Thread: Program crashes at very end

Hello all ... could you please look over this code, critique it and let me know why it crashes at the end?

TIA!

main.cpp

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "World.h"
#include "Player.h"

using namespace std;

int main(){

  World world;

  cout << "World Name = " << world.getName() << endl;

  char* pName;

  cout << "What is your name?" << endl;

  cin >> pName;

  Player player;

  player.setName(pName);

  cout << player.getName() << endl;

  return 0;
}

player.h

Code:

#ifndef PLAYER_H
#define PLAYER_H
  class Player {
    public:

      char* getName();
      void setName(char* _pstrPlayerName);

    protected:

      char* _pstrPlayerName;

  };
#endif

player.cpp

Code:

#include <string>
#include "Player.h"

void Player::setName(char* playerName){

  _pstrPlayerName = playerName;

}

char* Player::getName(){

  return _pstrPlayerName;

}

world.h

Code:

#ifndef WORLD_H
#define WORLD_H

class World {

  public:

    World();
    char* getName();

  protected:

    char* _pstrWorldName;

};

#endif

world.cpp

Code:

#include "World.h"

World::World(){

  _pstrWorldName = "Something";

}

char* World::getName(){

  return _pstrWorldName;

}

Output:

Code:

World Name = Something
What is your name?
Stuff

Process returned -1073741819 (0xC0000005)   execution time : 14.163 s
Press any key to continue.

If I comment out the two lines referring to World, it runs with no errors.
