what's the reason of my code? a unhandled exception

debug src: http://www.cppblog.com/Files/mymsdn/cvector-bug-vs2008-201007101651.zip

Hey all, I have repair my code, thanks yours help! You can download the correct version of my code.

src: http://www.cppblog.com/Files/mymsdn/cvector-vs2008-20100710.rar

I am trying to write a C language version of vector. I use the void ** a the pRoot indicate the pointer vector. I want to keep the void ** p available, than I malloc a memory.

like this :cvector_ptr_ptr = &cvector_ptr;

I pass the cvector_ptr_ptr to each function to deal with it.

In my code, I encounter a unhandled exception. I think I have read overrun. But in the function "insert", I can use (*cvector_ptr_ptr)->element_size to get the size value. I pass the cvector_ptr_ptr to the function "insert_copy" I can't use the same code [(*cvector_ptr_ptr)->element_size] to get the value.

What's wrong with me?

The problem is in your "create_vector_n" function, there:

cvector_ptr_ptr = &cvector_ptr;
return cvector_ptr_ptr;

You are returning a pointer to a stack variable (cvector_ptr), which is terribly wrong.

I think your code has many problems, one problem that is really evident is

offset = ((*cvector_ptr_ptr)->count + 1) * element_size;
                                    ^^^
                            this is the problem

The first element you add should be written to offset zero, not element_size.
