I am writing a test program to understand vector's better. In one of the scenarios, I am trying to insert a value into the vector at a specified position. The code compiles clean. However, on execution, it is throwing a Segmentation Fault from the v8.insert(..) line (see code below). I am confused. Can somebody point me to what is wrong in my code?
#define UNIT_TEST(x) assert(x)
#define ENSURE(x) assert(x)
#include <vector>
typedef std::vector< int > intVector;
typedef std::vector< int >::iterator intVectorIterator;
typedef std::vector< int >::const_iterator intVectorConstIterator;
intVectorIterator find( intVector v, int key );
void test_insert();
intVectorIterator
find( intVector v, int key )
{
for( intVectorIterator it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++it )
{
if( *it == key )
{
return it;
}
}
return v.end();
}
void
test_insert()
{
const int values[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
const size_t valuesLength = sizeof( values ) / sizeof( values[ 0 ] );
size_t index = 0;
const int insertValue = 5;
intVector v8;
for( index = 0; index < valuesLength; ++index )
{
v8.push_back( values[ index ] );
}
ENSURE( v8.size() == valuesLength );
for( index = 0; index < valuesLength; ++index )
{
printf( "index = %u\n", index );
intVectorIterator it = find( v8, values[ index ] );
ENSURE( it != v8.end() );
ENSURE( *it == values[ index ] );
// intVectorIterator itToInsertedItem =
v8.insert( it, insertValue ); // line 51
// UNIT_TEST( *itToInsertedItem == insertValue );
}
}
int main()
{
test_insert();
return 0;
}
$ ./a.out
index = 0
