4003CEM-pointers

lab_pointers

• Complete lab_pointers.cpp. -- Each of the test functions expects a pointer to a different type of variable, pass each function a pointer to the correct type.
• Run the code. -- How much space do the different types need? -- How much space do the different pointers need?

lab_dynamic

• Compile the lab_dynamic code.
• Run the code. -- Does the program produce any errors?
• Compile the lab_dynamic code again, but THIS time check for memory leaks. -- You will want to add extra debugging information to your code using the -g option. g++ --std=c++14 -g lab_dynamic.cpp -o bin/lab_dynamic -- If you are using CMake then you can compile in debug mode using the command below and then calling your normal compile command. cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
• Run your code using a memory leak checker. --The default Linux checker is Valgrind. valgrind --leak-check=yes bin/lab_dynamic -- What's wrong?
• Fix lab_dynamic.

lab_adaptive

• Complete the lab_adaptive code. -- The program should ask the user for a size, read in that many numbers and then print those numbers in reverse order. -- Some C++ code has been provided to get your started as well as a complete Python version. -- For the purposes of this task you are not allowed to use vectors.
• Test your program for memory leaks.

lab_smart

• Convert your lab_adaptive code to use smart_pointers instead of traditional pointers. -- Save your new code as lab_smart.cpp. -- Consider which type of smart pointer is best used in this case.
• Test your program for memory leaks.

Advanced

• Convert your lab_adaptive code to use vectors instead of arrays. -- Save your new code as lab_vector.cpp.
• Test your program for memory leaks.
