Tried to trace, but did not find a reason why the following code is giving "Access violation" in VC++, and segmentation fault in gcc..
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
typedef struct node
{
std::string data;
vector <struct node*> child;
}NODE, *PNODE;
int main()
{
PNODE head;
head = (PNODE) malloc(sizeof(NODE));
head->data.assign("hi");
printf("data %s", head->data.c_str());
getchar();
}
And why on earth do you think it should work? You use malloc
, rather than new
, so no constructors are called, and everything you do accesses uninitialized memory.
Use new
rather than malloc
to create C++ objects on the heap.
The following:
head = (PNODE) malloc(sizeof(NODE));
should read
head = new NODE;
The reason malloc()
doesn't work here is that it doesn't call object constructors.
I agree with previous answers.
I should add that it's best practice to avoid using namespace
(see here )
And in C++, avoid using C-like struct declaration :
typedef struct node
{
std::string data;
vector child;
}NODE, *PNODE;
should be:
struct Node
{
std::string data;
std::vector<Node> child;
}
then:
Node head;
or:
Node* head = new Node;
If you are using c++, use std::cout
instead of printf
There are c++ cast operator too : dynamic_cast
, static_cast
, const_cast
, reinterpret_cast
(see here )
