Copying object from a superclass pointer - c++

Suppose I have two classes a base class and an inherited class as follows:
class Magic : public Attack
{
public:
Magic(int uID, std::string &name) : Attack(ActionType::MagicAction, uID, name)
{
}
};
class MacroMagic : public Magic
{
MacroMagic(int uID) : Magic(uID, std::string("Testing"))
{
}
void PreUse() override
{
std::cout << "Test" << std::endl;
}
}
I have a shared_ptr to an instance of magic that I would like to copy, but at runtime I will not know whether that pointer points to an instance of Magic, MacroMagic or anything that may have inherited from Magic. I want to be able to copy the object pointed to by the shared_ptr like so:
Battles::magic_ptr mgPtr = MagicNameMap[name];
if (mgPtr.get() != nullptr)
{
return magic_ptr(new Magic(*mgPtr));
}
return mgPtr;
where magic_ptr is a typedef for a shared_ptr around the Magic Class. I could do it by specifying a virtual copy function and calling that, but I'd like to make it less obtuse and easier to maintain. I assume I can do this by a copy constructor, but I'm unsure how to in this instance. The way I have it now, the pointer returned by the above code will not call the override pReUse() function.
A bit of guidance would be much appreciated, thanks

you're working against the language.
you could accomplish what you are after, but i don't recommend it, and it is certainly not easier to setup or maintain than virtual Magic* clone() = 0.
perhaps you could outline the problem that brought you to this conclusion, and then we can help from there. there are usually alternatives which don't fight the language.
EDIT
here's a way around it using an external function table (t_magic_operation_table). you can apply and create several function tables and keep them around. since they exist in the magic object as a single pointer, then you can make these tables quite large (if needed). if your magic types can use the same data/members, then that is one approach. be careful: i threw this together suuuper-fast. it demonstrates the technique, but it's pretty bad otherwise:

another option is to simply create stores (e.g. a vector), each with a different magic type. then fill a vector to point to objects in those stores. that way, you can just create one contiguous allocation for each type and randomize and weigh as needed. this is useful if your magic objects' sizes vary considerably.

Why doesn't the pointer write the address of the class?

I have an abstract class "Mark" and it has a child class "Int_num". I also have a "Subject" class. I want a pointer to the address in the memory of the "Mark" class to be written to the "mark" parameter when calling its constructor. What should I do to make the mark pointer point to the "Mark" class?" occurred, after the compiler complaint about "expression must have class type" or something like that in mark.print_mark()?
class Mark {
private:
int mark;
public:
virtual void change_mark(int);
virtual void print_mark();
virtual int return_mark();
};
class Int_mark : public Mark {
private:
int mark;

void change_mark(int = 0);
void print_mark() const;
int return_mark() const;
};
Int_mark::Int_mark() {
std::string str_mark;
std::cout << "New mark: ";
std::cin.ignore();
std::getline(std::cin, str_mark);
str_mark = ltrim(rtrim(str_mark));
int new_mark;
try {
new_mark = stoi(str_mark);
} catch(...) {
std::cout <<"wq";
mark = 1;
return ;
}
try {
if((new_mark < 1) || (new_mark > 5))
throw 1;
else
mark = new_mark;
} catch(int a) {
std::cout << "qw" << std::endl;
mark = 1;
}
}
void Int_mark::print_mark() const {
std::cout << "Mark: " << mark << std::endl;
}
Subject
#include "Mark.h"
#include <string>
#include <vector>
class Subject {

unsigned hour_subject = 0;

public:

void change_mark(bool);

