C++: St9bad_alloc failure for small Input - c++

Question

I built a program for converting a multigraph into undirected graph with multiple edges and self loops removed using adjacency-list as Graph representation.
`
#include<iostream>
#include<istream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<list>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
list<int> adj[3];
list<int> auxArray[3];
list<int> adjnew[3];
cout<<adjnew[2].back()<<endl; // Gives output 0, whereas it should have some garbage
//value
for(int i = 0;i<3;i++){
int x;
while(true){ // reading a line of integers until new line is encountered , peek()
returns the next input character without extracting it.
cin>>x;
adj[i].push_back(x);
auxArray[i].push_back(x);
if(cin.peek() == '\n') break;
}
}
//flatten the adj-list
for(int i = 0;i<3;i++){
list<int>::iterator it = adj[i].begin();
while(it != adj[i].end()){
auxArray[*it].push_back(i);
it++;
}
}
for(int i = 0;i<3;i++){
list<int>::iterator it = auxArray[i].begin();
while(it != auxArray[i].end()){
//cout<<*it<<" "<<adjNew[*it].back()<<endl;
if((*it != i) && ((adjnew[*it].back()) != i)){
// cout<<*it<<" -> "<<i<<endl;
adjnew[*it].push_back(i);
}
it++;
}
}
for(int i = 0;i<3;i++){
list<int>::iterator it = adjnew[i].begin();
while(it != adjnew[i].end()){
cout<<*it<<" ";
it++;
}
cout<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
`
But it shows St9bad_alloc error whereas my list has size of just 3.
Also, adjnew[2].back() is assigned to "0" without being initialized, whereas it should have some garbage value.
'
Input:
1 2 1
0
1 1
Output of Program(Incorrect because of 0 as back element in adjnew[2]):
1 2
0 2
1
Correct Output:
1 2
0 2
0 1
'
All suggestions are welcomed!

Answer 1

The
cout<<adjnew[2].back()<<endl;
at begin is plain undefined behavior on an empty container.
valgrind gives
Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
for this line:
if ((*it != i) && ((adjnew[*it].back()) != i))
Again an undefined behavior on an empty container.
Hint: You could use container.at() instead of operator [] to have a range check.
