BASIC problem... no solution?

I have here a basic and incomplete class, though self-sufficient. However, whenever I declare a variable of this class in my program, the program goes into an endless loop, doing some hard drive writing. I would think there's a problem with the constructor, BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE CONSTRUCTOR. Please take a look at this and tell me what you think.

Code:

---

class DataStorage 
{
public:
        DataStorage()
        {
        }
        ~DataStorage()
        {
        }

        array SearchByName(char* search)
        {
                array ReturnValue;
                int AmountFound = 0;

                for(int x = 0; x < BANK_CAPASITY; x++)
                {
                        if(BanksMap[x] == 1)
                        {
                                if(!strcmpi(Banks[x].GetName(),search))
                                {
                                        AmountFound++;
                                        ReturnValue[AmountFound] = x;
                                }
                        ReturnValue[0] = AmountFound;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        }
                }
        return ReturnValue;
        }

        int ReadInFile(const char* FileName)
        {
                char* BigBuffer = new char[];
                ifstream FileReader(FileName);
                                        /*
                for(int x = 0; x > -1; x++)
                {
                        FileReader >> BigBuffer[x];

                }*/
                return 0;
        }

private:

        BANK Banks[BANK_CAPASITY];
        int BanksMap[BANK_CAPASITY];

};

DOH! I should have said "Simple" problem. Now people'll think I mean the language "BASIC". Oh well.

Umm I think you should show the driver program as well, if u r just declaring an instance of that class i dont see how anything could happen

I never see "Liver!"

Code:

---

#include "Balance.h"


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        DataStorage MyData;
        cout << "Liver!" << endl;

        return 0;
}

---

I'm thinking linking error, but other objects from "balance.h" work just fine.

did u include iostream.h anywhere? or iostream and using namespace std

Yes, I did. And that would have no relevance. I would simply get an error. The problem must be either with my compiler or with that class. I can't find anything wrong with the class, so it must be compiler related. If anybody has had such a problem, please reply. I am using MSVC++6.

Your constructor may not explicitly do anything, but it is still going to construct the ints and that BANK array. Check the constructor of the BANK class.

No.... that just allocates memory and sets things to NULL. Here... tell ya what. I'm going to attach the actual file and anyone who is on a coffee rush or just wants to figure something out may tell me what's wrong. For you, Polymorphic, here's the constructor to the BANK class. Nothing here would cause a neverending loop. Even the loop......

Code:

---

BANK()
        {
                AccountPointer = 0;

                full = false;
       
                for(int x = 0; x < MAX_NUM_ACCOUNTS; x++)
                {
                        AccountsMap[x] = 0;
                }

                name = new char[50];
               

        }

---

What's MAX_NUM_ACCOUNTS? You should check that number. How about BANK_CAPACITY?

50 and 100, I think.

Hah! It was but mere patience that was needed on my part. That program was calculating an enormous amount of data, and appending the debug information to that was probobly freezing DOS, or just taking too long. Ah, I just saw my error :) a 100 kb file being allocated for every one of the 5000 variables.
