Linked list problem with constructor and destructor
Hi I have some issue regarding constructor and destructor. I have list class, which has two inner classes, one private class for the list nodes, and one public iterator class.
Now for the issue, I have written a non-member print function which uses the inner iterator class. When i use this non-member function it will end calling the destructor for the iterator. It doesn't end here though because for some reason it will also call for the list class's destructor. Which causes some problem when I want to print the list content again.
开发者_运维问答I don't understand why it call the list class destructor as well and wonder if someone kindly can tell me that, and how I should fix it.
I have attached all the code related to the problem

{
os << "key = " << setw(3) << it.iterator_get_key() << ", "
<< "value = " << setw(5) << it.iterator_get_value() << endl;
it.iterator_next();
}
os << endl;
}

Your function void list_print(ostream& os, sorted_list list)
takes a sorted_list
parameter by copy. A quick and dirty fix (that you should do anyways for performance reasons) is the following:
void list_print(ostream& os, const sorted_list& list)
Now, your iteratorn
class takes a mutable list, so this won't work as you expect. You will have quite a few methods to change to make this work.
In any case, your real problem is the lack of a proper copy-constructor. Right now, when you "copy" a list, both end up sharing the same elements, but your destructor is written as if each list owns it's own nodes. Define a proper copy operation and it will solve your problem.
More elaborate help on how to solve the problem: (untested)
Change signature:
void list_print(ostream& os, const sorted_list& list);
Declare + define copy constructor:
sorted_list::sorted_list (const sorted_list& other);
Change iteratorn
interface to support a const sorted_list
:
class sorted_list::iteratorn
{
public:
iteratorn();
~iteratorn();
iteratorn(const sorted_list& list);
const list_link* list_begin() const;
bool iterator_end() const;
void iterator_next();
int iterator_get_key() const;
double iterator_get_value() const;
private:
// You *should* make this `const` but it is not required.
sorted_list::list_link* current;
};
As you can see, the changes are rather minimal, but need to be applied in various places.
const
+ non-const
iterators:
I applied changes here based on the fact that your iteratorn
was currently only defining read-only operations on your sorted_list
. If you want to support write access to allow changing the value stored in list nodes (never allow changing the key or you won't have a sorted list anymore), you should define two iterator classes. See the STL iterator interface for more details.
You're copying the list by value, so the local copy in list_print()
destructs at end of scope. Pass it by const-reference instead.
This in turn means you will have to change your sorted_list
to support working with const lists. In particular you need to have a function that returns a const iterator pointing to the beginning of the list:
sorted_list::const_iteratorn begin() const
{
// returns a const_iteratorn pointing at the beginning of this list
}
Notice you need a new kind of iterator: a const_iteratorn
, which promises it won't change the list.
Then, inside print_list()
initialize a const_iteratorn
with the start iterator that sorted_list
returns, by copy:
sorted_list::const_iteratorn s(list.begin());
Finally create a second iterator instance that initializes with an end iterator coming from a member function of sorted_list
, similar to the begin()
function. This will maintain the const-correctness in print_list()
.
sorted_list::const_iteratorn e(list.end());
while( s != e ) { // two iterators should be able to compare
// ...
s.iterator_next(); // consider ++s
}
Also, as André mentioned, the fact you don't have a proper copy-constructor and assignment operator is a severe issue. Make sure that copying a sorted_list
means copying all its elements, so that the new object owns its own list of elements. Do recall the Rule of Three.
