Re: Question about "size_" of RouteLogic

[K Sun <ksun@essex.ac.uk>]

Hello, 
     Thanks for your message. In the constructor of RouteLogic, I 
find the default value of "size_" should be 0. However, when I use gdb 
to trace the process, I find the "size_" at the begining of  "compute" 
(RouteLogic) has been set to 16. I can not find where the "size_" has 
been set to 16. Is there anybody who find where the "size_" has been 
reset?
    In addition, following the instporc "run" of "Simulator", I did not 
find any call for "alloc(int n)" of RouteLogic. From the 
outcome, the alloc should be called before "compute" has been called. 
Or else, the ADJ matrix would not be right!
    Finally, it seems, in "compute", the distance of a route has not 
been kept in ADJ martix and only the route has been kepte in ROUTE 
martix. I am not sure of my understanding. 
      
     Thanks in advance!
