The most natural place for structures without tags is typedef declaration (it's the only place I've used anonymous structs ;)):

Apropos, your fix_name is wrong. It does nothing (except memory leak).

You modify dynamically allocated copy of the string argument then assign the pointer to the parameter (but not to the...

And yet another question to OP:
Why you are starting a new thread on the same problem?

No a proper constructor of the class SipDialogPublish.
Check up class SipDialogPublish definition and types of constructor arguments in the line #343. Probably this constructor was declared but not...

Yet another tip:

while (infile) // wrong loop!

See what happens if the file is empty or after the last line reading:

Try to adopt this improvisation:

It's not an error at all. It's a simple info message. Fill the difference.

Insert std::cin.ignore(1000,'\n'); after std::cin >> diameter;

That's exactly what OP intends to do ;)

Of course, it's not a stupid question but it's impossible to answer in a few words.

Better use std::string class:

The wittingly wrong statement in OP code is delete buffer; - must be delete[]buffer;. Yet another defect: insufficient error check-up.

Right direction but lots of defects in OP code.

There is a very strange syntax construct in your code:

Your constructor variant with assignments has the same effect as mine. However as usually assignments in constructors (or even anywhere) are less effective than initialization with ctor-initializers...

In addition:
Change lines 40-45 in my code above to

/// more syntax sugar for lazies
const Suite
&Hearts = Suite::Hearts,
&Clubs = Suite::Clubs,
&Diamonds = Suite::Diamonds,

This part is so called ctor-initializer-list. In C++ it's a preferred way to initialize class members and the only method to pass constructor arguments to base class(es) constructors (the last...

Are you sure that your method is not efficient?
Why?..
What's your efficiency criterion?

Of course, all possible in C++ ;)
That's an improvisation:

Suite() {}
Suite(const Suite& suit):value(suit.value) {}

To make distinctions between static, automatic and dynamic attributes - is it too pedantic for you?

In C you can assign void* type pointer value to the pointer of any type without casting. So simply declare a proper type pointer and set it to the buffer:

char* pchar = buf_ptr;
char* ptr = pchar...
