I've never used Qt before but, this line seems odd,
for (index_array = 0; index_array < list_array[index_array].size(); ++index_array ) specifically
index_array < list_array[index_array].size() Maybe try something like
for (index_array = 0; index_array < list_array.size(); ++index_array )

Sorry, no go.
This is not about Qt - I no longer post questions about Qt - this is wrong forum for Qt.
This is plain C question - hence in "C..." sub forum.
In my view each loop has its stopping point.
The first - parent loop - needs to stop when it reaches the end
AND its "size" is correct (see debug message ) and I can run it bypassing the "inner " loop.
The size of inner loop is wrong - see debug messages posted.
Changing the parent loop size as suggested gets this error:
/mnt/A_BT_DEC10/BT__PROGRAMS/A_JAN11/A_BT_LIBRARY/terminal_Bluetooth/mainwindow_Bluetooth.cpp:142: error: member reference base type 'const QStringList[10]' is not a structure or union
mainwindow_Bluetooth.cpp:142:52: error: member reference base type 'const QStringList[10]' is not a structure or union
for (index_array = 0; index_array < list_array.size(); ++index_array )
~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~

I think you've got your logic in a twist here. I think it should be
for(index_array = 0; index_array < list_array.size(); ++index_array )
{
for(index_main = 0; index_main < list_array[index_array].size(); ++index_main )
{
}
}
Additionally, note that you're calculating list_array.size() and list_array[index_array].size() multiple times. Perhaps better would be
const size_t list_max = list_array.size();
for( index_array = 0; index_array < list_max; ++index_array )
{
const size_t array_max = list_array[index_array].size();
for(index_main = 0; index_main < array_max; ++index_main)
{
}
Maybe, since you've declared list_array as const, the compiler will be able to optimize away the unneeded function calls, but speaking for myself, I find my version just a little easier to read and understand.

Sorry, but the compiler till complain about this - without specifying it is an arraray as [10]

mainwindow_Bluetooth.cpp:168:39: error: member reference base type 'const QStringList[10]' is not a structure or union
const size_t list_max = list_array.size();
~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~
const size_t list_max = list_array.size();
for( index_array = 0; index_array < list_max; ++index_array )
{
// stuff
const size_t array_max = list_array[index_array].size();
for(index_main = 0; index_main < array_max; ++index_main)
{
//more stuff
}
}

SOLVED
Wrong logic in embedded loop - this is size of CURRENT / dynamic MAIN loop member.
Thanks very much for all the help.

for (index_array = 0; index_array < list_array[index_array].size()+1; ++index_array )
{
text = " index array ";

Found the cause of the weird count
The code counts # of characters in the member of the child array....

To me anyway, your for loop test seems tailored to the actual counts of items and subitems, what if each QStringList had 15 strings instead of 4?
Couldn't you use containers analogous to stl contianers
something along the lines of;
QList<QStringList> myList;
QStringList strlist1 = { "Blah1", "Blah2", "Blah3" };
QStringList strlist2 = { "Blah4", "Blah5", "Blah6" };
QStringList strlist3 = { "Blah7", "Blah8", "Blah9" };
myList.push_back(strList1);
myList.push_back(strList2);
myList.push_back(strList3);
for (int mainIndex = 0; mainIndex < myList.size(); mainIndex++)
{
for (int subIndex = 0; subIndex < myList[mainIndex].size(); subIndex++)
{
}
}

Yes, pretty much similar code.
..and the idea of "variable count ", I will eventually have a file where I will keep the data and will add to it as required - sort of database .
I messed up a little and had the main loop in the array...
It has been great "discussion" and it helped a lot...
Thanks
PS
I may post the final version ,if anybody cares.
Right now it is lot of "cut and paste" to put it in code
which actuality does puts menu /submenu into main code.

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with C++. Whether you like it or not this is a Qt issue, and the Qt forums are the best place for the question.

