Hello,

I am getting the following error from line 108. I'm trying to find information on the error. The elapsed_time function returns a double, so I'm not sure where there is a problem.

error C3867: 'Timer::elapsed_time': function call missing argument list; use '&Timer::elapsed_time' to create a pointer to member

#include "utility.h"

#define s 10			// Number of Columns

The error that you are having problems with is the fact that Timer::elaspsed_time is a function so you need to write double t = time.elapsed_time(); The reality is you really really need to re-write this. You are using #define's with sign letter values. (a) this is C++ so use a const. (b) s and r, you are going to type that somewhere else and get into a complete mess.

Use const int colSize(10); or some such thing.

Next you use 10 and % 10 in various places in the code hence forgetting that you parameterized it.

Then we have lines like:

short (*matrix_shifted) [row]= new short [column + 1][row];

It doesn't do what you want and it doesn't get deleted so is a memory leak.

If you want to handle your own memory for a matrix, then there are two basic patterns for memory allocation:

int  **M = new int[cols];
*M=new int[rows*cols];
for(int i=0;i<cols;i++)
  M[i]=M[0]+i*rows;
// or....
int **M=new int[cols]
for(int i=0;i<cols;i++)
   M[i]=new int[rows];

(There are others but you see them a lot less often).

Finally, you use the std::queue, well if you are going to use the STL please look at boost::multi_array and std::vector, both of which can be used in this manor.

short (*matrix_shifted) [row]= new short [column + 1][row];

Thanks for the input. Why doesn't the line above do what I want?

If I don't use "#define" for global variables, how do I pass the array to a function? I tried passing by reference. I read that arrays cannot be passed to a function. Is this true?