std::cout << "Введите название предмета: ";
getline(std::cin, name_sub);
name_sub = split_string(name_sub);
name_subject = name_sub;
int select = 2;
if(select == 1) {
type_subject = "Bool";
//mark = new Bool_mark();
} else {
type_subject = "Int";
mark = new Int_mark();
//What should I do to make the mark pointer point to the "Mark" class?
mark.print_mark();
}
}
main
#include "subject/Subject.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
Subject q;
}
What am I doing wrong? How should I do this?
The pointer mark is of type void *. You could cast it with
static_cast<Int_mark*>(mark)
and call the function with
static_cast<Int_mark*>(mark)->print_mark();
But usually in OOP mark would be a pointer to the base class
Mark *mark = nullptr;
Now you can check for errors with
mark = new Int_mark();
auto *m = dynamic_cast<Int_mark*>(mark);
if (m)
m->print_mark();
Remember the virtual destructor in the base class
virtual ~Mark();
When to use virtual destructors?
Here is a fixed version of your code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
class Mark {
public:
virtual ~Mark() = default;
//virtual void change_mark(int) = 0;
virtual void print_mark() const = 0;
//virtual int return_mark() const = 0;
};
class Int_mark : public Mark {
private:
int mark;
public:
Int_mark();
Int_mark(int);
~Int_mark() override = default;
//void change_mark(int = 0) override;
void print_mark() const override;
//int return_mark() const override;
};
Int_mark::Int_mark() {
std::string str_mark;
std::cout << "New mark: ";
std::cin.ignore();
std::getline(std::cin, str_mark);
//str_mark = ltrim(rtrim(str_mark));
int new_mark;
try {
new_mark = stoi(str_mark);
} catch(...) {
std::cout <<"wq";
mark = 1;
return ;
}
try {
if((new_mark < 1) || (new_mark > 5))
throw 1;
else
mark = new_mark;
} catch(int a) {
std::cout << "qw" << std::endl;
mark = 1;
}
}
void Int_mark::print_mark() const {
std::cout << "Mark: " << mark << std::endl;
}
class Subject {
private:
std::string name_subject;
std::string type_subject;
unsigned hour_subject = 0;
Mark *mark = nullptr;
public:
Subject();
Subject(std::string, int);
Subject(std::string, bool);
~Subject();
void change_mark(unsigned);
void change_mark(bool);
void rename_subj(std::string);
void add_hour(unsigned);
};
Subject::Subject() {
std::string name_sub;
std::cout << "Введите название предмета: ";
getline(std::cin, name_sub);
//name_sub = split_string(name_sub);
name_subject = name_sub;
int select = 2;
if(select == 1) {
type_subject = "Bool";
//mark = new Bool_mark();
} else {
type_subject = "Int";
mark = new Int_mark();
auto *m = dynamic_cast<Int_mark*>(mark);
if (m)
m->print_mark();
}
}
Subject::~Subject() {
delete mark;
}
int main() {
Subject q;
}
Since I did not correctly understand the question in the first place, here a way how you can call the member function of base class Mark by object of derived class Int_Mark:
Int_mark *mark = new Int_mark();
mark->print_mark(); // calls member of the class Int_mark
mark->Mark::print_mark(); // calls member of the class Mark
Make sure that Mark::print_mark() is also defined and not just Int_mark::print_mark()

How can I define a std::vector of type Space which is an abstract class and then fill this vector with instances of the derived classes Empty, Snake, Ladder.
Context
I know abstract classes in C++ can not be instantiated. Instead I've read in several posts on this and other sites that you can create a collection of an abstract type if it the type is defined as a star * pointer or any of the <memory> managed pointer data types like std::unqiue_ptr<T>. I've tried to used shared_ptr<Space> in my case, but still unable to define the collection properly. I am compiled my code using g++ -std=c++17 main.cpp && ./a.out.

You seem to have removed a lot of code to get into details here.
Have a Space pointer (smart or raw). Instantiate the specific space that you want, point to it with your pointer of type Space. Example std::shared_ptr<Space> pointerToSpace = std::make_shared<Snake> ("I'm a snake"); Now, without loss of generality, you can print the contents (of concrete type) with just the pointer to the space pointerToSpace->class_type(). Yes, you can have a collection of shared_ptrs in a container.

