digitalmars.D.learn - Need help with simple event framework

Hello guys,

I need some help regarding a (very) basic Event handling framework I
just started on today.
Please note that I'm still fairly new to programming itself and that
I might not know things that seem obvious to others.

The attached file is my work so far. I have a class called Backbone
which houses 2 pointers for a linked list. Every linked list member
contains 2 private pointers (one forward and one backward), the
associated public functions to acces them, a string for the Event_ID
and a function pointer to the function that shall be called, if an
event with the corresponding Event_ID is invoked.

I also have a simple test class with exactly one function to test
whether the function is indeed called.



I can compile without problems, but I get a runtime error "Access
Violation: Read at address 0x4E4". This runtime error gets thrown
once I call the function getNext() through a pointer, but I honestly
have no idea why.

I am using D1 and Tango, though Tango is only for the line printing
and can easily be converted to Phobos.

I hope you can help me!

How can I use "new" in conjunction with a pointer? "new" creates an

Without seeing the original code, foo() below returns a pointer to an object allocated on the heap: struct S {} S * foo() { S * p = new S; return p; } void main() { S * p = foo(); } That object belongs to the D runtime and may be destroyed at an unspecified time when there are no more references to it.

By the way, how can I split up my classes into seperate source files?
Just copying the code into one file per class and changing the imports
doesn't work. I tried compiling the classes seperately, into libraries
and what not, but all I get is Linker-errors as soon as compiling the
Backbone class.
Setting the -I flag for the import path does not work, either.

That error must have been changed since D1. I get a similar one when I return a pointer to a 'class' variable as opposed to a 'struct' variable. If you are really using a class, then you don't need a pointer: class S {} S foo() { /* * The left hand side is a class variable, while the * anonymous object that has been created with new on the * right hand side is a clas object. Class objects are * accessed by class variables. * * They are different things. They are confusing because * the object is defined as 'class S{}' earlier and * its reference variable is defined as 'S var'. (I think * * Returning the class variable from the function is fine * because the actual object lives in the heap. */ S var = new S; return var; } void main() { S var = foo(); } Please provide a smaller code in plain text. (Some people put their code on a clipboard-like code site. You can do that too if the code is too long.)
 By the way, how can I split up my classes into seperate source files?
(Note: It would be better if this question had its separate thread.) The following is on Linux. I think the object file extensions are .obj on Windows.

You must give those files to the compiler as well. Assuming the program has the main module (deneme.d) and two others: $ dmd deneme.d hayvan/kedi.d hayvan/kopek.d
 I tried compiling the classes seperately,
That works too. Assuming that the two modules have been compiled with the -c flag to generate their .o files: $ dmd deneme.d hayvan/kedi.o hayvan/kopek.o
 into libraries
That works too. First make a library that consists of the modules: $ dmd hayvan/kedi.d hayvan/kopek.d -lib -ofhayvan Then use that library when building the program: $ dmd deneme.d hayvan.a Most of the above are from one of the not-yet-translated chapters of D.ershane: http://ddili.org/ders/d/moduller.html
 and what not, but all I get is Linker-errors as soon as compiling the
 Backbone class.

-I is for the location of the import files; it doesn't involve compilation. Ali
