typedef struct Object

{

char* filename;

//internal index for reading vertex position

int i;

p_ply ply;

long nvertices;

long nfaces;

Vertex* vertices[];

} Object;

when i initialize it in a newobject() function, all the member get initialized except for the array vertices, i'm using dynamic allocation in the newobject() method like:

Object* newo=(Object*)malloc(sizeof(Object)+sizeof(Vertex)*nverts);

if (newo==NULL) {

return NULL;

}

where nverts is the size of an array (read in from a file at run time), and vertex is another structure with 3 double member values. so looking to the debugger all the data members are there but vertices doesn't exist, so later when trying to use an Object struct allocated by this method in another function i can't add anything to the array vertices, the debugger comes up and i get the error "Program received signal: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS".".

o->vertices[o->i]->x = value;

could any one please help? the entire newobject() function is below.

thank you very much,

juan

Object* newobject(char* filename, long nverts, long nface, p_ply ply)

{

Object* newo=(Object*)malloc(sizeof(Object)+sizeof(Vertex)*nverts);

if (newo==NULL) {

return NULL;

}

newo->i = 0;

newo->filename = filename;

newo->nvertices = nverts;

newo->nfaces = nface;

newo->ply = ply;

newo->vertices[0] = NULL;

return newo;

}
