I’ll take my chance to pop a strictly c/c++ problem … sorry if it’s a problem.
I gather a varied set of indices for minor geometric primitives and they go into the indices-buffer … and a vector of small structs that each holds the parameters for one single draw-call. I use one single but long function to generate it all and uses the vector for the indices-buffer as a reference (not a pointer) as a function-parameter. I start out declaring a couple of auxillery vectors (of unsigned int) to hold indices before I stuff it into the indices-buffer-vector [it will later on be called as the data-pointer indices.data() when it needs to be sent to the graphics-card, no problem].
The function throws a runtime-error … something about “cannot deallocate vector”. Which vector I don’t know, but it’s previously been somewhat associated with the auxillery vectors. When following the debug-trace I’m pointed to the end of the function and not to a particular code-line.
To tighten up on the vector-stuff I’ve moved declarations of the auxillery vectors to the start of the function, and initiated them with there sizes.
When I work on say a pyramid, I collect the key indices (first, count, lowest etc) in the draw-parameters struct, and the indices for the points into the auxillery before taking them further to the large indices-buffer … it’s nitty gritty and easy to get lost, and that’s how I cope …
I don’t clear or delete any vectors. And I’ve switched from using push_back() to initiate the final size and use vector.at() though the problem does not seem like overflow.
The code worked (static arrays & pointers) before switching to pass-by-ref & vectors …
I havn’t got the foggiest clue of what is wrong.
If I should get passed the runtime-error, nothing shows up on the screen - I cannot debug this until I ‘fixed’ the other part. It could be a symptom that the data I generate does not stick all the way to the final buffers.
I hope that one of you may recognize a newbi-error somewhere. (I’m not writing this at home where the code is)
cheers
