Asg 0.5: List of pointers to data_t objects

Objectives

Assignment

1. Write C++ code to define a data_t class (object) that will hold the following two data members:
   • std::string name
   • int id
2. Create two files: data.h that holds the object interface and data.cpp that holds the object implemantation.
3. The main.cpp test driver program (see below) reads a data file (redirected from std::cin), creates a data_t object from each pair of string and numbers, and adds them to a list. It then prints them out and deletes the list. Once your program successfully compiles (using the Makefile provided below), you should be able to test the program by executing this command on the command line:
   • ./main < listdata.txt

Details

1. Your data_t object should provide the following:
   • Overloaded constructors:
     • data_t(std::string iname="",int iid=-1);
   • The big three:
     1. copy constructor (data_t(const data_t& rhs);)
     2. destructor (~data_t();), default ok (can comment this out)
     3. assignment operator (const data_t& operator=(const data_t& rhs);)
   • Input/output stream friend functions:
     • friend istream& operator>>(istream& s, data_t& rhs);
     • friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& s, const data_t& rhs);

Requirements

1. Rewrite Assignment 00's main() routine such that it now uses a list of pointers to data_t (std::vector<data_t* >).

Input

1. The listdata.txt file used to test the above program is:

   Mike    1234
   Bill    3212
   Sarah   1321
   John    1021
   Carol   3223
   Debbie  4231
   Gary    9321
   Ann     1231
   Dale    7231
   Lynn    8133
   Patty   9999
   	

Output

1. Expected output with the above input file is:

   Mike 1234
   Bill 3212
   Sarah 1321
   John 1021
   Carol 3223
   Debbie 4231
   Gary 9321
   Ann 1231
   Dale 7231
   Lynn 8133

   *** printing records
   Mike 1234
   Bill 3212
   Sarah 1321
   John 1021
   Carol 3223
   Debbie 4231
   Gary 9321
   Ann 1231
   Dale 7231
   Lynn 8133
   Patty 9999
   *** printing records again
   Mike 1234
   Bill 3212
   Sarah 1321
   John 1021
   Carol 3223
   Debbie 4231
   Gary 9321
   Ann 1231
   Dale 7231
   Lynn 8133
   Patty 9999
   *** deleting records
   *** initializing new records
   *** deleting records again
   *** done
   	

Supplemental

1. Here is a Makefile that you can use to compile the project:

   .SUFFIXES: .c .o .cpp .cc .cxx .C
   
   UNAME = $(shell uname)
   PLATFORM = $(shell uname -p)
   
   CC = g++
   COPTS = -g -Wall
   
   INCDIR =
   LIBDIR =
   
   ifeq ("$(shell uname)", "Linux")
   LIBS = -lm
   else
   ifeq ("$(shell uname)", "Darwin")
   LIBS = -framework Foundation -lstdc++
   endif
   endif
   
   .c.o:
   	$(CC) -c $(INCDIR) $(COPTS) -o $@ $<
   
   .cpp.o:
   	$(CC) -c $(INCDIR) $(COPTS) -o $@ $<
   
   all : main
   
   OBJECTS = \
   data.o
   
   main : $(OBJECTS) main.o
   	$(CC) -o $@ $(INCDIR) $(COPTS) $(OBJECTS) $@.o $(LIBDIR) $(LIBS)
   
   data.o: data.h data.cpp
   
   clean :
   	rm -f *.o
   	rm -rf main main.app
   	

Turn in

1. A README file containing
   1. Course id--section no
   2. Name
   3. Brief solution description (e.g., program design, description of algorithm, etc., however appropriate).
   4. Lessons learned, identified interesting features of your program
   5. Any special usage instructions
2. Makefile
3. source code (.h headers and .cpp source)
4. object code (do a make clean before tar)
