Is there a possible memory leak in my C++ file? - c++

Question

I'm using an example code given to me by another C++ coder for a project. I'm a new student of C++ language and I wondered is there a possible memory leak / bugs in this class file given to me (PlacementHead.cpp):
#include "PlacementHead.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
PlacementHead::PlacementHead(int width, int height, int gap, char* s) {
width_ = width;
height_ = height;
gap_ = gap;
size_ = (width*height)+1;
set_ = new char[size_ + 1];
from_ = new int[size_ + 1];
original_ = new char[size_ + 1];
strcpy(set_,s);
strcpy(original_,s);
}
PlacementHead::~PlacementHead() {
}
int PlacementHead::getSize() { return size_; }
int PlacementHead::getHeight() { return height_; }
int PlacementHead::getWidth() { return width_; }
int PlacementHead::getGap() { return gap_; }
// Palauttaa indeksissä i olevan suuttimen
char PlacementHead::getNozzle(int i) {
return set_[i-1];
}
// Asettaa indeksissä i olevan suuttimen
void PlacementHead::setNozzle(int i, char c) {
set_[i-1] = c;
}
// Merkitsee suuttimen poimituksi poistamalla sen listasta
void PlacementHead::markNozzle(int i, int bankPos) {
set_[i-1] = ' ';
from_[i-1] = bankPos;
}
// Palauttaa seuraavan poimimattoman suuttimen indeksin
int PlacementHead::getNextUnmarkedPos() {
for (int i=0; i<size_; i++) {
if (set_[i]!=' ') {
return i+1;
}
}
return 0;
}
// Palauttaa suuttimen alkuperäisen sijainnin pankissa
int PlacementHead::getBankPos(int i) {
return from_[i-1];
}
// Plauttaa alkuperäisen ladontapaan suutinjärjestyksen
void PlacementHead::reset() {
//for (int i=0; i<size_; i++) {
// set_[i] = original_[i];
//}
strcpy(set_,original_);
}
// Tulostusmetodi
void PlacementHead::print() {
std::cout << "ladontapaa:\n";
for (int h=height_; h>0; h--) {
for (int w=width_; w>0; w--) {
int i = ((h-1)*width_)+w;
std::cout << getNozzle(i);
}
std::cout << "\n";
}
}
PlacementHead.h:
#ifndef PLACEMENTHEAD_H
#define PLACEMENTHEAD_H
class PlacementHead {
public:
PlacementHead(int size, int rows, int gap, char* s);
~PlacementHead();
int getSize();
int getHeight();
int getWidth();
int getGap();
char getNozzle(int i);
void setNozzle(int i, char c);
void markNozzle(int i, int bankPos);
int getNextUnmarkedPos();
int getBankPos(int i);
void reset();
void print();
private:
char* set_;
int* from_;
char* original_;
int size_;
int width_;
int height_;
int gap_;
};
#endif
I notice that there is dynamic allocation of memory, but I don't see a delete anywhere...is this a problem? How could I fix this if it is a problem?
Thnx for any help!
P.S.
I noticed there is no keyword class used in this example?...Can you define a class like this?

Answer 1

It's impossible to say without seeing the class definition (the
header); if size_, etc. are something like
boost::shared_array, or std::unique_ptr, there is no leak.
If they are simply int*, there is a leak.
Of course, no C++ programmer would write this sort of code
anyway. The class would contain std::vector<int> and
std::string. Judging from what we see here, the author
doesn't know C++.

Answer 2

the code has leak . the constructor allocates the memory .Destructor or some other function have to clean that before the object gets destroyed

Answer 3

Another problem is that your code does not obey Rule of three (links here and here)
once you will write code like:
{
PlacementHead a(0,0,0,"asdsa");
PlacementHead b(0,0,0,"asdsa");
a = b; // line 1
} // here segfault
you will get segfault, in line 1, pointers will be copied from b to a, and once you will finally have destructors, pointers will be deleted twice, which is wrong. This is called shallow copy, you need deep copy, where new array will be allocated.
