Hi,

I am getting the following error in my code.

malloc: *** error for object 0x3b0fe80: double free
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

When i debug it and do a backtrace i get the following

#0  0x90c994a9 in malloc_error_break ()

I am not sure is it a memory leak because in my code i am clearing the vectors using clear() function everytime. I wish to know the probable causes for the error and where to look in the code.

Any help is appreciated

If you can its best to post the code that caused the error.

Hi,

Following is my code.

Is there something wrong in my code.

post the class declaration so that we know how those objects are declared

The only errors I got were unresolved functions (because they were not coded, so that was no surprise) and undeclared variable numgates. Below is what I compiled using VC++ 2008 Express. What compiler are you using?

i am using g++ compiler. I am sorry about the missing variables and functions. The code is so big that would not be possible to post the complete code. since the backtrace gave error in this function i posted that function.

Oh I see. So you spent hours and hours writing code without bothering to compile it even once :icon_eek: Even experienced programmers will not do what you did.

My suggestion is to start all over again. But this time just write a little bit, compile, correct all errors, the write a little bit more. Repeat that until you are finished.

oh no..i did not mean that....sorry for the confusion. i have written the complete code and compiled it and ran it on many benchmark...in fact the error i get is for bigger benhmarks only.....

..in fact i have rechecked my code many times to make sure there are no errors....
