Copy Constructor for Array

[wuddup]

Hi, this has been bugging me forever. I've tried searching but unable to get the right info for this.

So I'm trying to implement my copy constructor for an array class, and here it goes:
and buf, size, and capacity are the data members.

Array(const Array& source)
{
capacity = source.capacity;
buf = new string[capacity];
size = source.size;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
buf[i] = source.buf[i];
}
}

What am I allocating wrong? I am getting a seg fault when I test this.
Any guidance would be helpful and appreciated, thanks.

Can you post your class declaration, default constructor (if any) and where you calling copy constructor.

Also, makes sure 'size' doesn't exceed 'capacity'.

need more information on the class Array .

Sorry.

Default is
Array(size_t capacity)
{
capacity = CAPACITY;
//CAPACITY is a global and capacity is 45000 so size wont exceed capacity anytime soon

buf = new string[capacity];
size = 0;
}

im just calling the copy constructor like this:
Array array;
//then i pushed elements into the array, already confirmed this works properly
then i do
Array copy = array;

hi,
don't take me wrong but it would be better if you paste both, class declaration and definition in your post.
also use code tags so other people can read your code.
to do this use "code tags" button (small <> button on the right when you start posting)
