Hi
I have a really weird bug. An object in my program contains a
std::stack<T>. When push is called, the program crashes. To eliminate
that the error has to do with what is pushed, I create a new local
stack that has nothing to do with any other code. Then I push a 5 and
the program crashes. In detail, i added
stack<doubleane wstack; // Code that has nothing to do with the
rest of the program
anewstack.push( 5);
instead of the call to the other stack (that call I out-commented). If
I remove "irrelevant " code the bug disappears so I can't provide a
small complete program that generates the bug.
Does anyone have any clue how this kind of bug can appear, and be
resolved? Below some output from the debugger. I'm working in Sun
Solaris on a Sun X-Ray computer.

Ok. I have a theory: Somewhere I write outside allocated memory. This
corrupts data malloc needs for allocation, and hence an ordinary buffer
overflow causes malloc to crash later on.

Yep, that was going to be my suggestion. Most bugs of this type (I change
something that should absolutely have nothing to do with it and the behavior
changes) has to do with corrputed memory. You wrote somewhere you shouldn't
of. Buffer over, unallocated pointer, etc...

Ever thought that the code you removed might not be irrelevant at all? :-)
This is something that very much looks like undefined behavior. You have
done something wrong before which now causes a crash. That's the bad thing
with undefined behavior: your program might run, but it might also crash at
any time.

Look for the bug in your program. Those generally include free/delete-ing
memory twice, falling off the end of a non-void function and so on...
You should turn on all compiler warnings, it might help. If there is some
sort of memory debugger for your platform, it might also be helpful.

Dear C++ Experts,
Over the last couple of months I have been writing my first program
using shared memory. It has been something of an "in-at-the-deep-end"

few fixed-size structs, but I really need to be able to store more
complex variable-sized data in there. So the next task is to work out
how to store C++ objects, and if possible STL containers, in this

Hi,
in my program, I have to sort containers of objects which can be 2000
items big in some cases. Since STL containers are based around copying
and since I need to sort these containers quite frequently, I thought
it'd be a better idea to manage additional containers which are
initialized with pointers to the objects in the primary containers and
sort those (only pointers have to be copied around then).
However, that also means if I...

Hi,
Given:
1) Custom containers that have nothing to do with vector, deque, list,
map etc,
2) a custom version of new and delete defined for these containers,
customNew and customDelete, say. When an item is to be inserted/removed
into/from these custom containers, customNew and customDelete is
called.

Just a simple theoritical question to the experts.
What was the rationale behind making STL containers follow copy
semantics rather than reference semantics. References almost always
make things easier without much of overhead. Then why not reference ?
Thanks

Hi list,
Most STL containers are storing their data on the heap. (although some
std::string implementations are notable exceptions) Of course, using
the heap as storage increases flexibility and allows the handling of
much bigger amounts of data. However, there are cases where this turns
out to be inefficient for at least two reasons: A) Allocations and
deallocations on heap are much slower. B) Memory access on stack is
more cache...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
