Minimal class to replace st::vector in c++ for arduino.
Off topic → Programming → Minimal class to replace st::vector in c++ for arduino.
Saw this on a post somewhere, modified a bit with help from lilneo. Works very well, eats up memory fast as it gets big, extremely usefull for smaller stuff tho :)
// Minimal class to replace st::vector
template<typename Data>
class Vector {
size_t d_size; // Stores no. of actually stored objects
size_t d_capacity; // Stores allocated capacity
Data *d_data; // Stores data this is this "heap" we need a function that returns a pointer to this value, to print it
public:
Vector() : d_size(0), d_capacity(0), d_data(0) {}; // Default constructor
Vector(Vector const &other) : d_size(other.d_size), d_capacity(other.d_capacity), d_data(0) //for when you set 1 vector = to another
{
d_data = (Data *)malloc(d_capacity*sizeof(Data));
memcpy(d_data, other.d_data, d_size*sizeof(Data));
}; // Copy constuctor
~Vector() //this gets called
{
free(d_data);
}; // Destructor
Vector &operator=(Vector const &other)
{
free(d_data);
d_size = other.d_size;
d_capacity = other.d_capacity;
d_data = (Data *)malloc(d_capacity*sizeof(Data));
memcpy(d_data, other.d_data, d_size*sizeof(Data));
return *this;
}; // Needed for memory management
void push_back(Data const &x)
{
if (d_capacity == d_size) //when he pushes data onto the heap, he checks to see if the storage is full
resize(); //if full - resize
d_data[d_size++] = x;
}; // Adds new value. If needed, allocates more space
void Clear() //here
{
memset(d_data, 0, d_size);
d_capacity = 0;
d_size = 0;
free(d_data);
}
size_t size() const { return d_size; }; // Size getter
Data const &operator[](size_t idx) const { return d_data[idx]; }; // Const getter
Data &operator[](size_t idx) { return d_data[idx]; }; // Changeable getter
Data *pData() { return (Data*)d_data; }
private:
void resize()
{
d_capacity = d_capacity ? d_capacity * 2 : 1;
Data *newdata = (Data *)malloc(d_capacity*sizeof(Data)); //allocates new memory
memcpy(newdata, d_data, d_size * sizeof(Data)); //copies all the old memory over
free(d_data); //free old
d_data = newdata;
};// Allocates double the old space
};
fucking codeblocks doesnt like this i guess
@redstone_sheep wtf is going on with the website, i wasnt even able to post pictures before

Well now i look like a moron :P fair enough. :)
Hia I love arduino
