[SOLVED] GOOD READ -> problems with string arrays in obje

[Abraxas)]

I was wondering if anyone could let me in on some info that may help me solve my problem.

When I break out of my main subroutine, I call:

Code: Select all

device->closeDevice();
device->drop();

If I put a cout after the device->drop() it will immediately display on the console.

But for some reason, after that display the program waits about 10 seconds before exiting. Sometimes it will flood the console with Direct3d9 present failed (but not always, usually only when I click the X (close) windows button).

If I X the console when it's frozen, visual studio lets me know that:

exited with code -1073741510. If I wait about 15 seconds, it exits with code 0.

could thousands-size arrays (single dimension) if irrlicht classes be the problem? could passing the irrlicht pointers by arguments possibly be an issue?

Thanks.

try with

Code: Select all

device->closeDevice();
device->run();
device->drop();

I managed to find the problem.

In a class I was using the type stringw in an array. when I comment out all references to that array the device closes fine.

any ideas on why this is happening? is it a bug?

EDIT: I replaced the stringw array in the object with a std::string from <string>. Console no longer hangs.

Are you not allocating a huge amount of memory and then not freeing it? I have had problem when exiting (e.g. it takes a while), when I did not de-allocate memory properly.
