Copying from struct pointer to struct pointer for database in C -

-

i have following structures created: 

typedef struct {   char name[15];   int id; } employee;  typedef employee item;  typedef struct {   item items[5];   int size; } list;

i using function call peek see being stored in list:

void peek (int position, list *l, item *x);

the function should take item in list [l] @ [position] , copy address [x]. have peek function this: 

void peek (int position, list *l, item *x) {   item *b;   b = malloc(sizeof(l->items[position]));   x = b; }

this assigns x same location b think result in memory leak , more importantly if try call id of item x in main, function: 

int employeeid (employee x) {   return(x.id); }

i returned 32665 or along lines. way data l x?

x , b both pointers

x = b pointer assignment, not structure assignment

x pass value parameter, assigning value x inside function has 0 impact on value of x outside function.

try (not solution, step in right direction):

void peek (int position, list *l, item **x) {   item *b;   b = malloc(sizeof(l->items[position]));   *x = b; }

however, value of l->items[position] still not assigned x space.

option 2:

void peek(int position, list *l, item *x) {   *x = l->items[position]; }

this assumes x points malloc'd block of memory. if not, option 3

option 3:

void peek (int position, list *l, item **x) {   item *b;   b = malloc(sizeof(l->items[position]));   *x = b;   *b = l->items[position]; }

java - Copying object fields -

what best way of copying classes when need have 2 independent variables? have simple class: public class myclass { boolean = false; string b= "not empty"; } do need make method : assign(myclass data ) { a= data.a; b= data.b; } is there automatic method copy (duplicate) objects in java? do need make method : pretty close. instead of making method, should make constructor. such constructors called copy constructor , , create them this: myclass(myclass data) { = data.a; b = data.b; } and create copy of instance, use constructor this: myclass obj1 = new myclass(); myclass obj2 = new myclass(obj1); copy constructor can tedious : using copy constructor create deep-copy can tedious, when class has mutable fields. in case, assignment create copy of reference, , not object itself. have create copy of fields (if want deep copy). can go recursive. a better way create deep copy serialize , deserialize object. why not use clone()? ...

c++ - Clear the memory after returning a vector in a function -

-
i have function processes , stores lot of data in , returns results vector of class. amount of data stored in function tremendous , want clear storage memory of function after finished job. necessary (does function automatically clear memory) or should clear memory function? update: vector<customers> process(char* const *filename, vector<int> id) { vector<customers> list_of_customers; (perform actions) return list_of_customers; } variables defined locally within function automatically released @ end of function scope. destructors objects called, should free memory allocated objects (if objects coded correctly). example of such object std::vector . anything you've allocated new must have corresponding delete release storage. try avoid doing own allocation , use raii instead, i.e. containers or smart pointers.
