I'm making a small file reading and data validation program as part of my TAFE (a tertiary college) course, This includes checking and validating dates.
I decided that it would be best done with a seperate class, rather than integrating it into my main driver class.
The problem is that I'm getting a segmentation fault(core dumped) after my test program runs. Near as I can tell, the error occurs when the program terminates, popping up after the destructor is called. So far I have had no luck finding the cause of this fault, and was hoping that some enlightened soul might show me the error of my ways.

}

size_t whereIs, lastFound;
whereIs = dateIn.find("/");
part1 = dateIn.substr(0, whereIs);
lastFound = whereIs + 1;
whereIs = dateIn.find("/", lastFound);
part2 = dateIn.substr(lastFound, whereIs - lastFound);
lastFound = whereIs + 1;

if (p1 >> date[0]) {

return (p3>>date[2]);
} else {
return false;
}
return false;
}
}
bool date::isLeapYear(int year) {
return ((year % 4) == 0);
}
and Finally, the test program
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include "date.h"
int main() {
date d;
cout << "1/1/1988 before 3/5/1990 [" << d.before("1/1/1988", "3/5/1990")
<< "]\n1/1/1988 before 1/1/1970 [" << d.before("a/a/1988", "1/1/1970")
<<"]\n";
cout << "years between 1/1/1988 and 1/1/1998 ["
<< d.yearsBetween("1/1/1988", "1/1/1998") << "]\n";
cout << "is 1/1/1988 valid [" << d.isValid("1/1/1988") << "]\n"
<< "is 2/13/1988 valid [" << d.isValid("2/13/1988") << "]\n"
<< "is 32/12/1988 valid [" << d.isValid("32/12/1988") << "]\n";
cout << "blerg\n";
}
I've left in some extraneous cout statements, which I've been using to try and locate the error.
I thank you in advance.
