Ticker attach_us with <vector> messes the first item of <vector> up
I have 2 classes: Sample that holds a value of i and Trier that has a couple of Sample's in vector<Sample*> vec. The code below sends the values of i from a Sample in Trier::vec to the terminal via STM32 development board. The problem is as follows:
If you Trier::printI() just before before Ticker::attach_us(), I get the right value of i, but in the Ticker::attach_us, I get weird value printed in the terminal for vec[0]. The funny thing is that if you replace vec[0]->getI() in Trier::printI() to index of 1 like this vec[1]->getI(), the value of i for the 2nd Sample in vec is printed fine.
I broke my head on this. Could anyone tell what the heck if going on?
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include "mbed.h"
class Sample
{
public:
Sample(int i) : i(i) {}
int getI() {return i;}
protected:
int i;
};
class Trier
{
protected:
vector<Sample*> vec;
public:
Trier(Sample* s1, Sample* s2, Sample* s3)
{
vec.push_back(s1);
vec.push_back(s2);
vec.push_back(s3);
}
void printI()
{
printf("vector's i = %i\n", vec[0]->getI());
}
vector<Sample*> getVec() {return vec;}
};
Ticker t;
int main()
{
Sample* s1;
Sample* s2;
Sample* s3;
s1 = new Sample(10);
s2 = new Sample(20);
s3 = new Sample(30);
Trier trier(s1, s2, s3);
trier.printI();
t.attach_us(callback(&trier, &Trier::printI), 1000000);
}

Hello Dima,
I believe you need an infinite while loop running when using Ticker. For instance:
Trier trier(s1, s2, s3);
trier.printI();
t.attach_us(callback(&trier, &Trier::printI), 1000000);
}
//new code
while(1){
}
I added the empty while loop and it was working properly. Hope this helps!

Hi Karen,
To say that you saved a poor man's life is to say nothing. :-) Thank you VERY much, Karen. I wonder why the while loop plays a role here? Do you have any clues?
