The issue that I am currently experiencing is as follows:
I am attempting to construct a vector in my main.cpp file that contains only SingleBox objects (SingleBox is a class that I have defined), however, when I attempt to populate or resize that vector, the vector never contains any SingleBox objects and the code below the attempt to populate or resize the vector never executes in my main.cpp file.
Thank you in advance to anyone offering assistance in resolving this issue.
File main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "SingleBox.h"
#include "NineBox.h"
int main( int argc, const char * argv[] )
{
std::vector< SingleBox > vec;
std::cout << "Below is the attempt to populate: \n";
vec.push_back( SingleBox( 0, 0 ) );
std::cout << "Nothing from this point onward executes...\n";
std::cout << "The size: " << vec.size() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
File SingleBox.h
