[Quantlib-users] map<std::string,

[Pedro Milet]

Dear all,

I am writing an Excel add-in in C++ using XLW and QuantLib.
In order to store a set of volatility curves, I am using the following map:

typedef boost::shared_ptr<QuantLib::BlackVolTermStructure> VolTermStructure;
std::map<std::string, VolTermStructure> volTermStructureMap;

Now I have a "SetVolSurface" method that does the following (for simplicity, I'll only show the Constant Vol curve which already exhibits the issue):

volTermStructureMap[surfaceID] = VolTermStructure( new BlackConstantVol(0,
*cal,
vol,
*dayCounter));

[vol is a double, cal is a std::shared_ptr<const QuantLib::Calendar> and dayCounter is a std::shared_ptr<const QuantLib::DayCounter>]

Everything compiles and run fine, and I can extract useful information from it (blackVol, blackVariance etc).
However, while Debugging, if I close Excel the following error occurs:
----
Exception thrown: read access violation.

boost::unordered::detail::table<boost::unordered::detail::set<std::allocator<QuantLib::Observer * __ptr64>,QuantLib::Observer * __ptr64,boost::hash<QuantLib::Observer * __ptr64>,std::equal_to<QuantLib::Observer * __ptr64> > >::get_bucket(...) returned 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.
------

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? I've tried a few versions of the above code without success.

A few points:

- The error does not occur if I don't populate the map using the SetVolSurface method - if I prepopulate the map, for instance, I can close Excel without getting the error.

- The error does not occur if I hit the "Stop debug" button instead of closing Excel

- The error does not occur if I compile the Release version of the add-in, open Excel, and map the add-in from Excel (but I'm worried that there is a silent memory error under the hood).

Thanks in advance,
Pedro Milet
