我应该如何将char *转换为Class类型

Question

I'm trying to cast a char* into a Class of my own making and can't seem to get it to work without an error telling me that I simply can't cast a char* to type Player (my class name). The character pointer comes from a pointer array, char *names[i], i = any index, names[i] = one of the names , ie Austin or Kyle. With this I think i is a char* , but I could be wrong.

What I am trying to achieve over all is iterating through a vector of type Player and push_back each char* i to the vector while at the same time casting i to type Player. I sure hope this was specific enough I'll clarify if asked.

/*
Inside of my Blakjack constructor
*/
for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++) {
    //m_players is the vector of type Player
    //Player *p = new Player(names[i]);
    m_players.push_back(names[i]);
  }

/*
The Player.h File
*/
#include <vector>
class Player {
    public:
        Player(const char *name);

    private:
        int m_funds;
        char *m_name;
};

/*
The Player.cpp File
*/
#include "Player.h"
#include <iostream>
Player::Player(const char *name){
    m_name = name; //I think this will work but it's hard to tell with my Blackjack
                     constructor still giving errors
    m_funds = 100;
}

Answer 1

It sounds like you want to create a Player object for each name in an array of character strings.

If that's the case, you don't really want to cast a char * to a Player , you want to construct a Player for each char * in your array. Something like:

for (int i = 0; i < nameCount; i++)
{
    Player *p = new Player(names[i]);

    // Do something with p
    v.push_back(p); // ?? or something
}

This assumes your Player class has a constructor that looks like this:

Player::Player(const char *name)

and v is a std::vector<Player>

And if your Player class has this constructor, the language actually allows the char * to be implicitly converted into a Player (which may be what you're thinking of when you're trying to cast the char* into a Player):

for (int i = 0; i < nameCount; i++)
{
    v.push_back(names[i]); // adds a new Player, using the name stored in names[i]
}

EDIT: Your Player class also needs a default constructor:

class Player {

    public:
        Player(const char *name);
        Player() {};  // should probably initialize m_name and m_funds in here (set to 0 or something) just to be pedantic

    private:
        int m_funds;
        char *m_name;
};

This is needed in order to put your objects into a container such as std::vector.

Answer 2

Your Player constructor receives a const char* while your m_name member is char*. Assigning const char* to char* will not work.

Make your constructor Player::Player(char* name).