C++ enums with attributes like C#

I have the following C# Code which I need to convert into C++ code. I have searched for a bit on how to do C++ Enums with Attributes and can not figure it out.
Basically I need a way to represent the following simplified C# Code in C++ which would do enums with attributes.
C# Code:
public class PSMNameAttribute : Attribute
{
public string PSMName;
public PSMNameAttribute(string _PSMName) { PSMName = _PSMName; }
}
public class PSMNumberAttribute : Attribute
{
public string PSMNumber;
public PSMNumberAttribute(string _PSMNumber) { PSMNumber = _PSMNumber; }
}
public class PSMNumberNameAttribute : Attribute
{
public string PSMNumberName;
public PSMNumberNameAttribute(string _PSMNumberName) { PSMNumberName = _PSMNumberName; }
}
public enum ShippingMethodsTypes
{
[PSMName("ErrorScriptMed")]
[PSMNumber("-5")]
[PSMNumberName("-5 ErrorScriptMed")]
ErrorScriptMed = -5
,
[PSMName("SpecialHandling")]
[PSMNumber("-1")]
[PSMNumberName("-1 SpecialHandling")]
SpecialHandling = -1
,
[PSMName("Error")]
[PSMNumber("0")]
[PSMNumberName("0 Error")]
Error = 0
}
Could this be done like this:
enum Category{
unknown = -1, meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetable,fruit, grain, sweet
};
typedef struct {
float calories; // calories
float carbonhydrates; // grams
float fat; // grams
float cholesterol; // grams
float sodium; // grams
float protein; // grams
Category category ;
}Food;
and if so how would I call the struct values using the enum?
boost::variant and a few visitors should solve it nicely:
#include <boost/variant.hpp>
#include <iostream>
struct get_number : boost::static_visitor<int> {
template<class Method> int operator()(const Method& m) const { return number(m); }
};
struct get_name : boost::static_visitor<std::string> {
template<class Method> const std::string operator()(const Method& m) const { return name(m); }
};
struct ShippingMethodMed {};
static constexpr int number(ShippingMethodMed) { return -5; }
static std::string name(ShippingMethodMed) { return "ErrorScriptMedMed"; }
struct ShippingMethodSpecialHandling { };
static constexpr int number(ShippingMethodSpecialHandling) { return -10; }
static std::string name(ShippingMethodSpecialHandling) { return "SpecialHandling"; }
struct ShippingMethodError {};
static constexpr int number(ShippingMethodError) { return 0; }
static std::string name(ShippingMethodError) { return "Error"; }
using ShippingMethod = boost::variant<ShippingMethodMed, ShippingMethodSpecialHandling, ShippingMethodError>;
int number(ShippingMethod const& sm) {
return boost::apply_visitor(get_number(), sm);
}
std::string name(ShippingMethod const& sm) {
return boost::apply_visitor(get_name(), sm);
}
std::string number_name(ShippingMethod const& sm) {
return std::to_string(number(sm)) + " " + name(sm);
}
int main()
{
ShippingMethod m = ShippingMethodError();
std::cout << number(m) << std::endl;
std::cout << name(m) << std::endl;
std::cout << number_name(m) << std::endl;
m = ShippingMethodSpecialHandling();
std::cout << number(m) << std::endl;
std::cout << name(m) << std::endl;
std::cout << number_name(m) << std::endl;

This is not possible with enums alone.
However I think you could solve this by maintaining a string array/vector/map or a combination of those to your enum like:
enum test
{
first = 0,
second, // = 1
// etc...
};
const char* attributes[] =
{
"first attribute",
"second attribute",
};
then you could retrieve this attribute through
const char* firstattribute = attributes[test::first];

Policy based design - policy implementation has to access members of the host class

