Storing Custom Drawables in Array Causes Segmentation Error When Drawing Them

Question

I have a std::vector<Button> called levelButtonswhich stores Buttons like this:

for (int i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
        Button level(50, 50, std::bind(&Game::continueGame, this, (j * 8) + i), " " + std::to_string((j * 8) + i), &levelTexture);
        level.setPosition(50 + (i * 100), 200 + (j * 100));
        levelButtons.push_back(level);
    }
}

And then I draw them later like this:

for (int i=0; i<levelButtons.size(); i++) {
    win->draw(levelButtons[i]);
}

Where win is a RenderWindow*. The class Button looks like this:

Button::Button(float width, float height, std::function<void()> onclick, String face, Color fillColour) {
    arial.loadFromFile("/Users/mmysteriouss/Downloads/arial.ttf");
    pointerTexture.loadFromFile("/Users/mmysteriouss/Downloads/pointer.png");
    pointer.setTexture(pointerTexture);
    pointer.scale(0.04, 0.04);
    buttonface.setFont(arial);
    buttonface.setString(face);
    buttonface.setCharacterSize(30);
    buttonface.setFillColor(Color::Black);
    outline.setSize(Vector2f(width, height));
    outline.setOutlineColor(Color::Black);
    outline.setFillColor(fillColour);
    click = onclick;
}

Button::Button(float width, float height, std::function<void()> onclick, String face, Texture *fillTexture) {
    arial.loadFromFile("/Users/mmysteriouss/Downloads/arial.ttf");
    pointerTexture.loadFromFile("/Users/mmysteriouss/Downloads/pointer.png");
    pointer.setTexture(pointerTexture);
    pointer.scale(0.04, 0.04);
    buttonface.setFont(arial);
    buttonface.setString(face);
    buttonface.setCharacterSize(30);
    buttonface.setFillColor(Color::White);
    outline.setSize(Vector2f(width, height));
    outline.setOutlineColor(Color::Black);
    outline.setTexture(fillTexture);
    click = onclick;
}

void Button::handleClick(float x, float y) {
    if (outline.getGlobalBounds().contains(x, y)) {
        click();
    }
}

void Button::setPosition(float x, float y) {
    outline.setPosition(x, y);
    buttonface.setPosition(x, y);
}

void Button::handleMove(float x, float y) {
    hovering = outline.getGlobalBounds().contains(x, y);
    pointer.setPosition(x - 15, y - 5);
}

And it throws a

Segmentation Fault: 11;

The report looks like this:

Why does it throw a Segmentation Fault? I'm pretty sure my iteration is fine, and, my Button class works seperately - I created a main file to test it with and it worked...

Answer 1

I fixed it. I just simply added this code to load a sprite:

sf::Sprite Button::loadSprite(std::string source) {
    static sf::Texture t;
    t.loadFromFile(source);
    static sf::Sprite s;
    s.setTexture(t);
    return s;
}

and used it. Thanks for your help.
