Default arguments & arrays

desamaru · 2004-06-05T20:55:59

Hello everyone, I''m new to both the forum and to game development. My question is about default arguments. I have only recently began to use them extensively, but have run into a problem in one instance. What is the syntax for default arrays? Specifically, I have this written out: void func(some_type array[]={ }, int num=0); ... void func(some_type array[], int num) { ... } My intent is to have the default be some sort of "empty" array, if there is such a thing, and "num" be zero, representing the size of the array. Visual C++ 6 is giving me some error about unmatched left parenthesis in the default arguments. The actual implementation I''m using is the constructor of one of my classes, but I doubt that makes a difference. Any help or advice is appreciated, even not directly related to my question. -desamaru

Alright, sounds good enough. By the time I got to the end of this thread, the usefulness of the default arguments started to wear off. I''ll start using vectors too. At the least, I can consider myself slightly more educated on arrays/pointers.