I think the best way to explain my question is with a piece of code:
class IncreasingMultiplier {
protected:
IncreasingMultiplier(int initialMultiplier = 0, int incrementation = 1)
int getMultiplier() {
mCurrentMultiplier += mIncrementation;
return mCurrentMultiplier - mIncrementation;
}
void setMultiplier(int multiplier) {
mCurrentMultiplier = multiplier;
}
void setIncrementation(int incrementation) {
mIncrementation = incrementation;
}
private:
int mCurrentMultiplier;
int mIncrementation;`
}
class ConstMultiplier {
protected:
int getMultiplier() const {
return 10;
}
}
class NumberLogger {
public:
void log() {
int currentNumber = getNumber(); // How can I call this method?
std::cout << "Current number is " << currentNumber << std::endl;
}
}
template<
class MultiplierPolicy,
class LoggingPolicy
>
class Host : public MultiplierPolicy, public LoggingPolicy {
public:
int getNumber() const {
return mNumber * getMultiplier();
}
private:
int mNumber;
}
Basically, one policy may need to access members defined in the host class, which are in turn dependent on other policies supplied to the host class.
Thanks!
The following code compiles with VS2013 (have not tried with GCC):
#include <iostream>
class IncreasingMultiplier {
protected:
IncreasingMultiplier(int initialMultiplier = 0, int incrementation = 1)
: mCurrentMultiplier(initialMultiplier)
, mIncrementation(incrementation)
{}
int getMultiplier() {
mCurrentMultiplier += mIncrementation;
return mCurrentMultiplier - mIncrementation;
}
void setMultiplier(int multiplier) {
mCurrentMultiplier = multiplier;
}
void setIncrementation(int incrementation) {
mIncrementation = incrementation;
}
private:
int mCurrentMultiplier;
int mIncrementation;
};
class ConstMultiplier {
protected:
int getMultiplier() const {
return 10;
}
};
// Template the logger policy
// Unfortunately - couldn't get host inheritance CRTP pattern
// compiling in Visual Studio 2013 :(
// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring_template_pattern
template < typename t_Host >
class NumberLogger /*: public t_Host*/ {
public:
void log() {
// This part of the CRTP pattern does work in Visual Studio 2013
int currentNumber = static_cast<t_Host*>(this)->getNumber(); // How can I call this method?
std::cout << "Current number is " << currentNumber << std::endl;
}
};
// Template based on a list of policies
template<
typename PoliciesList
>
class Host : public PoliciesList::MultiplierPolicy, public PoliciesList::LoggingPolicy {
public:
Host() : mNumber(1) {}
int getNumber() /*const*/ {
return mNumber * getMultiplier();
}
private:
int mNumber;
};
// Un-templated policies list
// Could create a macro to declare various policy combinations:
class ConcretePoliciesList_Const
{
public:
typedef Host<ConcretePoliciesList_Const> MyHost;
typedef ConstMultiplier MultiplierPolicy;
typedef NumberLogger<MyHost> LoggingPolicy;
};
class ConcretePoliciesList_Increasing
{
public:
typedef Host<ConcretePoliciesList_Increasing> MyHost;
typedef IncreasingMultiplier MultiplierPolicy;
typedef NumberLogger<MyHost> LoggingPolicy;
};
int main()
{
ConcretePoliciesList_Const::MyHost const_host;
ConcretePoliciesList_Increasing::MyHost increasing_host;
std::cout << "Const policy:" << std::endl;
const_host.log();
const_host.log();
const_host.log();
std::cout << "Increasing policy:" << std::endl;
increasing_host.log();
increasing_host.log();
increasing_host.log();
return 0;
}
The resulting output is:
Const policy:
Current number is 10
Current number is 10
Current number is 10
Increasing policy
Current number is 0
Current number is 1
Current number is 2

in base class, how to define a container to contain function obj which can be any func of derived class?

I want to define a container in the base class, which contains function obj or anything that can make my purpose happen. These function obj can call derived classes' functions. they all take same parameters.
#include <vector>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
class Foo {
Foo() {}
virtual ~Foo(){}
virtual void init()
{ registerCallback(0, &Foo::print_ori ); }
void print_ori(int i) const { std::cout << i << '\n'; }
void registerCallback(int key, ??? cb ) // NOT SURE HOW TO DEFINE THIS
{
callbacks[key] = cb;
}
void runCallbacks(int key, int n)
{
auto i = callbacks.find(key);
if (i != callbacks.end()) {
(*i)(*this, n);
}
}
std::map<int, std::function<void(const Foo&, int) > > callbacks; // obviously, it's wrong. how to fix it?
};
struct Foo2 : public Foo {
Foo2(int num) : Foo(num) {}
virtual void init()
{
Foo::init();
registerCallback(11, &Foo2::print1 );
registerCallback(12, &Foo2::print2 );
}
void print1(int i) const { std::cout << " - Foo2.p1 - " << i << endl; }
void print2(int i) const { std::cout << " - Foo2.p2 - " << i << endl; }
};
int main()
{
Foo* obj = new Foo2();
obj->init();
obj->runCallbacks(12, 456);
}
Here's a way to achieve what your code looks like it's trying to do, without using function pointers:
class Foo {
Foo() {}
virtual ~Foo(){}
void print_ori(int i) const { std::cout << i << '\n'; }
virtual void do_runCallbacks(int v)
{
}
void runCallbacks()
{
print_ori(3)
do_runCallBacks(3);
}
};
struct Foo2 : public Foo {
Foo2(int num) : Foo(num) {}
void do_runcallbacks(int v)
{
print1(v);
print2(v);
}
void print1(int i) const { std::cout << " - Foo2.p1 - " << i << endl; }
void print2(int i) const { std::cout << " - Foo2.p2 - " << i << endl; }
};
int main()
{
Foo* obj = new Foo2();
obj->runCallbacks();
}
Now, there may well be reasons to do this completely differently, but I don't see why you should need both virtual functions and inheritance, AND function objects/function pointers. That seems quite wrong to me ("smells bad")
Edit:
Here's something I came up with, that solves the type of problem you describe after edits of the original question.
