Question

SOLVED

After I reinstalled my OS (2008 Server) I then noticed that there’s something odd going on within my program.

Here’s the link to part of the source http://phantomworksstudios.com/cpp/ss/sof-odd.h

Here’s the code first:

custom-data.h

class INI_{

public:
const char* error;
stringstream CharToStr2;


Layout layout;      
Settings settings;

string file; 

int OpenFile(string open_file){
    CharToStr2.str("");
    ifstream SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS; 
    CharToStr2<<open_file;
    cout<<"CharToStr: "<<CharToStr2<<endl;
    cout<<"CharToStr.str(): "<<CharToStr2.str()<<endl; 
    cout<<"CharToStr.str.c_str(): "<<CharToStr2.str().c_str()<<endl;

    SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS.open(CharToStr2.str().c_str());
        if(!SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS){
        CharToStr2<<" is currupt or not found!. Loading default configuration!";
        cout<<"STRING1:"<<CharToStr2<<endl<<endl;
        cout<<"STRING2:"<<CharToStr2.str()<<endl<<endl;
        cout<<"STRING3:"<<CharToStr2.str().c_str()<<endl<<endl;
        error=CharToStr2.str().c_str(); 
        cout<<"ERROR:"<<error<<endl;   
        }
    cout <<"CLASS INI_: "<<SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS<<" : "<<file<<endl<<endl;
    }
};

INI_ SourceStudioConfiguration;

    User_Path=InfoBuf;
//      cout<<InfoBuf<<endl<<endl;
    CharToStr<<InfoBuf<<"\\Source Studio\\preference.ini";
    preference=CharToStr.str();

Now for some reason after SSMAIN_RTFCONTROL=CreateWindow("RICHEDIT","... when I display cout<<"CREATE 300:"<<SourceStudioConfiguration.error<<endl<<endl; the text is all random text. Now if I used the same thing before SSMAIN_RTFCONTROL=CreateWindow("RICHEDIT","... it will display correctly like it should.

My question is why is it doing that?

Also if I ignore SSMAIN_RTFCONTROL=CreateWindow("RICHEDIT","... as comment it will work like it should but then after some more lines on the cmd window it will display as random text again.

Is there something going on that I don’t see? Like too much info going on where it start to mess with the error space and maybe setting something within it and it shouldn’t?

Also as far as I can remember I didn’t have this problem before I reinstalled my os.

Thanks and I’m really confused about this and if you need anymore info let me know and I’ll post them

Also guys I tried to format the code by applying spaces like it said, but at times it doesn’t allow any spaces in front of the line and other times it does so I don’t know what’s up with that.

Answer 1

ok guys here’s the solution even though I don’t know why if that makes any sense…

class INI_{    

    public:
    const char* error;
    stringstream CharToStr2;
    string errordesc;
    Layout layout;      
    Settings settings;  
    string file; 

    int OpenFile(string open_file){
    CharToStr2.str("");
    ifstream SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS; 
    CharToStr2<<open_file;
    cout<<"CharToStr: "<<CharToStr2<<endl;
    cout<<"CharToStr.str(): "<<CharToStr2.str()<<endl; 
    cout<<"CharToStr.str.c_str(): "<<CharToStr2.str().c_str()<<endl;

    SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS.open(CharToStr2.str().c_str());
    if(!SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS){
        CharToStr2<<" is currupt or not found!. Loading default configuration!";
        cout<<"STRING1:"<<CharToStr2<<endl<<endl;
        cout<<"STRING2:"<<CharToStr2.str()<<endl<<endl;
        cout<<"STRING3:"<<CharToStr2.str().c_str()<<endl<<endl;
        errordesc=CharToStr2.str();
        error=errordesc.c_str(); 
        cout<<"ERROR:"<<error<<endl;   
    }
    cout <<"CLASS INI_: "<<SSMAIN_FILE_SETTINGS<<" : "<<file<<endl<<endl;
}
};

Noticed that I added a variable string errordesc and assigned the source stream to that, then assigned errordesc to error
