Hi

I am getting this error when running a very similar code like the
below, it is made for illustration only.

thanks

The only issue I see is that you don't initialize
max_weekly_withdraw,when I compile & run output looks fine:

martin@jordaan:~$ ./hello
jack: 1.1 mary: 1.2 sam: 1.3 job: 1.4
jack: 2.2 mary: 2.4 sam: 2.6 job: 2.8
jack: 3.3 mary: 3.6 sam: 3.9 job: 4.2
jack: 4.4 mary: 4.8 sam: 5.2 job: 5.6

std::bad_alloc is an exception that gets thrown by 'new' when it can't
allocate the memory you requested. Something (very likely the standard
library containers you are using) is requesting memory, and that memory
can't be allocated.

You should either change your memory usage patterns so that enough
memory is available to satisfy all the requests, or catch bad_alloc and
handle it in some appropriate way (or preferably, both).

push_back the addresses of the objects into the vector instead of the

Hi,

Instead, *if* you had a default constructor in acc_holder, you could
have written:

vector<acc_holderfund_participanets;
fund_participanets.push_back(jack);
fund_participanets.push_back(mary);
fund_participanets.push_back(sam);
fund_participanets.push_back(job);

And change -into . in the loop.

The point is in FAQ 8.6:
(http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit...s.html#faq-8.6)
"Use references when you can, and pointers when you have to."

[snipped stack trace and demo program]

That program looks okay and will NOT throw std::bad_alloc. First rule
is to post a program that contains the behaviour you want to
demonstrate. Since you did not do that, it is impossible to help you.
Most probably you are overwriting memory somewhere in your program. The
"solution" you show in anither post on this thread is not really a
solution, but a rearrangement of code that makes the problem disappear
- for a while!

Kind regards
