Der von Nate Kohl vorgeschlagene Standardansatz, bei dem nur Vektor, Sortierung + Einzigartigkeit verwendet wird:
sort( vec.begin(), vec.end() );
vec.erase( unique( vec.begin(), vec.end() ), vec.end() );
funktioniert nicht für einen Zeigervektor.
Schauen Sie sich dieses Beispiel auf cplusplus.com genau an .
In ihrem Beispiel werden die an das Ende verschobenen "sogenannten Duplikate" tatsächlich als? (undefinierte Werte), da diese "sogenannten Duplikate" manchmal "zusätzliche Elemente" sind und manchmal "fehlende Elemente" im ursprünglichen Vektor vorhanden sind.
Bei der Verwendung tritt ein Problem auf std::unique() ein Vektor von Zeigern auf Objekte verwendet wird (Speicherlecks, schlechtes Lesen von Daten aus HEAP, doppelte Freigaben, die Segmentierungsfehler verursachen usw.).
Hier ist meine Lösung für das Problem: Ersetzen std::unique()durchptgi::unique() .
Siehe die Datei ptgi_unique.hpp unten:
// ptgi::unique()
//
// Fix a problem in std::unique(), such that none of the original elts in the collection are lost or duplicate.
// ptgi::unique() has the same interface as std::unique()
//
// There is the 2 argument version which calls the default operator== to compare elements.
//
// There is the 3 argument version, which you can pass a user defined functor for specialized comparison.
//
// ptgi::unique() is an improved version of std::unique() which doesn't looose any of the original data
// in the collection, nor does it create duplicates.
//
// After ptgi::unique(), every old element in the original collection is still present in the re-ordered collection,
// except that duplicates have been moved to a contiguous range [dupPosition, last) at the end.
//
// Thus on output:
// [begin, dupPosition) range are unique elements.
// [dupPosition, last) range are duplicates which can be removed.
// where:
// [] means inclusive, and
// () means exclusive.
//
// In the original std::unique() non-duplicates at end are moved downward toward beginning.
// In the improved ptgi:unique(), non-duplicates at end are swapped with duplicates near beginning.
//
// In addition if you have a collection of ptrs to objects, the regular std::unique() will loose memory,
// and can possibly delete the same pointer multiple times (leading to SEGMENTATION VIOLATION on Linux machines)
// but ptgi::unique() won't. Use valgrind(1) to find such memory leak problems!!!
//
// NOTE: IF you have a vector of pointers, that is, std::vector<Object*>, then upon return from ptgi::unique()
// you would normally do the following to get rid of the duplicate objects in the HEAP:
//
// // delete objects from HEAP
// std::vector<Object*> objects;
// for (iter = dupPosition; iter != objects.end(); ++iter)
// {
// delete (*iter);
// }
//
// // shrink the vector. But Object * pointers are NOT followed for duplicate deletes, this shrinks the vector.size())
// objects.erase(dupPosition, objects.end));
//
// NOTE: But if you have a vector of objects, that is: std::vector<Object>, then upon return from ptgi::unique(), it
// suffices to just call vector:erase(, as erase will automatically call delete on each object in the
// [dupPosition, end) range for you:
//
// std::vector<Object> objects;
// objects.erase(dupPosition, last);
//
//==========================================================================================================
// Example of differences between std::unique() vs ptgi::unique().
//
// Given:
// int data[] = {10, 11, 21};
//
// Given this functor: ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen:
// A functor which compares two integers a[i] and a[j] in an int a[] array, after division by 10:
//
// // given an int data[] array, remove consecutive duplicates from it.
// // functor used for std::unique (BUGGY) or ptgi::unique(IMPROVED)
//
// // Two numbers equal if, when divided by 10 (integer division), the quotients are the same.
// // Hence 50..59 are equal, 60..69 are equal, etc.
// struct ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen: public std::equal_to<int>
// {
// bool operator() (const int& arg1, const int& arg2) const
// {
// return ((arg1/10) == (arg2/10));
// }
// };
//
// Now, if we call (problematic) std::unique( data, data+3, ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen() );
//
// TEST1: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,11,21
// TEST1: AFTER UNIQ: 10,21,21
// DUP_INX=2
//
// PROBLEM: 11 is lost, and extra 21 has been added.
//
// More complicated example:
//
// TEST2: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,20,21,22,30,31,23,24,11
// TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,23,24,11
// DUP_INX=5
//
// Problem: 21 and 22 are deleted.
// Problem: 11 and 23 are duplicated.
//
//
// NOW if ptgi::unique is called instead of std::unique, both problems go away:
//
// DEBUG: TEST1: NEW_WAY=1
// TEST1: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,11,21
// TEST1: AFTER UNIQ: 10,21,11
// DUP_INX=2
//
// DEBUG: TEST2: NEW_WAY=1
// TEST2: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,20,21,22,30,31,23,24,11
// TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,22,24,21
// DUP_INX=5
//
// @SEE: look at the "case study" below to understand which the last "AFTER UNIQ" results with that order:
// TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,22,24,21
//
//==========================================================================================================
// Case Study: how ptgi::unique() works:
// Remember we "remove adjacent duplicates".
// In this example, the input is NOT fully sorted when ptgi:unique() is called.
//
// I put | separatators, BEFORE UNIQ to illustrate this
// 10 | 20,21,22 | 30,31 | 23,24 | 11
//
// In example above, 20, 21, 22 are "same" since dividing by 10 gives 2 quotient.
// And 30,31 are "same", since /10 quotient is 3.
// And 23, 24 are same, since /10 quotient is 2.
// And 11 is "group of one" by itself.
// So there are 5 groups, but the 4th group (23, 24) happens to be equal to group 2 (20, 21, 22)
// So there are 5 groups, and the 5th group (11) is equal to group 1 (10)
//
// R = result
// F = first
//
// 10, 20, 21, 22, 30, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F
//
// 10 is result, and first points to 20, and R != F (10 != 20) so bump R:
// R
// F
//
// Now we hits the "optimized out swap logic".
// (avoid swap because R == F)
//
// // now bump F until R != F (integer division by 10)
// 10, 20, 21, 22, 30, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F // 20 == 21 in 10x
// R F // 20 == 22 in 10x
// R F // 20 != 30, so we do a swap of ++R and F
// (Now first hits 21, 22, then finally 30, which is different than R, so we swap bump R to 21 and swap with 30)
// 10, 20, 30, 22, 21, 31, 23, 24, 11 // after R & F swap (21 and 30)
// R F
//
// 10, 20, 30, 22, 21, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F // bump F to 31, but R and F are same (30 vs 31)
// R F // bump F to 23, R != F, so swap ++R with F
// 10, 20, 30, 22, 21, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F // bump R to 22
// 10, 20, 30, 23, 21, 31, 22, 24, 11 // after the R & F swap (22 & 23 swap)
// R F // will swap 22 and 23
// R F // bump F to 24, but R and F are same in 10x
// R F // bump F, R != F, so swap ++R with F
// R F // R and F are diff, so swap ++R with F (21 and 11)
// 10, 20, 30, 23, 11, 31, 22, 24, 21
// R F // aftter swap of old 21 and 11
// R F // F now at last(), so loop terminates
// R F // bump R by 1 to point to dupPostion (first duplicate in range)
//
// return R which now points to 31

Und hier ist das UNIT-Testprogramm, mit dem ich es getestet habe:

// from both a vector<Integer> (test1()) and vector<Integer*> (test2).
