I'm having trouble getting one of my rountines to work. What I'm trying 
to do is allocate memory to a pointer while in a class constructor 
function and then use that pointer (which was declared as public: in the 
same class) in a C-style function. Like this:

class constructor{
char *mem;
}

constructor::constructor(int num)
{
mem=malloc(num);
}

main()
{
memcpy(whereever,mem,num);
}


The problem is I can't seem to touch that pointer in the class which I 
did allocate memory for without getting a GP fault. I even tried simply 
taking the pointer out of the class and making it a global variable but 
then when I ran my program I just got a message: "Bad Signal Device 
SIGSEV" repeated over and over again. Anyone know what is going wrong 
here??
