Actually, the two first ideas pass the array by address and the third passes the array by reference. You can devise a little test to check this: The output of this test is If a parameter is passed by value, it cannot be modified inside a function because the modifications will stay in the scope of the function. In … Read more
As @Mgetz says, you probably forgot to #include <fstream>. The reason you didn’t get a not declared error and instead this incomplete type not allowed error has to do with what happens when there is a type that has been “forward declared”, but not yet fully defined. Look at this example: Notice we could not actually instantiate a Foo object or … Read more
The modifiers must be on the function declarations, otherwise it would be impossible to call the functions given just the declarations. Since they must be on the declarations, it would be redundant to put them on the definitions as well. There’s no particularly good reason to disallow them (as long as they match the declaration), … Read more
“Heap corruption” generally means you wrote into unallocated memory, damaging the data structures used to make the memory allocator work. There may be more problems, but the first one I see is on this line: This will write strlen(n) + 1 bytes to buffer, but buffer is only strlen(n) bytes long (the extra byte is the terminating \0.) Writing that extra byte results … Read more
You need to pass by reference; by making a copy, you sort a temporary copy, and then that’s it; it disappears and the original is still unsorted, because, once again, you sorted only a temporary copy of the entire vector. So change vector<int> a to vector<int>& a. Here’s the code, fixed: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/2f118555f585ccd5
Could you have a race-condition? If the list were empty, then I’d expect a problem when trying to dereference begin(), but you check for empty. Do you have another thread adding or removing items from list in parallel? Your code snippets works for me on VS 2008 (assuming I typedef Counted_message_reader to int).
How about using the C++ language itself? UPDATE: If you want more than 4 lines of code without any console output, please go to cppreference.com’s page talking about std::boolalpha and std::noboolalpha which shows you the console output and explains more about the API. Additionally using std::boolalpha will modify the global state of std::cout, you may want to restore the original behavior go here for … Read more
Make sure you include fstream. Also, put “std::” before ostream or put “using namespace std” somewhere. It would help if you posted the code, as right now I’m just guessing based on common mistakes. I would guess you forgot to include fstream because different compilers may use different header files and it may be the … Read more

In C++11, why use a for loop when you can use a foreach loop? In C++98/03, why use a for loop when you can use an algorithm instead? Note that this works with any pair of iterators, not only those from std::set<t>. std::copy will use your user-defined operator<< to print out every item inside the set using this single statement.
