Optional parameter vector












-1















How to make optional vector parameter? I read in some thread to use pointer to vector but I get following error:



 redefinition of default argument: parameter 1


with code error C2572.



void EnumerateProcessInformations(std::vector<DWORD> &o_processId, const std::vector<std::wstring> *o_processName = nullptr)
{
HANDLE hSnapProcess = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, NULL);
PROCESSENTRY32W process;
process.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32W);
Process32FirstW(hSnapProcess, &process);
do
{
if (process.th32ProcessID != 0)
{
o_processId.emplace_back(process.th32ProcessID);
if (*o_processName != nullptr) { *o_processName.emplace_back(process.szExeFile); }
}
} while (Process32NextW(hSnapProcess, &process));
CloseHandle(hSnapProcess);
}

int main()
{
std::vector<DWORD> processId;
EnumerateProcessInformations(processId, nullptr);
for (auto& p : processId)
{
std::cout << p << std::endl;
}
getchar();
return 0;
}

There are two problems with your use of a pointer:




  • you are dereferencing the pointer before checking it for nullptr. You are not checking if the pointer is null, you are checking if the vector being pointer to is null.


  • you are declaring it as pointing to a const vector, which means you can't call any mutating methods on the vector, like emplace_back.



Try this instead:



void EnumerateProcessInformations(..., std::vector<std::wstring> *o_processName = nullptr);

...

void EnumerateProcessInformations(..., std::vector<std::wstring> *o_processName)
{
...
if (o_processName) o_processName->emplace_back(process.szExeFile);
...
}

  • @IInspectable yes, but in the case of a standalone function that is implemented solely in the same cpp file it is used in, its declaration and definition may be one and the same thing. And the way the OP's code is presented, that may be the case in this situation.

    – Remy Lebeau
    Nov 17 '18 at 22:10













  • The fact that the OP presented a compiler error is enough information to infer, that the code the OP posted is incomplete, and there is a declaration preceding the definition.
