Question

I am creating a windows app that uses a vector of stings as a member variable. For some reason, I can compile but when it tries to get at any of the vectors members is crashes. the error is 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcdcdcdd9. in the member function of the vector class.

this is the size() function where it breaks.

size_type capacity() const
{ // return current length of allocated storage
  return (this->_Myend - this->_Myfirst);
}

I am using visual studios 2010.

thank you

I’ve come across this kind of thing before. Most likely cause is a corrupt heap.
