Understanding Runtime Errors, Help?
Author
Sometimes I get runtime errors in Visual Studio .Net but I don't understand what it's telling me.
I recently received this one:
By the looks of it you're trying to deference a NULL pointer.
If you're running in debug mode, it should show you the line that it's failing on. Try to stop it from dereferencing the pointer if it's NULL (Or work out why a NULL pointer was getting there).
For example:
could be fixed by one of these:
-----------------------------------------------------

For example:
cMyClass *bob = NULL;// Both of these lines would cause an access violationbob->m_member = 2;bob->Function();could be fixed by one of these:
cMyClass *bob = NULL;// Check for NULL before attempting to access itif(bob != NULL){ bob->m_member = 2; bob->Function();}-----------------------------------------------------
cMyClass *bob = new cMyClass;// 'bob' is no longer NULLbob->m_member = 2;bob->Function();

that would make sence because im story some some classes on a vector.
Declaring it As:
vector<CPlayer*> m_Players;
And creating a new object in the vector like this:
m_Players.push_back(new CPlayer(0.0, 0.0, 1));
Then accessing it like this:
m_Players[0]->Render();
Where did I mess up? Also, how did you know that was the reson for the runtime error?

it may be some internal pointer in the CPlayer class,
which is used during the "render" function...
access violations ( sometimes called segfaults ) are pretty common while you're learning to program. even after you can get them. they almost apply to pointers and accessing parts of memory your program should not access, like the memory allocated to another program.
bottom line, always initialise a pointer, to NULL if not anything else, and check for NULLness before dereferencing. when you produce the final product, you can eliminate such checking if you want

Replace:
m_Players[0]->Render()
With:
m_Players.at(0)->Render()
at() works like [] except it will call an exception if you attempt to access a non-existant member of the vector,.
m_Players[0]->Render()
With:
m_Players.at(0)->Render()
at() works like [] except it will call an exception if you attempt to access a non-existant member of the vector,.
