Vector Troubles in C++
- by DistortedLojik
I am currently working on a project that deals with a vector of objects of a People class. The program compiles and runs just fine, but when I use the debugger it dies when trying to do anything with the PersonWrangler object. I currently have 3 different classes, one for the person, a personwrangler which handles all of the people collectively, and a game class that handles the game input and output.
Edit: My basic question is to understand why it is dying when it calls outputPeople. Also I would like to understand why my program works exactly as it should unless I use the debugger. The outputPeople function works the way I intended that way.
Edit 2: The callstack has 3 bad calls which are:
std::vector ::begin(this=0xbaadf00d)
std::vector ::size(this=0xbaadf00d)
PersonWrangler::outputPeople(this=0xbaadf00d)
Relevant code:
class Game
{
public:
Game();
void gameLoop();
void menu();
void setStatus(bool inputStatus);
bool getStatus();
PersonWrangler* hal;
private:
bool status;
};
which calls outputPeople where it promptly dies from a baadf00d error.
void Game::menu()
{
hal->outputPeople();
}
where hal is an object of PersonWrangler type
class PersonWrangler
{
public:
PersonWrangler(int inputStartingNum);
void outputPeople();
vector<Person*> peopleVector;
vector<Person*>::iterator personIterator;
int totalPeople;
};
and the outputPeople function is defined as
void PersonWrangler::outputPeople()
{
int totalConnections = 0;
cout << " Total People:" << peopleVector.size() << endl;
for (unsigned int i = 0;i < peopleVector.size();i++)
{
sort(peopleVector[i]->connectionsVector.begin(),peopleVector[i]->connectionsVector.end());
peopleVector[i]->connectionsVector.erase( unique (peopleVector[i]->connectionsVector.begin(),peopleVector[i]->connectionsVector.end()),peopleVector[i]->connectionsVector.end());
peopleVector[i]->outputPerson();
totalConnections+=peopleVector[i]->connectionsVector.size();
}
cout << "Total connections:" << totalConnections/2 << endl;
}
