I have the following code, which takes an unsorted list of songs and artists and sorts and displays them.
int main()
{
SongList totalList; // has a public 2d array 'unsortedSongs' variable
char songs[100][80] =
{
{"David Bowie 'Ziggy Stardust'",},
{"Smokey Robinson 'You've Really Got A Hold On Me'",},
{"Carole King 'You've Got A Friend'",},
// many more songs here totaling to 100
{"Joni Mitchel 'A Case Of You'",},
{"Prince 'Kiss'"}
};
memcpy(&totalList.unsortedSongs, &songs, sizeof(songs)); // this causes a segmentation fault
totalList.displaySortedList();
return 0;
}
I took the code for memcpy almost directly off of the example here, so I am confused as to why this doesn't work. Can someone help me fix this?
edit:
this is the initialization of SongList
class SongList
{
public:
char unsortedSongs[100][80];
public:
void displaySortedList();
void sortList();
string rearrange(char[]);
string getSongsForArtist(int*);
};
This line:
memcpy(&totalList.unsortedSongs, &songs, sizeof(songs));
should be:
memcpy(totalList.unsortedSongs, songs, sizeof(songs));
since both songs
and totalList.unsortedSongs
will decay to pointers which is analogus to the first example in the reference you cited:
memcpy ( person.name, myname, strlen(myname)+1 );
