Is anybody familiar with this error?

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Abort (core dumped)


I yahooed and googled them but apparently, no information was available. [Edited by - Tradone on April 3, 2006 10:07:20 PM]

That is one of the standard exception classes. You are constructing an std::string with a null character pointer. Can you post your code?


jfl.
it's about 25 files all together. urm... do I have to still post it?

can you give me an example of what might have been done?
and where can I get information on standard runtime errors like those?
i searched them in the engines and i got no matches. :(
okay, i fixed it

Error:
Function Parameter::GetData(){	long count = 0;	inputData = "";	char ch;	while (count < envVars.contentLength){		cin.get(ch);		inputData += ch;		count++;	}	if (inputData == "" )		return Failure;	return Success;}



No Error:
Function Parameter::GetData(){	long count = 0;	inputData = "";	char ch;	while (count < envVars.contentLength){		cin.get(ch);		inputData += ch;		count++;	}	return Success;}



Difference:
	if (inputData == "" )		return Failure;


Thanks!
and if you can just leave me a reference site for the runtime errors.
If you still want to check if it's a failure, simply check the string's length (>0).
Now, is the compiler assuming that "" is NULL? I thought it would be considered as {'\0'} or something like that...

What are Function, Failure, and Success? Is inputData an std::string?

Well, we don't even know what inputData, Success, Failure or Function are, so it's hard to pinpoint what he may be doing wrong.

No.

Yes.

Sorry, but I'm still not getting it. How does that conditional have anything to do with NULL character array initialization?

Well, there's always MSDN, but it looks like you're using something like GCC, so maybe the libstdc++ reference.


jfl.
Function Parameter::GetData(){	long count = 0;	inputData = "";	char ch;	while (count < envVars.contentLength){		cin.get(ch);		inputData += ch;		count++;	}	if (inputData == "" )		return Failure;	return Success;}Function Parameter::SetParameter(){	string s;	if (!GetData())		return Failure;	s  = inputData + "&";

[lol]
Seems like I left you guys all puzzled for not showing the whole thing.
okay. here it is.

So the I found out that Parameter::SetParameter() was the method with fault.

Thus, by adding
	if (inputData == "" )		return Failure;


I don't have to execute this code.
	s  = inputData + "&";


and inputData is a private member variable of the class Parameter.

So since inputData = ""
I am trying to do
s = "" + "&"
