Guys, very nasty problem here, need your help.

I'm using Code::Blocks and C++ and when I press F9 to "Build and Run", the game starts and I can play, everything is fine.

But when I start it from the .exe file in my debug folder( all .dlls are there ), the game starts and crashes in 3 seconds.

I did some research on the stack: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/186237/program-only-crashes-as-release-build-how-to-debug

and it seems that most of the time it happens is because of a wrong variable initialization.

By using good old printf, I traced the problem to this class here. And the program crashes somewhere in the constructor. I can't even use a debugger because it works perfectly fine in CodeBlocks....

Nevermind, here is the header and then the .cpp file, watch for a wrong initialization somewhere:

class ResourceManager
{
private:

    // Load models
    Model fpsArmsIdle = Model( "models/fpsRig/armsIdle.dae" );
    Model fpsArmsPunch = Model( "models/fpsRig/armsAttack.dae" );
    Model ball = Model( "models/bullets/ball.obj" );
    Model humanRun = Model( "models/guyWithSuit/suitGuyIdle2.fbx" );
    Model humanKnockdown = Model("models/human/humanKnockdown.dae");
    Model humanDead = Model("models/human/humanDead.dae");

    vector<const GLchar*> skyboxTextures;
    vector<Model*> firstPersonAnims;
    vector<Model*> humanAnims;


public:

    ResourceManager();
    ~ResourceManager();

    Model mapClassic = Model( "maps/map_classic/classicmap.obj" );
    Model floor = Model( "models/floor/floor.obj" );
    Model lamp = Model( "models/lamp/lamp.obj" );
    Model box = Model( "models/ka6on/ka6on.obj" );

    void loadResources();

    vector<const GLchar*> getSkyboxTextures();
    vector<Model*> getFirstPersonAnims();
    vector<Model*> getHumanAnims();

};

And the constructor that crashes the game:

//The headers
#include "resourcemanager.h"


ResourceManager::ResourceManager()
{
    loadResources();
}

ResourceManager::~ResourceManager()
{
    ;
}

vector<Model*> ResourceManager::getHumanAnims()
{
    return humanAnims;
}

vector<Model*> ResourceManager::getFirstPersonAnims()
{
    return firstPersonAnims;
}

vector<const GLchar*> ResourceManager::getSkyboxTextures()
{
    return skyboxTextures;
}

void ResourceManager::loadResources()
{
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/right.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/left.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/top.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/bottom.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/back.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/front.tga" );

    firstPersonAnims.push_back( &fpsArmsIdle );
    firstPersonAnims.push_back( &fpsArmsPunch );
    firstPersonAnims.push_back( &ball );

    humanAnims.push_back( &humanRun );
    humanAnims.push_back( &humanKnockdown );
    humanAnims.push_back( &humanDead );
}

If all seems legit, then there is my App class that could be wrong, but I'm sure there are a lot of wrong things going on here.

Basically, I don't know when to use vector of pointers to objects, and when vector of objects, maybe this is where I go wrong somewhere.

Did it. Now my program crashes in the IDE too.

EDIT: Ok, my idea is to have a ResourceManager class, or maybe more precisely, ResourceLoader class. It loads all the models and stuff, and when I need some object, I pass a pointer to that object. That's why I need the vector of pointers.

Guys, this initialization in the header file and out of the constructor seems to be a new C++11 thing.

I traced the crash completely, it happens when Ioad th 4th or 5th model. It seems like the class doesn't have enough space or something. Can it be a compiler bug?

The problem is I don't get error messages, it compiles perfectly fine. But I can't run the .exe file. And it crashes in the middle of loading the objects. Exactly here:

void ResourceManager::loadResources()
{
    // Load models
    objects.push_back( Model( "maps/map_classic/classicmap.obj" ) );
    objects.push_back( Model( "models/floor/floor.obj" ) );
    objects.push_back( Model( "models/lamp/lamp.obj" ) ); //Crashes exactly after loading this model.
                                                          //And it's not because of the model because I swapped it with another and it still crashes
                                                          //In the compiler everything works fine. Only the .exe crashes here.
    objects.push_back( Model( "models/ka6on/ka6on.obj" ) );

    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/right.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/left.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/top.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/bottom.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/back.tga" );
    skyboxTextures.push_back( "maps/skyboxes/nebula/front.tga" );

    firstPersonAnims.push_back( Model( "models/fpsRig/armsIdle.dae" ) );
    firstPersonAnims.push_back( Model( "models/fpsRig/armsAttack.dae" ) );
    firstPersonAnims.push_back( Model( "models/bullets/ball.obj" ) );

    humanAnims.push_back( Model( "models/guyWithSuit/suitGuyIdle2.fbx" ) );
    humanAnims.push_back( Model("models/human/humanKnockdown.dae") );
    humanAnims.push_back( Model("models/human/humanDead.dae") );
}

There is nothing wrong with the model, because I tried swapping the models and it still crashes after some of them are loaded. Seems that there isn't enough space somewhere.
