seg fault somewhere cannot find
i have
Code:
<<<FILE1.CPP>>>
#include <string>
#include "Customer.h"
using namespace std;
//in a functino somewhere
Customer * person1;
char name[50];
cin.getline(name, 50);
person1->setName(name);
<<CUSTOMER.CPP>>
#include "Customer.h"
void Customer::setName(string x) {
Name = x;
}
-----------------
this is giving me a seg fault, this code looks fine to me??
and this is all i get from gdb
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00216a43 in std::string::assign () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
(gdb) where
#0 0x00216a43 in std::string::assign () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
#1 0x00215d26 in std::string::operator= () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
#2 0x08049149 in Customer::setAdd ()
#3 0x0804987a in FILE1::menu ()
#4 0x08048cdb in main ()
(gdb)
i found that when i go to do
cout << Name; (in setName functin)
that gives me a segfault./. so do i need to initialise it to something?
