Marker Slide Any General Questions ? Next up – Making friends and overloading functions in your classes (FriendCritter) – Dynamically Allocating Memory – Memory Leaks – Using new and delete [] with arrays – Classes and Dynamic Memory – Allocation Summary – More on Classes Constructors and Destructors with Dynamic Memory Overloading Constructors (copy constructor) Overloading the Assignment Operator Graded In-Class Activity: HeapDataMember
6
Friend Functions and Overloading Operators Friend functions – have complete access to any member data of a class Operator Overloading – allows you to define new meanings – for built-in operators – as they relate to objects of your own class

Looking at FriendCritter //Friend Critter //Demonstrates friend functions and operator overloading #include using namespace std; class Critter { //make the following global functions friends of the Critter class friend void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter); public: Critter(const string& name = ""); // default name to empty string private: string m_Name; }; Note the source code here would typically be put into a header file named: FriendCritter.h as it declares the interface to the FriendCritter class
9
Looking at FriendCritter //Friend Critter //Demonstrates friend functions and operator overloading #include using namespace std; class Critter { //make the following global functions friends of the Critter class friend void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter); public: Critter(const string& name = ""); // default name to empty string private: string m_Name; }; Peek is identified here as being a global friend function that returns nothing and takes a constant reference to aCritter
10
Looking at FriendCritter //Friend Critter //Demonstrates friend functions and operator overloading #include using namespace std; class Critter { //make the following global functions friends of the Critter class friend void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter); public: Critter(const string& name = ""); // default name to empty string private: string m_Name; }; Here the operator<< is being identified as friend of the Critter class Which means we will have to provide a definition of it that can process the Critter class This is called overloading the operator Note the source code here would typically be put into a header file named: FriendCritter.h as it declares the interface to the FriendCritter class
11
Looking at FriendCritter Critter::Critter(const string& name): m_Name(name) { // m_Name = name; // is already done in the line above // via ": m_Name(name)" } //global friend function which can access all of Critter object's members //overloads the << operator so you can send a Critter object to cout ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter) { os << "Critter Object - "; os << "m_Name: " << aCritter.m_Name; return os; } The source code here would typically be put into a definition file named: FriendCritter.cpp The code here defines and IMPLEMENTS the interface to the FriendCritter class
12
Critter::Critter(const string& name): m_Name(name) { // m_Name = name; // is already done in the line above // via ": m_Name(name)" } //global friend function which can access all of Critter object's members //overloads the << operator so you can send a Critter object to cout ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter) { os << "Critter Object - "; os << "m_Name: " << aCritter.m_Name; return os; } Looking at FriendCritter This is a clever way to initialize variables outside the body of the constructor. It comes in useful from time to time.
13
Critter::Critter(const string& name): m_Name(name) { // m_Name = name; // is already done in the line above // via ": m_Name(name)" } //global friend function which can access all of Critter object's members //overloads the << operator so you can send a Critter object to cout ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter) { os << "Critter Object - "; os << "m_Name: " << aCritter.m_Name; return os; } Looking at FriendCritter Here we are “overloading” the operator<< because we are adding to the “load” of types the operator can handle i.e. it now must process data of type: class Critter in addition to all the other types So its potential work “load” has increased
14
Critter::Critter(const string& name): m_Name(name) { // m_Name = name; // is already done in the line above // via ": m_Name(name)" } //global friend function which can access all of Critter object's members //overloads the << operator so you can send a Critter object to cout ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter) { os << "Critter Object - "; os << "m_Name: " << aCritter.m_Name; return os; } Looking at FriendCritter Normally you do NOT want to put additional information into the output generated by operator<< So this line typically would NOT be here - typically only want to output just the member data of the class
15
Critter::Critter(const string& name): m_Name(name) { // m_Name = name; // is already done in the line above // via ": m_Name(name)" } //global friend function which can access all of Critter object's members //overloads the << operator so you can send a Critter object to cout ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Critter& aCritter) { os << "Critter Object - "; os << "m_Name: " << aCritter.m_Name; return os; } Looking at FriendCritter Because operator<< is a friend of the FriendCritter class it can use the “dot” notation access member data
16
Looking at FriendCritter void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); int main() { Critter crit("Poochie"); cout << "Calling Peek() to access crit's private data member, m_Name: \n"; Peek(crit); cout << "\nSending crit object to cout with the << operator:\n"; cout << crit; return 0; } //global friend function which can access all of a Critter object's members void Peek(const Critter& aCritter) { cout << aCritter.m_Name << endl; } The source code here would typically be put into whatever file holds the main() function Perhaps named FriendCritterTester.cpp This code usually is where the class is used. The global friend function Peek is also shown here. Functions such as this would more often be found in the file: FriendCritter.cpp file As that would group all functions definitions related to the class FriendCritter in one file It is placed here to show there are options.
17
Looking at FriendCritter void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); int main() { Critter crit("Poochie"); cout << "Calling Peek() to access crit's private data member, m_Name: \n"; Peek(crit); cout << "\nSending crit object to cout with the << operator:\n"; cout << crit; return 0; } // global friend function which can access all of a Critter object's members void Peek(const Critter& aCritter) { cout << aCritter.m_Name << endl; } Declare and Instantiate a Critter named Poochie
18
Looking at FriendCritter void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); int main() { Critter crit("Poochie"); cout << "Calling Peek() to access crit's private data member, m_Name: \n"; Peek(crit); cout << "\nSending crit object to cout with the << operator:\n"; cout << crit; return 0; } // global friend function which can access all of a Critter object's members void Peek(const Critter& aCritter) { cout << aCritter.m_Name << endl; } Call the global function Peek
19
Looking at FriendCritter void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); int main() { Critter crit("Poochie"); cout << "Calling Peek() to access crit's private data member, m_Name: \n"; Peek(crit); cout << "\nSending crit object to cout with the << operator:\n"; cout << crit; return 0; } // global friend function which can access all of a Critter object's members void Peek(const Critter& aCritter) { cout << aCritter.m_Name << endl; } Make use of the overloaded operator<<
20
Looking at FriendCritter void Peek(const Critter& aCritter); int main() { Critter crit("Poochie"); cout << "Calling Peek() to access crit's private data member, m_Name: \n"; Peek(crit); cout << "\nSending crit object to cout with the << operator:\n"; cout << crit; return 0; } // global friend function which can access all of a Critter object's members void Peek(const Critter& aCritter) { cout << aCritter.m_Name << endl; } Because Peek is a friend of FriendCritter it can access member data of the class via the “dot” notation

