I used set <string> ss as a containtor for a list of unique, ordered strings. However, program reports segmentation error when trying to allocate a block of memory.
I have used libcwd to debug the memory allocation, the libcwd detected memory leaks: +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |MALLOC : operator new (size = 1088) = 0x83a2a18 | |libstdc++.so.5:_ZNSt24__default_alloc_templateILb1ELi0EE14_S_chunk_allocEjRi]| | * WARNING : Memory leak detected! | | * 0x83a2a18 std::__default_alloc_template<true, | | * 0>::_S_chunk_alloc(unsigned int, int&) <unknown type>; (sz | | * = 1088) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Memory leak problem solved by changing Set <string> ss ==> set <char*> ss However, I'm not sure if this only solves the problem temporary, since set <string> does not result in memory leaks in most cases.
