I've been having a lot of trouble with this, so I'm gonna post a fair bit of
code and errors in the hope that SOMEONE can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Here's a snippet of code for a struct for an enemy in a simple game I'm
making:

struct CEnemy
{
   short int ID;
   BITMAP   *sprite;
   float     x,
             y,
             xvel,
             yvel;
   bool      hit, type;
   short int HP, life;

   CEnemy(int ID, int a, int b, int function);
   ~CEnemy();

   void (*draw)(BITMAP *bitmap, CEnemy *e); // pointer to function that
draws bullet
   bool (*routine)(CEnemy *e);   // pointer to function for updating bullet
   short int var1, var2, var3, var4;  // uses depend on bullet type
}; vector<CEnemy*> E(0);

const int GTop = 500;
const int GBot = 501;

/* Prototypes for enemy behavior
********************************************/
bool Test(CEnemy *e);

/* Constructor
**************************************************************/
CEnemy::CEnemy(int ID, int a, int b, int function):x(a), y(b), life(0)
{
   switch(function)
   {
      case 0: routine = Test;
      switch(ID)
      {
         case GTop: sprite = create_bitmap(200, 190);
                    return;
         case GBot: sprite = create_bitmap(200, 160);
                    return;
      }
   }
}

CEnemy::~CEnemy()
{
   destroy_bitmap(sprite);
}


The problem is in the destructor. If I attempt to empty the vector,.....


   vector<CEnemy*>::size_type Esize  = E.size();

   for(int a = 0 ; a < Esize ; a++){
      delete (E.end() - 1);
      E.pop_back();
   }

I get a crash at runtime, which follows......

I'm pretty sure it's the destructor that's doing this, because eliminating
the delete or the destroy_bitmap() seems to fix it, but I see nothing wrong
with it (not exactly complex, is it?). And in the call frame traceback; what
is new2.cc? This file is nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Hopefully
someone here can help me with this; it's driving me batty. Thank you.
