You need to delete the database after you're finished with it. 🙂

how? should I open it with a different object first.

I set it to null, is there a delete method or something?

[Anonymous]

After running this code the db pointer is still NULL?

Out of memory i think...

actually the pointer is valid but somewhere after is creates AcDbDatabase is fails with the heap.

looks like allocRawMem fails.

so it creates the object. then before it finished with the constructor it calls delete for some reason and bombs.

Please someone help

try this:

AcDbDatabase* db = NULL;
try
{
db = new AcDbDatabase(Adesk::kFalse, Adesk::kTrue );
}catch(...)
{
//put a breakpoint here to see of an exception is thrown
}

also try to change the parameters values of the constructor to see what
heapens

There are many samples codes in ObjectARX SDK,
and you can learn a lot from it.
so before you post your Question, plz try yourself,

At last, i do not suggest you to using catch(...)

You should check if you lock the current document before new a Database.
AutoCAD is developed based on COM model. Even if you use multiple
documents(databases), you still must lock doc except that ACAD has done for
you. acedCommand, and/or your own defined commands, etc. have locked doc
before executiving. And however, in some special cases, for example, while
using modelless dialog, you must explicitly lock it!

In fact, even if you dont delete db, the biggest problem is just memory
leaking, but not crash your app.
