[libwiigui] (GuiText array[15]) -> requires arguments

Hi,


I have to declare an array of 15 members of GuiText.
like this:

GuiText myText[15];

but the problem is that GuiText() constructor requires at least one argument( const char *text )

so if it was not an array I just would declare it like

GuiText myText("spaceholder");

But how can I use constructor arguments in case of arrays?

thx for your help
->it is for a new revision of the code manager->so help me:)


EDIT:
Again, vectors saved my life xD

Can anybody tell me why this doesn't work? Oò

HoldGui();
vector myText(15, "Spaceholder");

mainWindow->Append(&myText.at(0));
ResumeGui();

EDIT:
fixed it through push_back alternative;)

it's easy, you use the follwing syntax:

obj arr[2]= { obj(1), obj(2) };

Or in C syntax you can use pointers, so: GuiText * myText[15];

and then when you need a new one myText[n] = new GuiText("hello world");

thx for your help

skip my edit above->still crashes....

I'll try your ways :)

EDIT:
yours seem finally working fine :D

It's good practice to set the ones you're not using null, so myText[n] = NULL;

And just remember to free() one when you're done with it:

if(myText[n] != NULL)
free(myText[n])

Technically, it's ok to free null, there is no need to check for null yourself. The real issue is that it's supposed to be delete and not free when you got the memory with new. It's not allowed to mix them up. At least, the destructor will fail to run, possibly leaking further memory. And at worst, you just freed memory from the wrong heap, causing a crash sometime in the future.

hum, are you sure about that ?
I think it's ok to call free(NULL) because it's handled by gcc but free(pointer) with pointer being unallocated always leaded me to memory crash, I don't think gcc or libs check that for you, at least regarding the "C" free function (Idunno about delete)

You're both right I think. My code was wrong, I meant delete.

So:

if(myText[n])
{
delete(myText[n]);
myText[n] = NULL;
}
