Data structure/Vector

[Kazzie]

I am trying to read a file and then store the results in a data structure. One of the members of the structure is a vector. I use the following to push back the data 'p' into the vector 'v1'.

Assume structure called Rulestrc

Rulestrc* tp = NULL;

other coding

tp -> v1.push_back(p) ;

The code compiles but does not run. I know it has something to do with the vector but I am not sure what ie can you have a vector that is a member of a structure. Can you please advise
Thanks

The little bit I see here shows your tp pointer as NULL. That is, it does not point to a vector. That will cause code like tp-> to crash your program.

You also say that the vector is a member of a struct:
[code=cpp]
struct Data
{
vector<int> theData;
};
[/code]

You need a Data variable and then you can use the vector member:
[code=cpp]
Data d;
d.theData.push_ back(10);
[/code]

Describe what "doesn't run" means. The information given is so vague we can't make a diagnosis. Plus, what issues did you discover in your debugging efforts?
