Memory dump on exit

[fluca1978]

Hi,
my program is working, but I guess I've got a dangling pointer or something like that since when I quit the application the following dump is produced on the console:

The point is, how can I find where the problem is?

First step would be to build in debug mode and run the application through the debugger. This way you get a backtrace that brings you to the line that causes the trouble.

On first sight, the memory corruption looks like an object that is deleted twice.

You can also use a valgrind - tool for investigating leaks. You can also try a cppcheck - this tool is for static code analize.
