Seg Fault from While Loop till Null

Leegit (10)
I am trying to loop through a char array until I hit the null character and I seem to be getting a segmentation fault on the while loop section...

Here is come code...

1

4
5
 
	char buffer [256];
	int n;
	n = sprintf ( buffer, "Index %i", Order );
	
	Message *aTempMessage = new Message( buffer );

8
 
Message::Message( char *aCharArray )
{
	ReportMessage( "Pro: Constructing message with char array..." );
	
	SetMessage( aCharArray );

	SetStatus( true );
}

void Message::SetMessage( char *aCharArray )
{
	ReportMessage( "Proteus: Loading char array into message..." );
	
	//Intialize Index
	int i = 0;
	
	ReportMessage( "Pro: Checking if char is null..." );
	
	//Loop Through Message
	while( aCharArray[i] != '\0' ) //Segmentation fault occurs here...
	{
		AddChar( aCharArray[i] );

		i++;
	}
}


Can someone explain to me why this is incorrect? Thanks. ^ ^

There's nothing wrong with the code parts you posted, so the problem must be somewhere else. Check how far i gets by printing it each iteration.

By the way, there is no reason to tinker with char arrays - that's what std::string is for.
