C++: vectors: why i lose data?

Cambalinho (1445)
i have 1 vector public inside of a class.
after create a class, i create an instance\object.
now i call the class function that add information on vector.
on where i see the vector size '1'(correct).
after finish the function, i call the vector size, and i get zero.. why i can lose these data?
(the vector instance is on class, on global\outside the function, and it's public.)

It's hard to guess what the problem is without seeing the code. Could you perhaps post a minimum example that demonstrates the problem?
Repeater (3046)
Perhaps you're working on a copy of the vector, instead of the original.

Hard to guess without seeing any code.
Cambalinho (1445)
after i declare them static, i don't lose the data... i'm confused why i can't use non-static :(

Repeater (3046)
Where is the function that adds data to the vector?
Cambalinho (1445)
ValidRules function.
Repeater (3046)
Yes, my guess is that the vector you were editing is not the same as the one you then looked at.

By making the vector a static class member, all instances of the class share it.

This would suggest that before, you have more than one instance of the class and you were looking at different instances.
Cambalinho (1445)
i found the error:
1
2
3
4
 
for(unsigned int i =0; i<strCompile.size(); i++)
    {
        Compile=compiler((string)strCompile[i]); //the loop calls the constructor
    }

the constructor clean all non-static variables.
thank you so much for all
