C++ Beginner Delete Question
- by Pooch
Hi all,
This is my first year learning C++ so bear with me. I am attempting to dynamically allocate memory to the heap and then delete the allocated memory. Below is the code that is giving me a hard time:
// String.cpp
#include "String.h"
String::String() {}
String::String(char* source)
{
this->Size = this->GetSize(source);
this->CharArray = new char[this->Size + 1];
int i = 0;
for (; i < this->Size; i++) this->CharArray[i] = source[i];
this->CharArray[i] = '\0';
}
int String::GetSize(const char * source)
{
int i = 0;
for (; source[i] != '\0'; i++);
return i;
}
String::~String()
{
delete[] this->CharArray;
}
Here is the error I get when the compiler tries to delete the CharArray:
0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xccccccc0.
And here is the last call on the stack:
msvcr100d.dll!operator delete(void * pUserData) Line 52 + 0x3 bytes C++
I am fairly certain the error exists within this piece of code but will provide you with any other information needed. Oh yeah, using VS 2010 for XP.
Thanks for any and all help!