I have DONE that a getting nowhere fast... I am getting the usual "you do not know what you are doing"
or RTFM.
The problem with your statement is that you are assuming everyone who uses C++ is also using Qt, which is simply not the case. By not using the Qt forums, you are severely restricting the number of Qt users who can see your question, and you're waiting on the fewer people with Qt experience around here to stumble on your question. Not everyone here visits the site every single day.

Googling with the following gives results that look like they have examples of menu creation.
"QAction" example sub menu
Other than that given multiple questions that you have about it. You might consider the following
1. Use something else
2. The source code is available. So you can dive into that to find solutions to your problems.
I will note that I do in fact use 2 quite often. Both for Java VM (and libraries) and C# Microsoft libraries. So it is not a flippant answer. Documentation is almost never sufficient for all cases. Looking at the source code provides solutions. (Or at least in a couple of cases proved that my current solution would not work.)

The issue was /is the relations between QMenu and QAction...I did solved this by looking at many similar examples. But as told many times - posting it here was my mistake, lesson learn.
Thanks.

If a memory allocation with new fails in C++, should it return NULL or throw an exception?
I have this code:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <unistd.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
try{
char *p = new char[44'321'833'923];
if (!p) {
cout << "memory allocation failed";
exit(1);
}
}
catch(exception&e)
{
cout << "caught it." << e.what();
exit(1);
}
catch (...)
{
cout << "caught exception;";
exit(1);
}
return 0;
}
The class I'm taking says it returns NULL, but the code seems to throw an exception.
Anyone know?
Thanks.

I don’t know who teaches the class you are taking but I hope you don’t pay much for it. new has been throwing std::bad_alloc for the past 20+ years.
Also, while I don’t mind at all answering your questions, why don’t you try to googling? A search for “c++ new allocation failure” gives you many results and undoubtedly can teach you more than my limited answers.
Edit: Using exactly the search I suggested, I found this good article that discusses the issue: C++ Exceptions and Memory Allocation Failure[^].

As this is supposed to be a C++ class, the code should be using nullptr rather than the old Windows NULL definition. And what happens if numStudents is only 1?

Colour me not impressed! As long as you take the free option, I guess you didn't loose much, except maybe some time. Also there is the question of getting bad programming habits, but those can be fixed over time.
These days there are many free online course from very reputable sources like MIT OpenCourseWare | Free Online Course Materials[^]. You might want to take a look at some of them.

And also by binary-file I mean the files with the weird characters and all.
Next, Here is a example of what it should look like:
read_4_bytes("file", 0);
Not much else to say...
|
|
|
|
|
1. Use fopen function to open the file
2. Use fseek function to go to specific offset
3. Use fread function to read the 4 bytes
4. Use fclose function to close the file
Mircea

One more detail - on Windows, you must open the file in "binary" mode using the O_BINARY flag (for open) or "rb" (for fopen).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I am trying to catch a divide-by-zero error with the following code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
try {
int a = 0;
int x = 5 / a;
}
catch (exception e)
{
cout << e.what() << endl;
}
catch (...)
{
cout << "caught ..." << endl;
}
}
For some reason, neither of my catch blocks gets executed. Anyone know how to catch the exception?
Thank you.

|
|
|

AFAIK, there's no way to do it.
You'll have to catch it manually and throw.

I've not used it, but maybe take a look at Handling the Divide by Zero Exception in C++[^], similar to what Maximilien said.

The article mentioned in the previous post does it by doing divisions in a function that checks for a zero divisor and throws an exception if it detects one. If you don't want to use such a function, it gets rather complicated.
If you're running on Windows, you need to handle the structured exception STATUS_FLOAT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO or STATUS_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO. If you're running on Linux, you need to handle the POSIX signal SIGFPE. You can also handle the use of a bad pointer with these techniques. The handler that receives the structured exception or POSIX signal can throw a C++ exception, which you can then catch in the usual way.
The following article goes into the details. But because it also describes a thread framework, you'll have to sift through it to extract the specific code that you need. In particular, see the sections "Receiving a Windows Structured Exception" and "Receiving a POSIX Signal".
