I have a project in Code::Blocks to practice my SDL. For some reason something as simple as this:

string stringname;

is causing a segfault for me. I don't ever recall having an issue where declaring a string caused this.

I generated an all new console project to test this:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
using std::string;
int main()
{
std::string helloworld = "hello world";
cout << helloworld << endl;
return 0;
}

This has the same issue. Am I just missing something obvious?

No you aren't. There is nothing in the posted code that would segfault (your using std::string is redundant but that is all).

Something is screwy with your machine or installation. Are you maybe building a 64 bit app for 32 bit windows? Does the program not segfault if you remove the string stuff and just cout a string literal?

As Aardvajk pointed out it is your installation. You need to install Code::Blocks again. Also as pointed out if you are doing 'using namespace std;' you don't need 'using std::string;' and you don't need 'std::' on the line definition of helloworld.

Yeah, I worked it out in the site chat with SotL that my installation was messed up somehow. Still no idea why. Didn't do anything different on the second install.
