I created a class that represents a packet of information as described on this code:
#ifndef PACKET_H_
#define PACKET_H_
namespace std {
class Packet
{
public:
Packet();
virtual ~Packet();
void initClass();
void setStartP(char);
void setAddFrom(char);
void setAddTo(char);
void setpDataSize(char);
void setpNumber(char);
void setChecksum(char);
void setEndP(char);
void LoadData(char);
char getStartP();
char getAddFrom();
char getAddTo();
char getpDataSize();
char getChecksum();
char getEndP();
char getData();
private:
char pB[261];
char pDataMax;
char pDataIndex;
};
} /* namespace std */
#endif /* PACKET_H_ */
#include "Packet.h"
#include <iostream>
namespace std {
Packet::Packet()
{
pDataIndex = 0;
initClass();
}
Packet::~Packet()
{
delete this;
}
void Packet::setStartP(char startChar)
{
pB[0] = startChar;
cout << "in Set!";
}
void Packet::setAddFrom(char fromChar)
{
}
void Packet::setAddTo(char toChar)
{
}
void Packet::setpDataSize(char dataSizeChar)
{
}
void Packet::setpNumber(char packetNumber)
{
}
void Packet::setChecksum(char checksumChar)
{
}
void Packet::setEndP(char endChar)
{
}
void Packet::LoadData(char dataChar)
{
}
char Packet::getStartP()
{
return pB[0];
cout << "in Get";
}
char Packet::getAddFrom()
{
return pB[1];
}
char Packet::getAddTo()
{
return pB[2];
}
char Packet::getpDataSize()
{
return pB[3];
}
char Packet::getChecksum()
{
return pB[4];
}
char Packet::getEndP()
{
return pB[260];
}
char Packet::getData()
{
return pB[6 + pDataIndex];
}
void Packet::initClass()
{
pDataMax = 254;
pDataIndex = 0;
}
}
At this point i am just testing it so I just implemented two of the methods. When I try to run the program:
#include <iostream>
#include "Packet.h"
using namespace std;
Packet myPacket;
void buildPacket();
int main() {
buildPacket();
return 0;
}
void buildPacket( )
{
char startP = 0x28;
cout << "Setting startP!" << endl;
myPacket.setStartP(startP);
cout << "Getting startP" << endl;
cout << myPacket.getStartP() << endl;
cout << "Done";
}
The code is fine a compile/build time no issues there, it is a run time it falls over. This is really thruowing me, it really is making me doubt what I actually know about class creation and use in C++. The program will run up to a certain point and then crashes with a windows message. on the console this is as far as it gets before crashing:
Setting startP! in Set!Getting startP (
As I can see it it seems to be on deletion that it crashes but not sure why. I looked around for similar issues but can't really find a reason why it is coming up with this, I would be grateful for some help on this one.
