Array problem

[jojojoris]

I have some strange problems.

Code: Select all

game::game() {
    notenames[1] = "A";
    notenames[2] = "A#";
    notenames[3] = "B";
    notenames[4] = "C";
    notenames[5] = "C#";
    notenames[6] = "D";
    notenames[7] = "D#";
    notenames[8] = "E";
    notenames[9] = "F";
    notenames[10] = "F#";
    notenames[11] = "G";
    notenames[12] = "G#";
    running = true;
}

bool game::run() {    
    while (running) {        
        pspDebugScreenSetXY(0,0);
        pspDebugScreenPrintf("-%s-",notenames[2]);
        for&#40;short i=0;i<5;i++&#41;sceDisplayWaitVblankStart&#40;&#41;;
    &#125;
    return true;
&#125;

and in the main:

Code: Select all

game GG;
GG.run();

The output has strange behaviour.
The output is:

Code: Select all

-(null)-

And the background had a b=green/blue collor. I always tought that the background collor should be black by default.

Now my question:
What did i do wrong?
I want the output:

Code: Select all

what is the type of notename ? String ?
where is the new of the class game?
before your constructor has been called is must been instancied by a new no ?

ooo

Sorry i forget to tell

its a char *

lets say notenames is an array of (char *)

[sauron_le_noir]

why not using string in your c++ program string type is a object type
char * are pointer used just for compatibility with C

to use your string on operating function like the DebugPrintf just use the c_str() function provide by C++.

With string the compiler can at compile time perform a lot of checks.
on pointer ... it's at runtime and you can have lot of memory leaks ;)

At this site you've got a tuto to write a c++ program on psp

When i use the string type my program crashes and it when i use psp-addr2line is said:

Code: Select all

C:\projects\PSPGuitarHelper>psp-addr2line -e pspgg.elf 0x00002EA0
x:/workspace/minpspw/psp/build/gcc-4.3.3/psp/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/basic_string.h:316

I found out that when i use memset it all works well.

Code: Select all

game::game() {
    memset(notenames,0,18);
    notenames[1] = (char*)"A";
    notenames[2] = (char*)"A#";
    notenames[3] = (char*)"B";
    notenames[4] = (char*)"C";
    notenames[5] = (char*)"C#";
    notenames[6] = (char*)"D";
    notenames[7] = (char*)"D#";
    notenames[8] = (char*)"E";
    notenames[9] = (char*)"F";
    notenames[10] = (char*)"F#";
    notenames[11] = (char*)"G";
    notenames[12] = (char*)"G#";
    running = true;
}

Your site looks usefull. I''m new at object orientating proramming.

variable not initialized = memory leak = fatal error
for the string it is strange i have no problem with it i use list,arrary etc ...
do you have the last toolchain ? and the last gcc ?

Are you compiling under windows -> if yes using the heimdall implementation
of the cygwin one if under linux witch gcc has compile the cross compiler
psp-gcc , is the version of psp-gcc (GCC) -->4.3.2
