My code is here.
struct process *init_process (char *programName, int startTime, int cpuTime) {
struct process *proc;
proc = (malloc(sizeof(struct process)));
if (proc == NULL) {
printf("Fatal error: memory allocation failure.\nTerminating.\n");
exit(1);
}
proc->programName = programName;
proc->cpuTime = cpuTime;
proc->startTime = startTime;
proc->next = NULL;
return(proc);
};
The compiler says that "error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'process*'" in line 3. I try to use process*(malloc(sizeof(struct process))) to do the type conversion but the compiler says that 'error: expected primary-expression before '*' token' this time.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
In C++, you should use the new style casts:
proc = static_cast<process *>(malloc(sizeof(struct process)));
But, if you really are using a C++ compiler, you should really be using new
/ new[]
for dynamic allocation (and delete
/ delete[]
for deallocation).
proc = new process;
If you are porting C code to C++, and you don't want to modify the current malloc()
calls, you can try adding this:
#ifdef __cplusplus
namespace cxx {
class voidptr {
void *p_;
public:
voidptr (void *p = 0) : p_(p) {}
template <typename T>
operator T * () const { return static_cast<T *>(p_); }
};
voidptr malloc (size_t sz) { return ::malloc(sz); }
voidptr calloc (size_t cnt, size_t sz) { return ::calloc(cnt, sz); }
voidptr realloc (void *p, size_t newsz) { return ::realloc(p, newsz); }
}
#define malloc(x) cxx::malloc(x)
#define calloc(x,y) cxx::calloc(x,y)
#define realloc(x,y) cxx::realloc(x,y)
#endif
