Core dumps

    Table of contents
    No headers

    If a core dump happens, it could mean one of the following:

    • A pointer is NULL and has been de-referenced (that is, is being used as if it were non-NULL)
    • An object has been deleted twice
    • A pointer is being used that points to an object that has been deleted
    • An object is being treated as something it isn’t (for example, an object has been cast incorrectly to the wrong type of object)
