CX0030: Error: Expression cannot be evaluated - c++

I cannot modify the member values of a class object because of the above error:
When I call my initialize function to initialize my "garo" object, I receive the following run-time error,

The Calling Code
Garo *garo;
// ...

This is where I receive the run-time error. I'm using Allegro libraries, so feel free to ask about any weird types you may see. I am stilling learning C++, so please help me to understand in rudimentary terms.

You need to instantiate an object instance to operate on. For example:
garo = new Garo();
By missing this out you are trying to invoke methods on an uninitialized variable. You should probably consider using some form of smart pointer to ensure that the object is destroyed.

C++ Private Memeber Variable Inaccessible to Memeber Function

I am working on recreating pong, and while moving drawPaddle function from the main Game class to the Paddle class I ran into an issue where the function cannot read the member variables (even though they are in the same class). The class is in a header file and the function definitions are in a cpp file. The variables in question are height, width, xPos, and yPos.
Paddle class
#include "Graphics.h"
class Paddle
{
public:
void setX(int z)
{
xPos = z;
}
int getX()
{
return xPos;
}
void setY(int z)
{
yPos = z;
}
int getY()
{
return yPos;
}
int getWidth() {
return width;
}
void setHeight(int z)
{
height = z;
}
int getHeight()
{
return height;
}
void setPlayer(bool z)
{
player = z;
}
bool getPlayer()
{
return player;
}
private:
//functions
void drawPaddle(Graphics& gfx);
void updatePaddle(Graphics& gfx);
//variables
int xPos;
int yPos = Graphics::ScreenHeight / 2 - Paddle::height / 2;
bool player;
static constexpr int width = 20;
int height = 100;
};
drawPaddle function
#include "Paddle.h"
#include "Graphics.h"
void drawPaddle(Graphics gfx)
{
for (int i = 0; i < width; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < Paddle::height; j++)
{
gfx.PutPixel(p.getX() + i, p.getY() + j, Colors::White);
}
}
}
As you can see I've tried accessing it with the raw variable (tells me the variable is undefined), through the class (tells me the variable is inaccessible), and using the getter for it (failed because it must be in reference to a specific instance). Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
In the definition, you didn't indicate that drawPaddle was a member of Paddle, so it was treating that definition as a definition of a free function, not a member function. Free functions wouldn't have access to the private members.
It should start with
void Paddle::drawPaddle(Graphics gfx)

Error: No matching function for call to Monster::Monster()

Please, help!
The problem is
Monster monsters[4]; // ---> Means initiliaze 4 Monsters with a ctor which takes no arguments(eg default Ctor)
Player player; ---> //The initiliaze 1 Player with a ctor which take no arguments
Since you defined Monster(int xPos, int yPos); default Ctors are deleted. You have to define them yourself. Entity has the same problem. I compiled your code , if you do like below it will work.
Add "Entity() = default;" , initiliaze x and y like below,
class Entity {
protected:
int x = 0; --> Critical
int y = 0; --> Critical
char sign;
public:
Entity() = default; --> Critical
Entity(int xPos, int yPos);
int getX();
int getY();
void move(int xPos, int yPos);
char getSign();
};
Do the same for player and monster
class Monster : public Entity {
private:
char sign = 'M';
public:
Monster(int xPos, int yPos);
Monster() = default; --> Critical
void moveTowards(Entity p);
};
class Player : public Entity {
private:
char sign = 'P';
public:
Player() = default; --> Critical
Player(int xPos, int yPos);
};
You should add a default constructor to your Monster class because it's implicitly called when the Monster array is initialized. If you don't want to do that for some reason, you could change the Monster array contain raw or smart pointers to Monster objects.

My object is being destructed right after being constructed

I'm trying to construct a two-dimensional boolean array with a class I've created called Grid. The Grid object is a private member class of another class called GameOfLife. Whenever I create a GameOfLife object with the parameters belove, the Grid object first gets created with the default constructor, then it gets created again with the constructor with parameters, and then for some reason Grid's deconstructor runs and deletes everything ? I'm really out of ideas :p I'm running MinGW GCC on Eclipse Luna.

}
Change the implementation to:
GameOfLife::GameOfLife(int y, int x, bool state) : board(y, x, state) {}
Similarly, change the default constructor to:
GameOfLife::GameOfLife() {}
The more important problem that needs to be fixed is that you are breaking The Rule of Three.
You need to add proper implementations of the copy constructor and the copy assignment opertor in Grid.
The other, and better, option is to change the internal data of Grid to
std::vector<std::vector<bool>> oldGeneration;
std::vector<std::vector<bool>> newGeneration;
Then, the compiler generated copy constructor and copy assignment operator will be good enough.

C++ Undefined reference to destructor?

I'm trying to code a game with Allegro 4 and I've hit a weird bump. The linker is claiming an undefined reference to the destructor in two of my classes, but I've done nothing with it. What could be the issue? Here is my code:
Entity.h:
#pragma once
#include <allegro.h>
struct Rectangle
{
int x;
int y;
int w;
int h;
};
typedef enum {
FACE,
POOP
} EntityType;
class Entity
{
private:
EntityType m_EntityType;
BITMAP *m_Sprite;
int m_Score;
int m_X;
int m_Y;
Rectangle *m_Hitbox;
public:
Entity();
virtual ~Entity() {destroy_bitmap(m_Sprite);}
BITMAP *GetSprite() {return m_Sprite;}
int GetScore() {return m_Score;}
int GetX() {return m_X;}
int GetY() {return m_Y;}
Rectangle GetHitbox() {return *m_Hitbox;}
void SetSprite(EntityType type);
void SetScore(int value) {m_Score = value;}
void SetX(int value) {m_X = value;}
void SetY(int value) {m_Y = value;}
void SetHitbox(EntityType type);
};
Entity.cpp:
#include "Entity.h"

{
if (type == FACE)
m_Sprite = load_bitmap("face.bmp", NULL);
else if (type == POOP)
m_Sprite = load_bitmap("poop.bmp", NULL);
}
void Entity::SetHitbox(EntityType type)
{
if (type == FACE)
{
GetHitbox().x = m_X;
GetHitbox().y = m_Y;
GetHitbox().w = m_X + 32;
GetHitbox().h = m_Y + 32;
}
else if (type == POOP)
{
GetHitbox().x = m_X;
GetHitbox().y = m_Y;
GetHitbox().w = m_X + 16;

Improper updation in C++, Allegro

LeftCollision in CheckCollision() goes true, when ever Object1 collides with Object2(square which is scrolling from right to left of screen) left side. But in the GameObject::Update()
Leftcollision never updates to True, though it changes to true in the CheckCollision section!!
What i want is, whenever the LeftCollision is true, Update should stop, until it becomes false again!!
Below is the code for Header file and CPP file!!
The problem is with LeftCollision updation!! Why is the value not reflected in the Update if condition!!

Is this part of your problem - returning without setting the value
else
{
return false;
LeftCollision = false;
}
The only thing that jumps to mind is that you've got more than one object going around and you're not always using the one you expect. Try putting something like:
printf("here(%s:%d) this=%p\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, this);
at the start of each method to make sure that the this point is what you think it is. The problem may lie in the calling code that you haven't shown.
