hi,

this is concerning the very general question about how to find a hanging pointer.
I am working on a MultiRegion-Solver, so i was starting from chtMultiRegionsFoam.

I followed the pattern in the solver
by addressing the pointers first with the appropriate size of the meshRegion with

PtrList<basicPsiThermo> thermoFluid(fluidRegions.size());

and then setting the pointerlists to the IOobjects by e.g.

 
Info<< "    Adding to KFluid\n" << endl;
                KFluid.set
                (
                    i,
                    new volScalarField
                    (
                        IOobject
                        (
                            "K",
                            runTime.timeName(),
                            fluidRegions[i],
                            IOobject::NO_READ,
                            IOobject::NO_WRITE
                        ),
                        thermoFluid[i].Cp()*thermoFluid[i].alpha()
                    )
                );

and finally use the local-"region"-variables in the normal manner.

fvScalarMatrix tEqn
        (
            -fvm::laplacian(K, T)
        );
        tEqn.relax();
        TEqnResidual = tEqn.solve().initialResidual();

Then i added the "solve"-part by including some working header-files.
The code is compiling but i am receiving an ERROR about: hanging pointer, cannot dereference .

So. How to solve this since there are plenty of pointers.
Is there a way to find the "bad" one? I just need some general advice where to search or how to look at that problem ... and maybe solving it the next time on my own.

Thanks in advance...