22
Memory Allocation Most variables you use have their memory “pre-allocated” – Well before the program is run – And each variable takes up the same space every run – This defines static memory allocation – These variables are allocated on “the stack”
23
Why dynamically allocate? Efficiency. – You use only the amount of memory you need at any time – You need 100 enemies at the beginning of the level? Allocate them when the level loads Deallocate when the level completes No need to keep them around for the whole game – Extra bonus You can create an object in one function that you can access after that function ends
24
Dynamic Memory Allocation What to know – Use new to allocate Allocates memory on the Heap (aka Free Store) – Use delete or delete [] to de-allocate – For arrays keep track of how much you allocate You will have a variable pointing at the first array element – int *myArray = new int[10]; You will need to know where the array ends – myArray[0] is the first element – myArray[9] is the last (0, 1, 2, …9 ten elements)

25
Using new for Variable Allocation Example (for illustration of new w.r.t. dynamic arrays) int main() { char *strPtr = NULL; // a pointer to a string, init to point at NULL string inputStr; // an std::string for keyboard input // get a string from the keyboard cout << “Please enter a word and press enter” << endl; cin >> inputStr; // Want to copy inputStr into strPtr, Alloc memory first strPtr = new char[ inputStr.length() + 1]; // +1 for the ‘\0’ at end // Use a for loop to copy it for (int i=0; i < inputStr.length(); i++) strPtr[i] = inputStr.at(i); strPtr[ inputStr.length() ] = ‘\0’; // null terminate the char string delete [] strPtr; // Free the memory we allocated return 0; // 0 for success (some progs return EXIT_SUCCESS) }
26
The Heap Program The program you are about to look at – Dynamically allocates memory on the heap (free store) for an integer value assigns it a value displays it – Then calls a function which also dynamically allocates memory for an integer variable assigns it a value returns a pointer to it – The main function then uses the pointer to display the second value – Memory for both variables is then deallocated and the program ends
27
Class Activity: Heap Program Enter and run the following program // Heap // Demonstrates dynamically allocating memory #include using namespace std; int* intOnHeap(); //returns an int on the heap int main() { int* pHeap = new int; *pHeap = 10; cout << "*pHeap: " << *pHeap << "\n\n"; int* pHeap2 = intOnHeap(); cout << "*pHeap2: " << *pHeap2 << "\n\n"; cout << "Freeing memory pointed to by pHeap.\n\n"; delete pHeap; cout << "Freeing memory pointed to by pHeap2.\n\n"; delete pHeap2; // get rid of dangling pointers pHeap = 0; pHeap2 = 0; return 0; } int* intOnHeap() { int* pTemp = new int(20); return pTemp; }

