Hi ,

    When I am trying to using map::clear to clear my map , I am getting
an exception .

     map<long, CMyClass> myMap;

     myMap.clear() ;     // Clear the map before doing anything new .

     Any help would be appreciated .

     Thanks .

Sujay

Some possible explanations:

1. The destructor of CMyClass is throwing (that's a no-no).

2. Your code has a bug somewhere, you have previously corrupted your
   program state, and you're working on an OS like Windows, where
   symptoms of coding errors like segfaults are turned into something
   that can be mistaken for a C++ exception.

IMO, your best bet is careful tracing with a good debugger.

Good luck!
