Question

Is there anything speaking against a structure like to following. In Release mode, Visual Studio seems to ignore i < 10 and execute the loop without end. If I set a break point I see that i runs from 0 to 9 and stays at 9 in all further iterations. If I printf i, I get a error after the 10 iteration, because arr only has 10 fields. Very strange. Please help.

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++){
  switch (arr[i].type1){
     case A:
        //something  
        break;

     case B:
        switch (arr[i].type2){
         //something
        }
        break;

     default:
        break;
  }
}

Thanks!

EDIT: I removed all switch statements and replaced them with if statements. Work perfectly now. I still have difficulty believing that I was right and Visual Studio wrong. What about all my other Switch statements in the program? :/

Answer 1

nothing wrong with your example. Perhaps you have some accidental stack-overwriting or something like that in other parts of your code that introduce weird side effects in that place (and no sense making debugging sessions)?
