Storing dynamic array reference which was passed through a function parameter

[gszabo]

Hello,

does somebody know if it can be stored the value of a reference parameter which passes a dynamic array reference. Example:

class AAA
{
   ??? Buffer;

   void method_A(const double & buffer[])
   {
      Buffer = buffer;
   {

   double method_B(int idx)
   {
      return Buffer[idx];
   }
};

void Proc()
{
   AAA a = new AAA();
   
   a.method_A(Close);
   double x = a.method_B(20);
}

Thanks

No, you cannot. What you can is defining the array inside an object and passing the object as a parameter. Just pay attention to its life cycle (its definition scope).

   class Buffer{
    public:
      TYPE buffer[];
   }
   class AAA
   {
      Buffer* buffer;
   
      void method_A(/*const*/ Buffer& buffer)
      {
         buffer = GetPointer(buffer);
      {
   
      double method_B(int idx)
      {
         return buffer.buffer[idx];
      }
   };

   Also Don't use const, as constant upcast won't compile [(const TYPE*)p] and koenig lookup is broken.

Thanks everybody, this is what I was afraid of. But with using struct I can't store the reference of Close, Open, High, ... or any of the indicator buffers.

I believe it is possible, otherwise none of my indicators with buffers would work.
