Hi everyone,
I am not quite sure whether this is on or off-topic but here goes anyway.
In school we unfortunately use Turbo C++ v3.0 for our C++ development work
(at least not Visual C++, I should be thankful). So I tested my machine
problem (or whatever's finished of it) using Turbo C++. Things work great.
On my Linux box, which has both g++ 2.95.4 (20010902) and 3.0.2
(20010908), though, the program segfaults.
I compile the program using any of the following and get consistent
results:
$ g++ -Wall -o mp mp.cpp
$ g++-3.0 -Wall -o mp mp.cpp
$ gcc -Wall -o mp mp.cpp
$ gcc-3.0 -Wall -o mp mp.cpp
It's interesting to note that none of these return errors, and it doesn't
matter whether I use g++ or gcc despite the fact that the program uses
classes.
Using what very little I know of gdb, I "debugged"[1] it and found that it
segfaults in card::value_(), which is a function in class card. Nothing
great about this function: it simply returns the value of a private
variable that I don't want modifiable after the constructor function does
its work.
My hunch is that things are breaking with my pointers. In particular I
have an array of pointers to "class card". I use pointers instead of
simply "class card"s so that I can subsequently change any element by
deleting it then creating a new card.
Any known issues with pointers to classes in Linux? Or pointers to classes
in general?
Gracias mi amigos y amigas! :)
--> Jijo
Notes:
[1] I debugged the program by doing the following:
$ gdb ./mp
$ run
And it returns:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0804965e in card::value_ ()
