acces local variable

[syac]

hello friend....

if i wanto to acces local variable in other function in same class, how can i?? example : i have function A, B in same class. i want to acces values variable in class A from function B. i tried using pointer, but it did not work. this my code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int* akses_a1;
void A()
{
int a1 = 2;
int a2 =3;

akses_a1 = &a1;
}

void B()
{
cout << *akses_a1 <<endl;
}

int main()
{
B();
return 0;

or any suggestion ??

My first question would be why?

Why don't you just put the local variable, a1 in your example, and put it as a member of the class?

The problem that you're having is that the variable you want is being allocated on function entry and being removed on exit. Even if you save the address of the variable it will be memory garbage after the function has exited.

Since it seems that your example is in procedural C, the best way to get your example to work would be to make "akses_a1" and regular int and call A() either before B() in main, or in B() before the cout.

I hope that helps.

You can't. Once the function returns, those local variables disappear.

Local variables are to be used local to the function. If you want to access variables from other functions, then you can't make them local. Either create a class with these variables, or use global variables.

or any suggestion ??

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int akses_a1;

int A()
{
   int a1 = 2;
   int a2 =3;
   return a1; // return value of a1 here
}

void B()
{
    akses_a1 = A();
    cout << akses_a1 <<endl;
}

int main()
{
   B();
   return 0;
}

Hmm, why do you think local variables are called "local" ?

i got same problem..

My first question would be why?

int A()

that code just example of my problem. my true code is very long code. if i call function, it will do any thing that coded in that function. and the function's tipe in my true code is void. so i use same example in my post. any suggestion again?? what must i do?

As treuss have very well explained, local objects are... well, local. (Actually, you can use their addresses in other places, but you must be aware of their life-cycle.) So you really can't do that in the way you want. One option similar to your example would be to use a non-local object created on the free store. In this case, don't forget to delete it.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int* akses_a1;

void A()
{
  int * a1 = new int(2);
  akses_a1 = a1;
}

void B()
{
  cout << *akses_a1 <<endl;
  delete akses_a1;
}

int main()
{
  A(); //To create the int.
  B();
  return 0;
}

What other restrictions should we all know about? You can't use local variables, so start with that fact first. What I gave you is one solution. Here is another.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int akses_a1;

void A(int *varToChange)
{
   int a1 = 2;
   int a2 =3;
   *varToChange = a2;
}

void B()
{
    A(&akses_a1);
    cout << akses_a1 <<endl;
}

int main()
{
   B();
   return 0;
}
