[Q] I need help with passing an array of pointers to an object

[davidthefat]

First of all, you can make

for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
		buttons[x] = false;
	}

into this:

buttons = {0}; //This fills the array with 0's, which is equivalent to false.

Secondly, I am partial against using the "<=" operator in a for loop; I suggest just sticking with "<".

*victor points to the pointer to a pointer to an array of pointers to Victor objects. Now, what many C/C++ novices overlook is the fact that the array and pointer notations are interchangeable. So, let's see this example:

int foo[10] = {0};
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  foo[i] = i;
//Is the same as this:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  *(foo+i) = i;

So, that being said, look at how you declared your Victor array. I don't think you are doing what you are trying to do.

I would do:

Victor **victors;
//All the other stuff...

JoystickInput::JoystickInput(Joystick * joy, Victor **vicArray) {
	joystick = joy;
	buttons = {0};
	victors = vicArray;
	}

//Then when you declare that array that you pass in:

Victor *drivers = new Victor[8];

//Fill the array like drivers[0] = new Victor();
//Then pass it into the function.

JoystickInput(joy, &drivers);

Hopefully that helps. I might have made a simple mistake here or there, but keep in mind that I've been almost exclusively been programming in C this year.
