Hello people and merry christmas. I am trying to create a simple
linked list and it seems i am
doing something wrong with the DeleteNode function ...
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "GenericStringClass2.h"
#include <string.h>
#define DEFAULT 0

}
// increasing the elements of the list
itsCount++;
}
void MACList::PrintList()
{

while( temp != NULL)
{

temp=temp->next;
}
}
void MACList::DeleteNode(const String& mac)
{

// If the first element of the list is going to be deleted:
if(head->macAdr==mac)
{

}
else

delete currNode;
}
else // you didn't find the string in currNode
so ...
{
prevNode=currNode;
currNode=currNode->next;
}
}
}
}
int main(void)
{
MACList MACListIstance;
MACListIstance.AddNode("11-11-11-11-11-11");
MACListIstance.AddNode("22-22-22-22-22-22");
MACListIstance.AddNode("33-33-33-33-33-33");
MACListIstance.AddNode("44-44-44-44-44-44");
MACListIstance.PrintList();
bool t = MACListIstance.FindNode("11-11-11-11-11-11");
MACListIstance.DeleteNode("22-22-22-22-22-22");
MACListIstance.PrintList();
if (t==true) cout << "This MAC address exists into the
database ... n";
else cout << "This MAC address does not exist in the
database.... n";
cout << "Hello world ... the list currently has " <<
MACListIstance.GetCount() << " elements n";
return 0;
}
The problem is when i am trying to delete a node .. The program hangs
after the command
delete currNode is executed ... The String class is declared in
another file and here is the
default destructor :
String::~String()
{
cout << "Calling the default destructor of String ..n";
delete [] itsString;
itsLen=0;
cout <<"Default destructor of String finished ... n";
}
Can you help ?? I am using Visual C++
(Sorry for my english ... )

You don't need to write destructor for MACListPart. If you do... you don't
want to do the suicide thing...
Remember to decrement itsCount in the
void MACList::DeleteNode (const String &mac) function and you'll get...
11-11-11-11-11-11
22-22-22-22-22-22
33-33-33-33-33-33
44-44-44-44-44-44
YAHOOOO
11-11-11-11-11-11
33-33-33-33-33-33
44-44-44-44-44-44
11-11-11-11-11-11
33-33-33-33-33-33
44-44-44-44-44-44
This MAC address exists into the database ...
Hello world ... the list currently has 3 elements
Is that what you wanted?

First of all thank you for your answer |
Secondly .. how did you do that ??
I did put
if(this != NULL)
{
delete this;
}
else delete this;
in comments and still the program hangs !! Can you give me the
destructor of your String class ????
I even removed the destructor definition in the MACListPart , so the
compiler should do whatever it want to, when deleting the node .
But still nothing !!! .
This is the output of my program :
Calling the default destructor of String ..
Default destructor of called ...
Calling the default destructor of String ..
Default destructor of called ...
Calling the default destructor of String ..
Default destructor of called ...
Calling the default destructor of String ..

YAHOOOO

33-33-33-33-33-33
44-44-44-44-44-44 // And now hangs !!!

I am not THAT stupid ... When I i say it hangs i mean that the
execution of the program stops and Windows XP creates a window
which says that " LinkedList3.exe has encourted a problem and needs
to close . We are sorry for the inconvenience " blah-blah .. Debug ,
Send Report , Don't Send ". The problem is with the delete operation .
Did you run this program with VC++ ??? . What's your String destructor
???

If this is NULL you have problems, therefore this check is completely

The reason it crashes is because you dont exit the loop. Just add a |
break; here. Or if you want to delete all nodes that match update
prevNode and currNode.

One of the things that would give me that message is running out of stack
space.
This...
MACListPart::~MACListPart (void) {
cout << "Calling the default destructor for MACListPart ...n";
if (this != NULL)
delete this;
else
delete this;
}
.... will set up an endless loop and would have caused that.that message for
me.

Well I don't have your String class but your d'tor looks OK and would have
worked for you elsewhere in your program.
I used std::string, implemented thus...
#include
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
// #include "GenericStringClass2.h"
#include <string.h>
// Emulate 'class String'
#include <string>
typedef std::string String;
#define GetString c_str
#define DEFAULT 0
<snip>
,,,You could try that.

I am not THAT stupid ...
I didn't mean to imply that you were. I often overlook the obvious at
times. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees. ;-)

See, I told you that we all overlook the obvious at times. As Michael Mellor
did, I
added a break to the loop in your void MACList::DeleteNode (const String
&mac) function, and then forgot to mention that to you. Sorry.
Regards
Brian

Many of these headers are not necessary in your program. Also, you
should be using
"const int DEFAULT = 0;" is better here.

As someone else has pointed out, you shouldn't do this. See the FAQ

Here, IMHO, "assert(this != NULL)" would make more sense...

You forgot to update pMacListPart.

If "current" is used only to help insertions at the end of the list,
its name is misleading; also, you may need to update it when you
delete a node.

// increasing the elements of the list
itsCount++;

The problem is when i am trying to delete a node .. The program hangs
after the command
delete currNode is executed ... The String class is declared in
another file and here is the
default destructor :

Hard to say anything without the complete String class, but you could
for example replace it with std::string (or, better yet, int) for
testing MACList separately.
HTH,

You didn't forget that you have this silly....

I would like to thank you for your help ... I am new to C++
programming so I make many mistakes !!!
