Problem with vector<double> alocation

[Ivan Paganini]

Hello all.
I'm trying to use a vector<double> to alocate de data that i need, and
I am passing by reference to the function to receive the values. The
code goes like this:
//code
void GenerateRandomP ositions(vector <double>& posiX, vector<double>&
posiY, int nbneurons, int* sizespace)
{posiX.clear();
posiY.clear();

for(i=0;i<NbNeu rons;i++)
{
posiX.push_back ((double)(rand( )%sizespace[0]+1));
posiY.push_back ((double)(rand( )%sizespace[1]+1));
}
}

//end code

where i need the values of posiX and posiY returned to the program.
The size of NbNeurons is about 10, and sizespace is a number that the
program gets from the number of coordinates in my database. When i try
to run the program, i get the segmentation fault. What can be the
problem?

Thanks.

The problem is most likely in 'sizespace'. Since you don't show
how you call your 'GenerateRandom Positions' function, there is no
way to tell what specifically is going on.

BTW, using '%' with the result of calling 'rand' is not a good idea.
See comp.lang.c FAQ for the explanation why and what to use instead.

}
}
int main()
{

int ss[2] = { 100, 200 };
vector< double > px, py;

GenerateRandomP ositions( px, py, 10, ss );

std::copy(
px.begin(), px.end(),
std::ostream_it erator< double >( std::cout, "," )
);
std::cout << "\n";

std::copy(
py.begin(), py.end(),
std::ostream_it erator< double >( std::cout, "," )
);
std::cout << std::endl;
}

After fixing 1 error (spelling) and adding main() the above
compiles and runs.
