Hi everyone !! i have an interesting problem...hope you people can help. I am coding in C. the code is posted below: here is how I define my structure.... Code: ( text ) Code: 1. struct IDnTime 2. { 3. vector<char *> s; 4. vector<char *> g; 5. struct tm theTime; 6. struct tm *ptr; 7. time_t t; 8. } IDnTimeArray[50]; Next I inititalize few char variables and then point them with the pointers like thisthis I did to avoid pushing characters themselves in the vectors....now this should allow me to push the addresses of the characters or the poiters to thode characters in the vector) Code: ( text ) Code: 1. char Walk ='w',Bike ='b',Car ='c',UrbanPuT ='u',Rail ='r',Notdecided ='n',Activity ='a'; 2. char *walk =&Walk, *bike =&Bike, *car =&Car, *urbanPuT =&UrbanPuT, *rail =&Rail, *notdecided =&Notdecided, *activity =&Activity; Then i try to push back like this Code: ( text ) Code: 1. IDnTimeArray[counter1].s.push_back(&Activity); 2. IDnTimeArray[counter1].s.push_back(&Walk); and so on.......76,000 character addresses in the vector 's'..and similarly for the vector g as well Code: ( text ) Code: 1. IDnTimeArray[counter1].g.push_back(&Activity); 2. IDnTimeArray[counter1].g.push_back(&Walk); the program compiles fine...gr8..then I run it ..it runs for 2 or three seconds ...gr8...then as the pushing back operation in the 's' vector of the array of the structures is completed and the g vector is started it stops .....when I run it on my computer the process it terminated here is Code: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_all Aborted i dont get this .....PLEASE HELPi dont get this .....PLEASE HELP Also few may ask whether I try to fill all the 's' and 'g' vectors of the 50 structure array locations together....... the answer is NO!...first I approach each structure array element and then i try to fill the s and g vectors of that location(whch is not allowed and the message displayed i mentioned above)...then as i finsh my desired function with these vectors I clear these vectors by Code: ( text ) Code: 1. IDnTimeArray[counter1].s.clear(); 2. IDnTimeArray[counter1].g.clear(); So the memory is freed...... HELP HELP
