some errors in valgrind

Question

I have managed to solve the problem, using this guide: https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs107/guide_valgrind.html

this is the first project I'm asked to use valgrind and cpp. I have some errors in valgrind that I can't solve. so the first is this:

==2788==  Block was alloc'd at

==2788==    by 0x40ECDB: main (reviiyot.cpp:17)

now the relevant code here is the one below. this function is supposed to add a card to a hand which is a map with a key and a vector of pointers to Card object.

bool Hand::addCard(Card &card){
    int key=getKey(card);
    vector::iterator it_vec;
    map >::iterator it=hand.find(key);
    if(it!=hand.end()){ // found in hand
        for (it_vec=it->second.begin();it_vec!=it->second.end();it_vec++){
            if (card.getShape()<(*it_vec)->getShape()){
                hand[key].insert(it_vec,&card);
                break;
            }
        }
        if(it_vec==it->second.end()){
            hand[key].push_back(&card);
        }
    }
    else {
        hand[key]={};
        hand[key].push_back(&card);// erorr line
    }
    return true;
}

now the project is working and there are no leaks, yet valgrind does not seem to like this insertion of a card that is not already in the hand. i assumed it is syntax thing, but I have tried different ways to do that, and it didn't work. i tried to use insert with pair, and also swap with a vector . non seem to work.

here is another error:

==2788== 214 errors in context 5 of 5:

==2788==    by 0x40ED00: main (reviiyot.cpp:20)

and here is the code in game (i have marked the line):

void Game:: play(){

    Card* curr_card;
    int curr_tact;
    unsigned int i=0;
    string card_first="";
    vector::iterator iter;
    int curr_que;
    int num_from_type;
    bool que;
    int win_que=-1;
    int win_asker=-1;
    vector* card2pass;

    for( i=0; istrategy();
        curr_tact=players.at(i)->getTactic();
        switch (curr_tact){
        case (1):{
            curr_que=most_cards(i);
        }break;
        case (2):{
            curr_que=most_cards(i);
        }break;
        case (3):{
            curr_que=players.at(i)->get_curr_que();
        }break;
        case (4):{
            curr_que=players.at(i)->get_curr_que();
        }break;
        }
        card_first=curr_card->toString().at(0);
        if (verbal_on==1){
            cout <<"Turn " << turn <getName()+" asked "+players.at(curr_que)->getName()+" for the value "+card_first << endl <search(*curr_card);
        // complete else of this if
        if(que==true){
            //instead this vec take from players hand
            card2pass=players.at(curr_que)->get_cards(*curr_card);
            num_from_type=card2pass->size();
            players.at(i)->recive(*card2pass);
            players.at(curr_que)->removeCard(*curr_card);
            // has asker completed a set
            completed_set(*curr_card,i);

            card2pass->clear(); // error line
            // the code continues here..

I used the clear() func for card2pass so I could use it in the next iteration. but for some reason valgrind does not like it.obviously I don't want to delete the cards because I want the other player to get the card so they can point at it. the last one is this one:

==2788==    by 0x40EDC9: main (reviiyot.cpp:19)

so Game has these parameters:

class Game {
private:
    vector players;  //The list of the players
    Deck deck;                 //The deck of the game
    string winners;         //String representing the winners
    int verbal_on;          // printing command
    int turn;               // counts the number of turns

the destructor of game:

Game:: ~Game(){
    unsigned int i;
    if(players.size()!=0){
        for(i=0;i



the destructor of the players are empty,  (playerType1 extends Player extands the abstract class Hand), Hands destructor is:

Hand:: ~Hand(){
    map >::iterator it_map;
    unsigned int it_vec;
    for (it_map = hand.begin(); it_map != hand.end(); it_map++){//error line
        for (it_vec = 0; it_vec < (it_map->second).size(); it_vec++){
            delete (it_map->second).at(it_vec);
        }hand.erase(it_map);
    }
}


I guess there is some problem with the iterator, but I don't understand what is it.
