[SOLVED]Need help solving a segmentation fault(not srcds or hlds)

WildCard65 · **Author**

I'm working on this little c++ project for a friend of mine on Steam(I'm just porting Steambot(built on C#) to c++) and I've run into a little problem where I'm getting segmentation fault.
gdb reports the fault comes from this line:

Code:

		cmdHandler->FireCommand(msg);

the entire source is here: https://github.com/WildCard65/SteamB...ter/BotManager
the line in the code tags about is in this file: https://github.com/WildCard65/SteamB...ConsoleApp.cpp
Edit:
To compile:

Make sure you got GTK3(not GTK2) and Boost Filesystem(Both if I read right, should be cross platform)
For linux, run "cmake . -DISDEBUG=true" for windows, run "cmake -DISDEBUG=true", the -DISDEBUG=true just makes it compile into Bin/Debug folder.
then run make(on linux) or nmake(on Windows, unless you got visual studios, then it'll just replace the solution file and make vs c++ projects)

To recreate seg fault, in the command line between "botmgr> " label and the button, type anything then either click button or hit enter on keyboard.

C++ isn't my strong suit, but my best guess is that cmdHandler is NULL.

This is supported by this other line in ConsoleApp::ConsoleApp:

Code:

cmdHandler = cmdHandler;

which is a NOP and likely optimized out (I'm surprised you didn't get a warning from the compiler on this line).

Incidentally, this is one of the reasons you don't name your global and local variables with the same name.

I'll post results when I get there, funny thing though is the line it's faulting on still gets called.
Edit: Thx Powerlord, it fixed it(I changed the variable that is near top of cpp file for ConsoleApp to have a "L" infront(for local)
