Okay, I have been having an issue with a program I am working on, and for some reason after the final return in "void DarkGDK(void)" I am getting an access violation error, and have no idea why.
Here is an image of the error box:


The problem is that when I choose "Break", it tells me that there is no source code that it can direct me to and just pauses.

If anyone has encountered this before, or knows what is happening, any help would be great. I would post the code but it is across many files and not commented at all.

p.s: should I call dbDeleteObject(ID) inside a class destructor if i am not controlling the class with a pointer?

EDIT: I guess I should test my "theories". Tip to anyone/everyone out there who decides to delete objects in class destructors: DON'T. I fixed it by getting rid of the deleting in the destructors.

I am not smart. I am not powerful. I am just a guy. I am strengthened through my faith.

There's nothing wrong with deleting objects in a destructor, the issue is the order its called in. If you return from the entry point then GDK will get deallocated before any allocated objects are destroyed so you'll end up telling GDK to delete objects that don't exist, to fix this just destroy all your objects(classes/structs) yourself before leaving the entry point.

Is there a way to call the object's destructor, before returning from the entry point, without it being owned by a pointer? (meaning "SomeObj Object" and not "SomeObj* Object") or should I only put a "deletor" inside of objects controlled by pointers?

Why would you have an object that isn't referenced by anything?

Which kind of object are you referring to? 3D objects? or OOP Objects?

If your talking about OOP Objects, I like to complete the class and have it work before I start referring to them using pointers.

If your talking about 3D objects, I don't have objects that are not referenced by anything.
