Might it be a BUG within DXUT?

The CGrowableArray template(dxutmisc.h, line 24) may exist with a slight BUG. This copy constructor not initialize three data members, so if you use this copy constructor, your program will crash!

Solve it very simple! Modify it as follow:

CGrowableArray( const CGrowableArray<TYPE>& a ) : m_pData (0),
m_nSize(0), m_nMaxSize(0)

{

for( int i=0; i < a.m_nSize; i++ ) Add( a.m_pData Idea );

}

I wish next edition of DirectX SDK has solved it.

My home language is chinese, my Englist is not too very good, and honestly hope you understand what I said.

I just wanted to confirm that I ran into this bug as well and that the fix appears to be correct. I will file a bug against the DirectX team and will try to get this fixed soon.

The April 2006 version of the SDK already contains the fix:

CGrowableArray( const CGrowableArray<TYPE>& a ) : m_pData (0), m_nSize(0), m_nMaxSize(0) { for( int i=0; i < a.m_nSize; i++ ) Add( a.m_pData ); }

Thanks!

Hi!

Hm, because nobody has made a comment to this, I do. :)

Yes, seems like a bug, because the Add(..) function uses the uninitialized size member.
