vc.push_back("test");
	}
	_CrtDumpMemoryLeaks();
	return 0;
}

I just love learning curves, don't you?

Thank you for your help, Stuart!

...thanks to you, I wasted 4 hours instead of 5 or 6 Poke tongue | ;-P

Re: Fair 'nuff, but, if vector deallocates, can you see why this leaks:

Stuart Dootson9-Jul-09 2:25

9-Jul-09 2:25

Ummmm - the vector hasn't been destructed when you call _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks...
Try this:

#include <iostream>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <vector>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	_CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF );

	{
		vector<char *> vc;
		vc.push_back("test");
	}

	_CrtDumpMemoryLeaks();

	return 0;
}

How to read 'MODIFY' File/Folder permission

sumd9-Jul-09 0:06

Hello All,

I have a query regarding File/Folder permissions.

I have a folder on which a particular user don’t have ‘MODIFY’ permission.
I want to read programmatically whether the particular user has the ‘MODIFY’ permission on that folder on not.

Currently I am using following code.

res = _waccess( L"E:\\3D Library\\Temp.txt”, 06 );
Temp.txt is a file in the Folder on which user dont have 'MODIFY' access rights.

This is returning the same value for all users irrespective of the MODIFY permission.
I wanted to use ‘GetFileAttributes(…)’ but I don’t understand how to use it to read ‘MODIFY’ permission.

My query is:
How read the ‘MODIFY’ permission?

Please help.

Thanks,

To query and set we can use
GetFileAttributes and SetFileAttributes respectively.

dwAttrs = GetFileAttributes(FileData.cFileName);
if (!(dwAttrs & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY))
{
SetFileAttributes(szNewPath,
dwAttrs | FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY);
}

For user permission on particular folder try this

Check User’s Permissions On A File or Folder[^]

Thanks For the response.

I can check the read access using this method.
But I want to specifically check the "MODIFY' access.

Is there any way to check the "MODIFY" access.

Thanks...

if you want to check whether you have MODIFY permission on a folder then call GetFileAttributesEx API

check whether FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY is not set, else you can write and delete, that means, you can modify. Smile | :)

This information is incorrect. A file can have the read-only attribute not set, but if write permission has been denied, you will not be able to modify it.

Attributes are not the same as permissions, so GetFileAttributes() is not going to do you any good. You'll need to query the file's ACL. Check out GetFileSD(), GetSecurityDescriptorDacl(), GetAclInformation(), and GetAce().

As per the MSDN it should like below:-

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
if(NULL != cs.hMenu )
{
::DestroyMenu(cs.hMenu); // delete menu if loaded
cs.hMenu = NULL; // no menu for this window
}

return TRUE;
}
