Intermediate lesson 1 issue

[robp]

Everything was working fine for me until about 2hrs 30 min into the lesson when I ran I would get this error:

Unhandled exception at 0x0f6d37ff (msvcr100d.dll) in ScoreBoard Test Bench.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.

When I set a break point and stepped through it turned out it was running everything fine until it got to this part in the Serialize function:

FILE* pFile = fopen( fileName,"w" );

Any thoughts on what the issue is? I've rewound a few times and paused to look at the code and it looks identical in every way so I can't figure out what's going wrong.

PS- I tried this without the txt file I called being there and with it being there and having no data and got the same error.


More specifically the error is occuring at this part of fopen.c:

Code: Select all

        if(*file==_T('\0'))
        {
            errno=EINVAL;
            return NULL;
        }

that exception would indicate that filename is set to a null pointer , most prolly you didn't pass a filename to the constructor of scoreboard
(since filename is null it can't deref it in the line if(*file==_T('\0')) )
