[Botan-devel] "Access violation" error when creating Pipe object with a PK_Encryptor_Filter

[reen du]

Hi Gurus,

I am running into an "Access violation" error when trying to initiate a Pipe
object with a PK_Encryptor_Filter. I am on Windows 2000 with MS VS.Net 2003
compiler. The compiled program just throws "Exception: Access violation - no
RTTI data" after following statement:

Pipe pipe(new Botan::PK_Encryptor_Filter(get_pk_encryptor(*rsakey,
> "EME1(SHA-1)")));


I have checked that the "new
Botan::PK_Encryptor_Filter(get_pk_encryptor(*rsakey, "EME1(SHA-1)"))" did
returned a valid pointer, and the rsa key is also valid. If I replaced the
PK_Encryptor_Filter with other types of filters, say, Base64_Encoder, the
code just worked fine.

Below attached my complete code. Any pointers are highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
