read in problem

hay
I have a problem with the following read in procedure:

Code:

---

  ifstream widthfile("data-files/output_file3.txt");
  while((widthfile >> x[n] >> y[n] >> z[n] >> vx[n] >> vy[n] >> vz[n] >> mass >> type[n])){
      if(xmax < x[n]) xmax = x[n];
      if(ymax < y[n]) ymax = y[n];
      if(zmax < z[n]) zmax = z[n];
      n++;
  } 
  widthfile.close();

---

this gives an error to me. If I use only 5 columns in the file output_file3.txt it is working, so the problem is connected to the number of colums... ???
I can avoid the problem if I read only one data set and distribute it afterwards like

Code:

---

  ifstream widthfile("data-files/output_file3.txt");
  while((widthfile >>dummy)){
      if(n%0 == 0){
        x[n1] == dummy;
        n1++;
    }
    ....
      n++;
  } 
  widthfile.close();

---

but this is very ugly... I would like to know what is my mistake withe the procedure above.
thanks for any help

There's nothing wrong with this piece of code. Could you show us the rest, including variable declarations and initialization?

of course... here is the complete program (its a root program but I hope its not connected to root itself)

Code:

---

#include <math.h>

void pos_plot_2color(){
  gROOT->SetStyle("Plain");
  gStyle->SetOptStat(0);
  gStyle->SetOptFit(1111);

  const int num = 1000000;
  double x[num], y[num], z[num], type[num], dummy;
  double vx[num], vy[num], vz[num];
  double xmax, ymax, zmax, mass[num];
  int j, n;

  xmax = 0;
  ymax = 0;
  zmax = 0;

  n = 0;

  ifstream widthfile("data-files/output_file3.txt");
  while((widthfile >> x[n] >> y[n] >> z[n] >> vx[n] >> vy[n] >> vz[n] >> mass[n] >> type[n])){
      if(xmax < x[n]) xmax = x[n];
      if(ymax < y[n]) ymax = y[n];
      if(zmax < z[n]) zmax = z[n];
      n++;
  } 
  widthfile.close();

  cout<<"xmax: "<<xmax<< endl;
  cout<<"ymax: "<<ymax<< endl;
  cout<<"zmax: "<<zmax<< endl;

  TH3F *frame3d = new TH3F("frame3d","frame3d",10,-xmax,xmax,10,-ymax,ymax,10,-zmax,zmax);
  frame3d->Draw();

  TPolyMarker3D *pm3d1 = new TPolyMarker3D(3);
  j = 0;
  for(int i = 0; i <= n; i++){
      if(type[i] == 2){
        pm3d1->SetPoint(j,x[i],y[i],z[i]);
        cout<<"x: "<<x[i]<<" y: "<<y[i]<<" z: "<<z[i]<<" vx: "<<vx[i]<<" vy: "<<vy[i]<<" vz: "<<vz[i]<< endl;
        j++;
      }
  }

  cout<<"type1: "<<j<< endl;

  pm3d1->SetMarkerSize(1);
  pm3d1->SetMarkerColor(kRed);
  pm3d1->SetMarkerStyle(20);
  frame3d->SetTitle("");

  pm3d1->Draw();

  TPolyMarker3D *pm3d2 = new TPolyMarker3D(3);
  j = 0;
  for(int i = 0; i <= n; i++){
      if(type[i] == 1){
        pm3d2->SetPoint(j,x[i],y[i],z[i]);
        if(x[i] == 10000. && y[i] == 0. && z[i] == 0.) cout<<"i = "<<i<< endl;
        j++;
      }
  }

  cout<<"type2: "<<j<< endl;

  pm3d2->SetMarkerSize(0.1);
  pm3d2->SetMarkerColor(1);
  pm3d2->SetMarkerStyle(20);

  pm3d2->Draw();
}

thanks fpr the help

You allocate on the stack:
8 arrays
1000000 elements each
8 bytes per element

That makes up for 64 MB. WAY too big for the stack; on the heap it should be OK if there's really no better way to do it.
