1 QUIZ Can you find 5 errors in this code?

2 QUIZ What (if anything) is wrong with this code? public: ; int Constructor argument need!

3 QUIZ What is meant by saying that a variable hides another?

4 I.e. have the same name as Watch out for local variables that hide variables from the enclosing scope. In general, using the same name for a nested variable and a variable that is global to that scope is confusing and error-prone.

5 QUIZ Only one of these programs compiles successfully which one and why?

6 QUIZ Only one of these programs compiles successfully which one and why?

7 QUIZ Will the program compile now? Why?

8 Solution Yes, b/c if the class has no constructors, the compiler will create (synthesize) a default one. What is the first rule about using default constructors?

9 Although the compiler will create a default constructor for you, the behavior of the compilersynthesized constructor is rarely what you want. You should treat this feature as a safety net, but use it sparingly. In general, you should define your constructors explicitly and not allow the compiler to do it for you.

10 Ch. 7: Function Overloading & Default Arguments

11 Most [procedural] programming languages require that you have a unique identifier for each function. If you have three different types of data that you want to print: int, char, and float, you generally have to create three different function names, for example, print_int( ), print_char( ), and print_float( ). This loads extra work on you as you write the program, and on readers as they try to understand it.

12 In C++, another factor forces the overloading of function names: the constructor. Because the constructor s name is predetermined by the name of the class, it would seem that there can be only one constructor. But what if you want to create an object in more than one way?

13 For example, suppose you build a class that can initialize itself in a standard way and also by reading information from a file. You need two constructors, one that takes no arguments (the default constructor) and one that takes a string as an argument, which is the name of the file to initialize the object. Both are constructors, so they must have the same name: the name of the class. Overloading example

17 More name decoration

18 More name decoration

19 More name decoration There is no standard for the way names must be decorated by the compiler, so you will see very different results from one compiler to another. example

20 This is what I found in the assembly code generated by MSVS 2010:

21

22 Overloading on return values? This works fine when the compiler can unequivocally determine the meaning from the context, as in int x = f( );

23 However, in C you ve always been able to call a function and ignore the return value (that is, you can call the function for its side effects). In this example, we re using getchar only to stop the program execution, but we re not interested in the actual key that was pressed.

24

25 If there were overloaded versions of the function that differed only in the return value, how could the compiler distinguish which call is meant in this case?

26 Possibly worse is the difficulty the reader has in knowing which function call is meant. Overloading solely on return value is a bit too subtle, and thus isn t allowed in C++.

27 Languages that do not allow overloading only on return values C++, Java, C# Languages that do allow overloading only on return values Haskell, ADA, Perl

28 Type-safe linkage In one file is the definition for a function. In the second file, the function is redeclared (misdeclared!) and then called. The compilation is successful, b/c each file is compiled separately.

29 In C, the linker would also be successful, but not in C++. Because the compiler decorates the names, the definition becomes something like f_int, whereas the use of the function is f_char. When the linker tries to resolve the reference to f_char, it can only find f_int, and it gives you an error message. This is type-safe linkage.

30 The section unions was assigned for reading in Ch.3

31

32 How to misuse unions:

33 QUIZ C/C++ unions and enumerations Write a global function assign_char() that creates and returns a Node with data of type char. Use it in a main program.

34 Solution

35 Back to Ch.7: unions in C++ Just like struct and class, a union can also have a constructor, destructor, member functions, and even access control. (However, a union cannot be used as a base class during inheritance.)

36 Initializing a union is simplified with constructors (no more manual decoration!)

37

38 Would X.read_float() work here?

39 To make union operations safer, we store the type alongside the data (this was already possible in C)

40

41 And now we can print safely like this

42

43 We stop before the section unions Individual work for next time: End-of-chapter 1, 3. Review Unions and Enumerations from Ch.3 EOL 1

44 What is type-safe linkage? QUIZ

45 QUIZ What is type-safe linkage? Type-safe linkage enforces that function declarations and definitions must have the same number and types of arguments at link-time.

46 QUIZ Can C++ functions be overloaded solely on return values? Explain, either way.

47 QUIZ What is meant by calling a function only for its side-effects?

48 Example: putchar() putchar() details

50 Extra-credit

51 Extra-credit#2

52 Default arguments A default argument is one the compiler inserts if it isn t specified in the function call. Thus, the calls f( hello ) ; f( hi, 1) ; f( howdy, 2, c ) ; can all be calls to the same function. They could also be calls to three overloaded functions (if the overloaded functions have been defined).

53 Remember the two constructors for stash?

54 They can be replaced with only one! Only trailing arguments may be defaulted. That is, you can t have a default argument followed by a nondefault argument. The value of the default argument ( = 0) can be placed either in the declaration or the definition, but not in both!

55 QUIZ Write the prototype (declaration) of a function person with three arguments, an integer and two strings. The strings can default to John and Snow, respectively.

56 READ: Placeholder arguments

57 Choosing overloading vs. default arguments Code from text

58 Make sure you re including the current name of the header file!

59 Code walk-though...

60 Answer the following questions about the code:

61 Isn t it inefficient to delete the old memory block? Why do we allocate a new block instead of just enlarging the existing block? What is the purpose of memset()? Explain newmem + size

62 What would happen if we forgot delete []mem; Explain in your own words what this function does.

63 What would happen if we wrote a simpler memset like this: memset(newmem, 0, minsize); Would the code still work correctly?

64 It s still correct, although inefficient: extra time is spent filling with zeroes the first size bytes, which are then copied from the old block. What would happen if we wrote a simpler memset like this: memset(newmem, 0, minsize); Would the code still work correctly?

65 Based on our understanding of ensureminsize(), explain the difference between the two overloaded versions of pointer().

66 Explain the operation of the C functions strlen() and strcpy(). Explain the +1. Explain (char *)buf->pointer(). precedence? See next slide.) (Hint: What is the Is it OK to use the default constructor above, or should the other version be used: pointer(int minsize)? Precedence table on next slide

67

68 Let s take a closer look at how the two overloaded constructors are being used: What is the difference in terms of efficiency?

69 Replace the two overloaded constructors with one, having a default argument Hint: Make sure the code still works!

70 Replace the two overloaded constructors with one, having a default argument

71 What is the difference NOW in terms of efficiency?

72 What is the difference NOW in terms of efficiency? A: Efficiency of default constructor is lost, since both calls now create the new object and call strcpy().

73 Text has default argument in prototype We can restore the efficiency by using the default value as a flag to decide which code to call at a small price Can you see what the price is?

74 Text has lost the default argument Can you see what the price is? A: We re always passing a parameter, and always executing an if statement.

75 Text has lost the default argument More important considerations are code clarity and maintainability; because of this, it is recommended to keep the original overloaded functions!

76 Can we draw the same conclusion for this pair of overloaded constructors? Declarations Definitions

77 Can we draw the same conclusion for this pair of overloaded constructors? Declarations Definitions
