glib detected: malloc() memory curruption

I am using libxml2 library for XMl parsing and libxml++ is C++ wrapper over that. So I am using API of libxml++. I am creating my class and composing instance xmlpp::Node *pNode in that. my class also have funciton prepareXPathQuery() which creates query string and have other fucntion fireXpathQuery which internallly calls pNode->find() function which returns sets of node which matches with fired query but when I fire query it gives error glib detected: malloc() memory curruption and prints backtrace.

Code:
/*implemntation of class */
#include "ConfigFileParser.hpp"
include "defines.hpp"
#include <libxml++/libxml++.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class ConfigFileParser
{
std::string filePath;
xmlpp::DomParser parser;
xmlpp::Node *pNode;
char *query;
public:
/***************************************************

ConfigFileParser();

xmlpp::NodeSet fireXpathQuery(xmlpp::Node *node = NULL);
};
ConfigFileParser::ConfigFileParser()
{
filePath = XML_FILE_PATH;//XML file path is defined in defines.hpp
query = new char(MAX_QUERY_LENGTH);
parser.set_substitute_entities();
parser.parse_file(filePath);
pNode = parser.get_document()->get_root_node();
}
ConfigFileParser::~ConfigFileParser()
{
delete(pNode);
}
void ConfigFileParser::prepareXpathQuery(char *nodeName, char *attType, char *attName, int depth)
{
if(depth == 0)
{
sprintf(query,"%s%s%s%s%s%s%s","./",nodeName,"[@",attType,"='",attName,"']");
}
else
sprintf(query,"%s%s%s%s%s%s%s","//",nodeName,"[@",attType,"='",attName,"']");
}
xmlpp::NodeSet ConfigFileParser::fireXpathQuery(xmlpp::Node *node)
{
xmlpp::NodeSet set;
if(node != NULL)
set = node->find(query);
else
set = pNode->find(query);
return set;
}
 
int main()
{
int elementID;
int address;
char *text=NULL;
ConfigFileParser fileParser;
fileParser.prepareXpathQuery((char *)"Element", (char *)"type", (char *)"ModuleVoiceElem", 1);
xmlpp::NodeSet set = fileParser.fireXpathQuery();
xmlpp::Element *nodeElement = dynamic_cast<xmlpp::Element *>(*set.begin());
getBasicAttributes(elementID, address, text,nodeElement);
fillAmpDataStructure();
}

Not using code tags has destroyed all your indentation and filled your code with smilies. Please see the video tutorial on how to do so.

Instead of dynamic_cast, why not use the actual type set.begin() returns? After all, it might not be valid in all circumstances, and casting a 'no results' return into a pointer of the kind you wanted would probably crash.

even i faced the same problem in linux.adding -lmcheck while linking in my make file helped me in finding what the exact problem is and rectifying the problem.
