Array of classes and error

[Edos]

Hello my fellow programmers

I'm writing a little program for omnet++ using C++ and I'm having a little error with the code I hope you cand find the solution

in

MyModule.h

protected:
        int arrSize;
	MyClass* arrClass;
public:
	virtual void addToArray(MyClass* msg);

MyModule.cc

void MyModule::addToArray(MyClass* pack) {

    MyClass *var2 = new MyClass[arrSize + 1];
    for (int k = 0; k < arrSize; k++) {
        var2[k] = arrClass[k];
    }
    var2[arrSize] = pack;
    arrSize++;
    arrClass=var2;
}

The error is in "var2[arrSize]=pack" line 7 and I don't find the cause of that error.

var2 is an array of objects or an array of pointers?

This is truly a beginner's question but I can't find the solution

Thank you in advance for your time.

Edit:

The error shown by the compiler is this


no match for 'operator=' in '*(var2 + ((unsigned int)(((unsigned int)((MyModule*)this)->MyModule::arrSize) * 168u))) = pack'

Well, arrClass is never made into an array. It's still a pointer.

The problem is that var2[arrSize] has type MyClass while pack has type MyClass *

So ypu should substitute this statement

var2[arrSize] = pack;

for

var2[arrSize] = *pack;

Also before assigning var2 to arrClass you shall delete the previous allocated memory that is you shall insert statement

delete [] arrClass;
arrClass=var2;

You could substitute the loop

for (int k = 0; k < arrSize; k++) {
var2[k] = arrClass[k];
}


for using of the standard algorithm std::copy declared in header <algorithm>

std:;copy( arrClass, arrClass + arrSize, var2 );

Thanks for your answers.
