I need to convert char array of C into string c++ but the char array is an element of struct.
Code:
This is my Structure in C
typedef struct myStruct
{
char name[50];
char abc[50];
ESL_BOOL status;
}MyStruct;
and I want to access name[50] in c++ but for that I have to convert it into string.
I have tried strcpy and memcpy.
I am using ESL_BOOL status; and it is working but confused with name[50].
The first thing you should change in the class name in your struct because that will likely cause problems because it is a keyword in C++.
Then for converting a C string into a C++ one, you can simply use the std::string constructor that accepts C-style strings.
std::string myCppString(MyStruct.name);
char[50] into another?typedef struct myStruct {
char name[50];
char mclass[50];
ESL_BOOL status;
} MyStruct;
class is a reserved keyword of the C++ language. If you try to use it, tokenizer will take it as a keyword and cause problems later in the parsing phase, as an identifier will be expected.
It was once considered a good practice to precede all of the struct´s members with m or m_ to avoid such collisions.
To your problem: just the default "from C string" string (const char* s) constructor should be enough.
MyStruct obj;
std::string objsName(obj.name);
std::string objsClass(obj.mclass);
