Segmentation Fault when Overloading addition operator and dynamic vectors - c++

Question

I'm trying to overload the addition operator but I keep getting a segmentation fault even though I'm passing in the argument by value after it's memory has been deallocated. Anybody have any idea what I could be doing wrong. Also once I get this running properly after fixing the overloaded addition, I need to use vectors instead of pointing to arrays which I have no idea how to declare in a manner equivalent to what I've wrritten for arrays.

Answer 1

You error stems from line 85 of Table.h, in you + operator overload:
temp.records[col]->setData(row,value);
should really be
temp.records[row]->setData(col,value);
Apart from that, I spotted another error in the same file in line 62 (method Table<T>::getRec(int row, int col)):
return records[row]->getData(row);
should be
return records[row]->getData(col);
Apart from those problems, I would highly advise you to rethink and restructure your code (maybe you could also try a code review), since a large part of it is superfluous in my opinion and some things could become problematic if you expand the project (for example, RowAray's constructor takes a T colSize as parameter where you should probably use an int or, better, a size_t. This code as it is will not work when T is not implicitly convertible to an integer type).
