C++ MySQL-connector on Arch-Linux/arm - c++

Question

I have written a program using C++/C, the MySQL C++ connector and ncurses/CDK. It compiles just fine, and runs fine as well on an x86/64 architecture. It crashes, however, when run on a Raspberry Pi B+ (ArchLinux).
I realize this is a pretty hard question to answer, but maybe someone more experienced can help.
Here's the (hopefully) relevant Code:
//Open Connection to the Database
nrpeout::MYSQL_CON localhost("127.0.0.1", 3306, "root", "toor");
//localhost.write_attributes_to_console();
con = localhost.open_database_connection();
//Create a new object of type nrpeoutputquery
nrpeout::Nrpeoutputquery current_query("SELECT * FROM nrpeout", con);
//Execute query
res = current_query.execute_query();
//Close Database Connection
localhost.close_database_connection(con);
} catch (sql::SQLException &e) {
//Handle SQL-Exceptions
std::cout << "# ERR: SQLException in " << __FILE__;
std::cout << "(" << __FUNCTION__ << ") on line "
<< __LINE__ << std::endl;
std::cout << "# ERR: " << e.what();
std::cout << " (MySQL error code: " << e.getErrorCode();
std::cout << ", SQLState: " << e.getSQLState() << " )" << std::endl;
} catch(...) {
//Handle Standard Exceptions
std::cout << "Unknown Exception raised. Please contact your Administrator" << std::endl;
}
nrpeout::NrpeResultSet* currentResults = new nrpeout::NrpeResultSet(res);
Using Valgrind and GDB, I have tried to narrow the error down to the line where I create the object "currentResults".
Here's the member function that saves the query results:
nrpeout::NrpeResultSet::NrpeResultSet(sql::ResultSet* res)
{
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < res->rowsCount(); ++i)
{
res->next();
std::string command = res->getString("command");
//Shorten the String
size_t posCommand = command.find("_");
std::string shortened_command = command.substr(posCommand+1);
int ret = res->getInt("ret");
std::string text = res->getString("text");
//Shorten the Text
size_t posText = text.find("|");
std::string shortened_text = text.substr(0, posText-1);
std::string last_updated = res->getString("last_updated");
this->results.push_back(Row(shortened_command, ret, shortened_text, last_updated));
}

Answer 1

Well, you are not catching an exception, which you may want to handle. InvalidInstanceException is thrown when using closed databse connections, statements or resultsets.
My suggestion is to run your code with a gdb and catch exceptions:
gdb ./some-program
$ catch throw
$ r
This will break after each exception being thrown. (But also includes handled exceptions, so there may be quite a few breaks, depending on how long it takes you to get to the important part.)
