Question

I’m trying to use a list in a struct I have like this:

typedef struct _MS
{
    DWORD id;
    std::list<std::wstring> titles;
} MS;

But I’m having some problems when I try to use it.

When I look at it under the debugger at runtime ‘titles = 0xcdcdcdcd’, and when I try to call _iterator = MS.titles.begin() it fails with a memory access violation.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The value 0xcdcdcdcd is used by the MS compiler to mark memory that has been deleted.

Your problem is likely not with std::list, but with using a pointer to a deleted object.
