It is my understanding that if you contain vectors or maps you don't
need to create copy constructors because the default calls that
constructor. It is my understanding that if you use these types you
don't have to worry about them at all...even if the contents of your
map or vector may contain other maps or vectors. Am I mistaken in any
way?
We are running into a very strange bug that is avoiding detection by
hiding in the default allocator of std::vector. The crash occurs when
push_back reaches a point where it actually deletes the current vector
after creating the new one. None of the types contained within the
vector contain pointers they manage (there are std containers in one of
the eventual contents). Luckily this bug also doesn't happen if the
program is started in the debugger.

Right, as long as you don't have any of them holding pointers they will
take care of everything for you.

You have a memory overwrite somewhere in your code, you are going to
have to go through it by eye and find out where an invalid pointer is
being dereferenced. IMPORTANT: the bug probably is *not* in the code
that crashes, or anywhere near it.

Well, if your maps and vectors contain (by any level of indirection)
pointers of unknown origin, life gets harder.

Just a wild speculation: maybe you keep an iterator that gets invalidated in
the reallocation of the vector. That could be an iterator to the vector
itself or to any container indirectly stored therein.
Do you have code you could post that shows the problem?

I don't believe so. Nothing obvious anyway.

No, program is huge and proprietery and like Daniel said, it could be
anywhere; I really think something out there is hosing a buffer
somewhere and this vector is always in the way...which is odd
but...well I have no idea. I wasn't really expecting to be able to be
helped ;) Only if I was wrong about the above and I was damn sure I
wasn't but there was some discussion about it.
Luckily this bug also doesn't happen if the program is started in the

Perhaps your compiler is initializing memory when under debug, but not when
compiling optimized. I know MSVC allows this to be modified for debug builds
and/or allows generation of debug info for release/optimized builds. You may
be able to track down the problem in either of these modes.

It was definately a buffer overrun. Heap corruption caused by someone
doing something like:
char * p = new char[strlen(x) + y];
char * p2 = new char[strlen(p) + y];
Don't ask me why that was in there...obvious ly a typo of some sort but

Hello,
I was looking at Meyers's "Effective STL", item 23
about choosing between vectors and maps (at least
that the choice for me). In many cases, using
sorted vectors is faster for lookups. The two
reasons are (1) that vector elements are smaller,
since map elements need at least 3 pointers, and
(2) contiguity of vector elements in memory ensure
fewer page faults.

Hi
I would like to transform the result of a csv-string (eg.:
"name,age\nstring,int\nMac,23\nMax,24\nMike,78") into a map of vectors
map<string, vector<???> >.
The key of the map will be the fieldname (name or age) and the values
are stored as vectors in the indicated type (string, int). Like this i
can call: result (= a string "Mac") or result (=
an int of val 23)
