Loads of btRigidBody's gives stackoverflowerror

I am trying to allocate memory for 90.000 btRigidBody's, but it is giving me stackoverflowerror, it supposedly is coming from the fact that it is asking too much non-dynamically allocated memory.
Current code:
Code: Select all
btRigidBody* tileRigidBody[300][300]
How I read I should dynamically allocate with integers:
Would dynamic allocation fix the issue + how can I do it for btRigidBody, as it is giving me an issue that no constructor exists.

Well there's no default constructor, which is why you can't just allocate them like you are trying with new. There's probably a cleaner way to do this with std containers, which you should look into ... I'm more of a C guy and this is basically what C++ inherited from C.
Single dimension of btRigidBody:
Code: Select all
btRigidBody **rbArray = new btRigidBody*[300]; //returns a pointer to a btRigidBody*
for (int x=0;x<300;x++) rbArray[x] = new btRigidBody(/* constructor arguments here */); //returns a btRigidBody*
Multi-dimension:
Code: Select all
btRigidBody ***rbArray = new btRigidBody**[300]; //returns a pointer to a btRigidBody** ... double pointer so intense
for (int x = 0; x < 300; x++) {
rbArray[x] = new btRigidBody*[300]; //returns a pointer to a btRigidBody*
for (int y = 0; y < 300; y++) {
rbArray[x][y] = new btRigidBody(/* constructor arguments here */); //returns a btRigidBody*
}
}
