Question

This applies to several cases in my application:

I have 3 or 4 functions that belong together, one is a starting function that creates and frees the required memory structures and calls the other functions as appropriate. The other functions also call themselves repeatedly. Only the starting functions is called from outside, and only once or not at all per application-run.

Currently, I pass pointers to the memory structures from the starting function as function arguments, but the argument list is getting quite long in some cases.

Is there any argument against creating classes for all these cases and making the pointers to the memory structures members?

Answer 1

Definitely go for a class here. That’s what objects and classes are designed for.
