terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc '

[Mohsen]

Hello everyone,

In my program, I have to define many pointers and when I want to
compile my program (in UNIX), it gives me the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc '
what(): St9bad_alloc
Abort

I rechecked those pointers; I found I cannot decrease the size of them.
Any idea how I can to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Mohsen

Are you saying your compiler terminates? If so, ask your compiler
vendor.

If you are talking about your program, then you don't have sufficient
memory to allocate whatever you are trying to allocate. If you can't
decrease the size of what you are allocating (or otherwise provide
enough space) and can't add more memory to your computer, then you're
sunk.

Without seeing your code it's impossible to tell what is going on.

I have no idea what you mean by "cannot decrease the size".

During the compile, or while your program is running?

it happens during the compile.

To reiterate: "Are you saying your compiler terminates? If so, ask your
compiler vendor." Or you could ask on a newsgroup dedicated to your
compiler. See:

First guess would be that your compiler is running out of memory. Try closing
as many applications as possible, then try re-compile.

Second guess would be that your compiler is broken... but I don't see how a
bug could result in the throwing of a bad_alloc.

Compiles fine on mine!