Memory Leaks Having the power to allocate memory – Means you – Have the responsibility to de-allocate it – Failure to de-allocate memory causes memory leaks And Bad things happen You wouldn’t want bad things to happen – Would you?
44
Memory Leaks Having the power to allocate memory – Means you – Have the responsibility to de-allocate it – Failure to de-allocate memory causes memory leaks And Bad things happen You wouldn’t want bad things to happen – Would you?
45
Example Leak Adding and calling the below function to the Heap program just discussed would cause a memory leak – So do NOT do this void leak1() { int* drip1 = new int(30); } Allocates memory Function ends Pointer to the allocated memory is gone But the allocated memory remains With no way to deallocate it BAD, VERY BAD
46
Example Leak Adding and calling the below function to the Heap program just discussed would cause a memory leak – So do NOT do this void leak2() { int* drip2 = new int(50); drip2 = new int(100); delete drip2; } Allocates memory and assigns to a pointer – OK Allocates more memory, assigns to same pointer but does NOT free the first memory allocated BAD VERY BAD Does deallocate the second allocation, so that’s good But the first allocation again now no way to free that memory

Other Leaks There are MANY, MANY ways to cause memory leaks One rule can prevent them all – Every time there is a new There must be a delete Follow that rule and it will prevent many bad things

Arrays: new and delete [] To dynamically allocate an array you need to use square brackets in both the new line and the delete line The rule: – If you see a line with new and square brackets – Then the delete that goes with it must have square brackets too Examples follow on next slide

Classes and New and Delete You can have pointers to classes – and use new and delete with them – just as with any other type New and Delete inside Classes – Classes typically allocate memory for member variables in the class’s constructor for use while the instantiated object of the class exists – When the object goes out of scope, or is explicitly deleted itself The class’s destructor deallocates the memory that was allocated in the constructor using delete – More on this shortly

More Fun with Classes There still remain several things to be discovered about classes, such as – destructors – copy constructors – overloaded assignment operator= We will do a little review of things you have already seen – establish context – and move into more new stuff
77
A Basic Class: A Place to Start // example: one class, two objects #include using namespace std; class CRectangle { int x, y; // default to private public: void set_values (int,int); int area () {return (x*y);} }; void CRectangle::set_values (int a, int b) { x = a; y = b; } int main () { CRectangle rect, rectb; rect.set_values (3,4); rectb.set_values (5,6); cout << "rect area: " << rect.area() << endl; cout << "rectb area: " << rectb.area() << endl; return 0; } rect area: 12 rectb area: 30 Main point: No Constructor, No Destructor Forces call to set_values to initialize stuff No fancy slides setup for this one Does show some change-up options in how you write/format things
78
Constructor // example: class constructor #include using namespace std; class CRectangle { int width, height; public: CRectangle (int,int); int area () {return (width*height);} }; CRectangle::CRectangle (int a, int b) { width = a; height = b; } int main () { CRectangle rect (3,4); CRectangle rectb (5,6); cout << "rect area: " << rect.area() << endl; cout << "rectb area: " << rectb.area() << endl; return 0; } rect area: 12 rectb area: 30 Main point: Have a Constructor Stuff gets “auto” initialized
79

Important Constructor to Overload The COPY constructor is one you almost always want to overload – This handles cases where you send a class object to a function via pass-by-value – C++ gives you an “implicit” copy constructor if you do not create one But it does not always (rarely) works the way you want or need it to – Especially when using pointers

Important Operator to Overload The Assignment Operator is one you almost always want to overload – operator= – This handles cases where you set one variable equal to another myClass A(1,2); myClass B(6,7) A = B cout << A; // expect 6 and 7 to be printed out – C++ gives you an “implicit” assignment operator if you do not create one But it does not always (rarely) works the way you want or need it to
94
Overloading operator= For this example we will overload the assignment operator as a member function – you can make the operator a friend function also – but this is the “other way” Some code has been omitted, to focus on the important parts =) int main() { MyClass c1, c2; c1 = c2; // assigns c2 to c1 } The Goal is to be able to do this
