Cannot delete octomap::OcTree object

edit

I am currently working with the octomap library in ROS to provide mapping capabilities for a SLAM solution I am working on. I am developing a particle filter, and for each particle, I would like to have a different map. I do this by keeping an octomap::OcTree *octo_map as a member of the particle class. On all constructors of the class, I call this->octo_map = new octomap::OcTree(0.5) (where 0.5 is just a parameter for the resolution). Naturally, in the class destructor, I call delete this->octo_map. The program compiles correctly and it gives me no warnings (I added the lines find_package(octomap REQUIRED) and include_directories(${OCTOMAP_INCLUDE_DIRS}), as well as the dependencies octomap_msgs and octomap_ros in the find_packages() declaration to the 'CMakeLists.txt').

During the program's execution, everything works fine up until the moment when it receives a 'SIGABORT'. I debugged this and found that this happens when the delete is called on the OcTree for trying to deallocate an invalid pointer (this code is part of the library, it doesn't happen inside my own code).

This is what I get when running gdb:

*** Error in `/home/daniel/Jacobs/Thesis/ros_ws/devel/lib/bt_particle_filter/bt_particle_filter': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000006a0c300 ***
