[ndnSIM] SIGSEGV when simply assigning one smart pointer to another?

Perhaps you can post the gdb backtrace so that other people can take a look.

I think maybe I'm mailing the list when no one is awake :)

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very interested in hearing them.  This is a true Heisenbug

Greetings all,

I posted this question before but received no responses, so I figured I'd give it another shot.

I've updated my Github repository with the updated code:
profjpbaugh/ndnSIM-strategy1

The scenario in question is jpb-pop1.  The offending code seems to be when I pass my PopularityManager object to a set method, and then do the actual assignment.  I created the PopularityManager as an adapter object (and go-between) between the PStrat (strategy) and the PopularityPolicy (policy).

In order to establish my definition of "popularity", I require the interest information (which PStrat has), and to control caching / replacement ultimately (which is in PopularityPolicy), I need this information about interests.

I am able to print (using cout) just before the assignment occurs, but it seems the segfault happens right then.

I used GDB and it does indeed say there's a SIGSEGV, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening.  It happens if I try to set the data member (popularityManager) to anything.

So I don't think it's the parameter (or argument) being passed in.

Any assistance would be appreciated.  This may be some peculiar smart pointer issue, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

John
