Can't figure out a vector<struct> error

Shalmander (4)
I'm learning genetic algorithms and have started writing a program to test some stuff out. Right now all the program does is seed a struct and push it into a vector. Any clue as to what is causing this linking error. I'm usually visual express 2008.

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol impCrtDbgReportW referenced in function "public: struct gastruct & thiscall std::vector<struct gastruct,class std::allocator<struct gastruct> >::operator[](unsigned int)" (??A?$vector@Ugastruct@@V?$allocator@Ugastruct@@@std@@@std@@QAEAAUga_struct@@I@Z)

Thank you for any help and thank you for at least reading over it.

Well, all your includes/defines are missing a # in front of them, but I don't think that's the problem...also, I would suggest using a const variable as opposed to a define for your constants.

If it's not that then I have no idea what it is.

It's not the #includes. Thank you for reading over it tho. I edited the code area to make it more readable. Quite a bit was lost when I copied it to here.

Dillu333 is a bot.

In your init_population function,

turn this -> citizen.str.erase(); into this -> citizen.str.resize(tsize);

EDIT: Though, this has nothing to do with your linker error... hahaha

Two questions r0shi. I understand what resize is doing, but why do it that way? Also, which way is faster when it complies and runs?
