Vector storage problem

[judjohn]

I'm trying to store a value passed through a function argument into a vector. Everytime the method is called "name" changes and so do the values stored in _groups. How can I fix this?

void GroupDB::addGroup(char* name)
{
	GroupInfo* tempGroup = new GroupInfo(name, _nextGid++);

	_groups.push_back(tempGroup);
	for(int i = 0; i < _size; i++)
	{
		cout << (*_groups.at(i)).getGroupName();
	}
	
	// IGNORE THIS cout << "[" << (*_groups.at(_size)).getGroupName() << "]"<< " with [" << _nextGid - 1 <<"] is added." << endl;
	_size++;
}

So if name was "Carl" for the first input, it would cout "Carl"
and if the second input was "Greg" the second cout would be "GregGreg"

Thanks in advance!

Your `GroupInfo' is doing a shallow copy of the name parameter
Also, you probably shouldn't be using new http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/138037/#msg731921
