release

Hello,

I am working through a book about character animation with direct3d

There is a CD-ROM that came with the book and the examples on the cd will compile and run ok in debug mode but when I compile a release build, I get a runtime error to do with a vector:

iterator insert(const_iterator _Where, const _Ty& _Val)
        {   // insert _Val at _Where
        size_type _Off = size() == 0 ? 0 : _Where - begin();
        _Insert_n(_Where, (size_type)1, _Val);
        return (begin() + _Off);
        }

Any idea how I can compile and run in release mode?

I'm thinking that I need to link in some library to get it to work but as I say it compiles fine with the current d3d9.lib and d3dx9.lib.
------------------------
Ok, I tried a unicode build instead and I get an access violation with the wofstream

can you help me get to the bottom of what's going on?

I've upgraded to visual c++ professional and still getting a problem with vector push_back. Here's the code that's playing up:

// Copy materials and load textures.
    for(int i=0; i<(int)NumMaterials; i++)
    {
        D3DXMATERIAL mtrl;
        memcpy(&mtrl, &pMaterials[i], sizeof(D3DXMATERIAL));

        boneMesh->materials.push_back(mtrl.MatD3D)

The problem is with materials.push_back

seems like i'm passing a bad value
