Any ideas what may cause that for the string class to core dump?

Yes: You are accessing out of bounds somewhere.
Run your program with valgrind.

Come on Puzzlecracker, you should know FAQ 5.8 by now.
There is an error on line 42 of your code.
Post a minimal, compileable example that exhibits the behavior in
question.

Argh, I traced why it happened, and modified my code, removing the
stupidity. Here what I had:
void foo(std::string &str)
{
}
void bar(std::string str)
{
foo(str.c_str() );
}
Never used valgrind before. How does it work?

That shouldn't compile. You're trying to bind a non-const reference to
a temporary object (created from the pointer to char you get by calling
the 'c_str()'). That's not allowed. Begin by dialing up the warning
level on your compiler and possibly by disabling extensions you're not
consciously using.
OTOH, there is nothing in this particular code that would cause the
crash. Are you sure you're not trying to access 'c_str' member using an
invalid reference?
Never used valgrind before. How does it work?
It works quite well.

It does, but there is an implicit conversion from char const* to
std::string.
And as Victor said, there's no reason in the code you posted for
anything not to work. You're probably overwriting memory
somewhere else. Valgrind is free; download it and use it.

So, is it 'Foo' or 'foo'? Something makes me think that you're not
posting your real code. See FAQ 5.8.

You start valgrind giving it your program (and its possible
command-line parameters) as parameter (similarly to how you would use
eg. the "time" command), and it will report about a wide variety of
possible errors in your program. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I'm curious about the performance of string::c_str,
so I'm wondering how it's commonly implemented. Do
most std::string implementations just keep an extra

they equally likely to create a new buffer on demand?
I know the standard doesn't require any particular

Hello,
I'm doing an exercise that defines a new abstract class "Str" that has
