Inside this following thread routine :
void* Nibbler::moveRoutine(void* attr)
{
[...]
Nibbler* game = static_cast<Nibbler*>(attr);
while (game->_continue == true)
{
std::cout << game->_snake->_body.front()->getX() << std::endl; // display 0
std::cout << game->getDirection() << std::endl; // display 0
game->moveSnake();
std::cout << game->_snake->_body.front()->getX() << std::endl; // display 0
std::cout << game->getDirection() << std::endl; // display 42
}
}
[...]
}
I am calling the member function moveSnake(), which is supposed to modify the positions of the cells forming my snake's body.
void Nibbler::moveSnake()
{
[...]
std::cout << this->_snake->_body.front()->getX() << std::endl; // display 0
this->_snake->_body.front()->setX(3);
this->_direction = 42;
std::cout << this->_snake->_body.front()->getX() << std::endl; // display 3
[...]
}
Although my two coordinates are effectively modified inside my moveSnake() function, they are not anymore when I go back to my routine, where they keep their initial value. I don't understand why this is happening, since if I try to modify any other value of my class inside my moveSnake() function, the instance is modified and it will keep this value back in the routine.
The Nibbler class :
class Nibbler
{
public :
[...]
void moveSnake();
static void* moveRoutine(void*);
private :
[...]
int _direction
Snake* _snake;
IGraphLib* _lib;
pthread_t _moveThread;
...
};
The snake :
class Snake
{
public :
[...]
std::vector<Cell*> _body;
};
And finally the cell :
class Cell
{
public :
void setX(const int&);
void setY(const int&);
int getX() const;
int getY() const;
Cell(const int&, const int&);
~Cell();
private :
int _x;
int _y;
};
The cell.cpp code :
void Cell::setX(const int& x)
{
this->_x = x;
}
void Cell::setY(const int& y)
{
this->_y = y;
}
int Cell::getX() const
{
return this->_x;
}
int Cell::getY() const
{
return this->_y;
}
Cell::Cell(const int& x, const int& y)
{
this->_x = x;
this->_y = y;
}
Cell::~Cell()
{}
