Graphics / Access violation writing location

« on: August 10, 2018, 12:19:34 pm »

Recently I've started working with SFML 2.5. I have the following function that loads a sprite by path and the main method to test it:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

#include <string>
#include <exception>

sf::Texture loadTexture(const std::string& path)
{
        sf::Texture texture;
        if (!texture.loadFromFile(path))
        {
                throw std::runtime_error("Could not open file: " + path);
        }
        return texture; // This line causes an exception to throw
}

int main()
{
        sf::Texture gameFieldTexture = loadTexture("graphics/field.png");
        return 0;
}

Every time I run the application the commented line above causes an exception to throw with the message:"Unhandled exception at 0x1002DB43 (ig4icd32.dll) in App2_TicTacToe.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location at 0x00000010".
Everything works fine if I write this code inside the main method. The exception is thrown only when writing a separate function that loads and returns a texture.

Here is the call stack:

App2_TicTacToe.exe!sf::Texture::update(const sf::Texture & texture, unsigned int x, unsigned int y)
App2_TicTacToe.exe!sf::Texture::update(const sf::Texture & texture)
App2_TicTacToe.exe!sf::Texture::Texture(const sf::Texture & copy)
App2_TicTacToe.exe!loadTexture(const std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> > & path)
App2_TicTacToe.exe!main()

My IDE is Visual Studio 2017.

P.S. Sorry if there were some mistakes in the topic. I do not know English well enough.
