Access violation reading location while drawing sprites
« on: April 27, 2021, 12:43:14 pm »
Hi,
I've started to work with SFML and C++ not while ago and drawn some sprites without using objects. However, when I started to use objects, I encountered with "Exception thrown at 0x7994CF80 (sfml-graphics-d-2.dll) in Project_demo.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000020C." error and it crashes my program. What should I do to solve it?

Here's my code:
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

class Coord {
public:
        float x;
        float y;
        Coord() {}
        Coord(float x, float y) : x(x), y(y) {}
};

class Sandbag {
private:
        sf::RenderWindow* window; //SFML window object
        sf::Texture texture; //Sandbag texture
        sf::Sprite sprite; //Sandbag sprite
        Coord pos; //Sandbag position
public:
        void init(sf::RenderWindow *window, std::string texturePath, Coord pos) {
                window = window;
                if (!texture.loadFromFile(texturePath)) {
                        std::cout << "Couldn't load the sprite" << std::endl;
                }
                pos = pos;
                sprite.setTexture(texture);
                sprite.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(pos.x, pos.y));
                std::cout << "One sandbag is constructed." << std::endl;
        }
        Coord getPosition() {
                return Coord(pos.x, pos.y);
        }
        void paint() {
                window->draw(sprite);
                std::cout << "One sandbag is drawn." << std::endl;
        }
};

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Cyberpunk2077");

        Sandbag s1;
        s1.init(&window, "bags.png", Coord(20.f,50.f));

        // run the program as long as the window is open
        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                // check all the window's events that were triggered since the last iteration of the loop
                sf::Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                       
                        if ((event.type == sf::Event::Closed) || (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Escape)))
                                window.close();
                }

                window.clear(sf::Color::Black);

                s1.paint();
                window.display();
        }
        return 0;
}

Sandbag has a window member. But init takes a window argument, then does:
window = window;
The window argument is "shadowing" the window member, meaning the member one is hidden due to duplicate name. So window = window is assigning the argument to itself, the member version isn't changed, meaning when it gets to the paint function the window member is invalid and crashes.

Change either the member name or argument name and it should work.

It worked, thank you!  :)
