How do you create your CMainGame object? Put a breakpoint in your CMainGame constructor and your CMainGame::OnUpdate funtion and make sure the constructor is called before CMainGame::OnUpdate is called.
Looks like you aren't creating the CMainGame object before calling methods on it.
Just as a curiosity but you do include CMainGame in the cpp file of CMainCharacter right? Because as soon as you want to use any of the function of CMainGame in CMainCharacter it needs to know the type properly so you can't call any function on it in the header.
Also are you compiling debug or release, because if you are in release the Camera function and AI update function calls before hand can invalidate the debuggers view of the this pointer, and you will have to inspect the disassembly to see which register is holding the this pointer to obtain valid values for it.

basically all I am trying to do is add controls functions to the MainCharacter class. I might be doing it wrong but in my engine I just inherit controls class into the main engine class. Ill just stop inheriting it and create it manually in my game, and pass that into the MainCharacter class.
I have just managed to fix it :) Thank you all for help. Problem wasn't with controls but with something else in my class :x Something very silly
Could you explain what the problem was so that people looking at the same problem in the future can find the solution?

I've rewritten controls a little bit but this was the problem:
CMainCharacter::CMainCharacter(CPhysics* Physics, collisionListener* theCollisionListener, controls* passedControls)
{
theControls = passedControls;
theCollisionListener = theCollisionListener;
....
theCollisionListener was set to itself instead of
this->theCollisionListener = theCollisionListener;
Then it was breaking on
if (theControls->isKeyHold(SDLK_a)) ///this line!
