Java's equiv. of this C++ code:

General Discussion

Hi all,

ive bumped my head against a wall pretty hard and cannot figure a solution in java for this:



int numberOfObjects = 10;
ObjectA* currentObj;

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfObjects; i++) {
  currentObj = &parentObject.node[i];
  ...
}



Any ideas?

And this one, is getting on my nerves:


int mem_size = sizeOf(obj);
obj = (ObjectA) MemoryAllocaAndClear(mem_size);



:?

Edit: Changed Spelling of title

It’s just getting a reference to the ObjectA, so it’s


int numberOfObjects = 10;
ObjectA currentObj;

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfObjects; i++) {
  currentObj = parentObject.node[i];
  ...
}



However, now currentObj references the same memory as parentObject.node so if you don't want them to be the same you might want to clone the parentObject.node

awsomes, i edited the post while you were typing, i didn’t expect a reply so fast, any ideas about the other problem?

int mem_size = sizeOf(obj);
obj = (ObjectA) MemoryAllocaAndClear(mem_size);


ObjectA obj = new ObjectA();

That’s just one of the annoyances of C/C++, there are so many ways to allocate memory. malloc,calloc,new, etc, etc. Java… new. :slight_smile:
