This function loads info from a binary data file, then loads objects
(currently 23 in the test file). Here is the loading function:
bool UnitDefLoad(cha r* sFile)
{
UnitDefCleanLis t(false); // tested. This works.
int iUnitCount = 0;
UNIT_DEF uData; // Theses objects are read from file
ifstream fin(sFile,ios:: binary);
if (!fin)
{
return false;
} // end if
else
{
fin.read((char* ) &Unit_Def_Node: :Arthur, sizeof
(Unit_Def_Node: :Arthur));
fin.read((char* ) &Unit_Def_Node: :iMonth, sizeof
(Unit_Def_Node: :iMonth));
fin.read((char* ) &Unit_Def_Node: :iDay, sizeof
(Unit_Def_Node: :iDay));
fin.read((char* ) &Unit_Def_Node: :iYear, sizeof
(Unit_Def_Node: :iYear));
fin.read((char* ) &Unit_Def_Node: :Description, sizeof
(Unit_Def_Node: :Description));
fin.read((char* ) &Unit_Def_Node: :iVersion, sizeof
(Unit_Def_Node: :iVersion));
fin.read((char* ) &Unit_Def_Node: :iBuild, sizeof
(Unit_Def_Node: :iBuild));
fin.read((char* ) &iUnitCount, sizeof (iUnitCount));
for (int iCount = 1; iCount < iUnitCount; iCount++)
{
fin.read((char* ) &uData, sizeof (uData));
UnitDefADD(uDat a);
cout << "Number of Unit_Def_Nodes: " << iUnitsDefined << "\n";
}; // end for
};
fin.close();
return true;
};
I believe the problem is the
fin.read((char* ) &uData, sizeof (uData));
in the for loop. I have 23 UNIT_DEF objects saved in the file. After
the 23rd object is loaded, it exits the loop and crashes... if I
comment out the above line, the program works fine. Is there
something wrong with my syntax?

I don't see anything wrong with your syntax, but the syntax is not where the
problem lies. If you don't supply a complete example, it is hard for anyone
to help you. I doubt that anyone else browsing this group knows what
Unit_Def_Node is, what a UNIT_DEF is, what UnitDefADD does, what the file
contains, etc. The best advice you can get from your current post is "use a
debugger".

The second best advice would be to check to see if the calls to read()
actually succeed. The third best would be to use a text file instead of a
binary file so it's easier to follow.

Hi,
assert and error handling can be used for similar purposes.
When should one use assert instead of try/catch and in which
cases the error handling is preferable?
I've read somewhere that assert could be used to start
an interactive debugger automatically. How do I realize that
on a Linux machine using gcc?

In general, is it considered bad practice to use asserts in production
code?
What about writing a macro that does the same as assert but continues
to work regardless of the state of NDEBUG?
I can see that it would be poor style to use it for commonly
encountered errors, but what about truly exceptional errors that would
rarely if ever be encountered?

Sometimes, I can't think of any good reason why I should have the

and printing "Uh, oh" to the screen. I also think that in most cases
there's simply no way to handle an exception properly, because what can
one do about an integer overflow? Reassign values? Restart the program?
The problem will still be existing. I think that an integer overflow is

So I have some assert statements in my code to verify the absence of

was "impossible", I didn't catch the exception so the whole program
crashed. I don't know what I'd have done with the exception anyway,

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
