rosbag::MessageInstance derefenced pointer error

edit

I am trying to follow this sample code to pull data from a bag file but am running into a bug that I cannot figure out. Hopefully this is the right forum to ask this in.

The c++ api specially "Example usage for read:" of the link below. http://wiki.ros.org/rosbag/Code%20API

I successfully recreated the write/read bag file examples, but when trying to apply to my own problem I cannot access the data within the returned pointer of rosbag::MessageInstance.instantiate().

I have a bag file containing topic /robot_mode of type std_msgs::Int8 that I would like to access its data member. However the call to robot_mode_p->data returns strange items.

Sample code:

BOOST_FOREACH(rosbag::MessageInstance const m, view)
{
    cout << m.getTopic() << endl;
    if (m.getTopic() == mode_topic )
    {
        std_msgs::Int8::ConstPtr robot_mode_p = m.instantiate<std_msgs::Int8>();
        std::string message_def = m.getDataType();
        cout << message_def << endl;
        cout << "robot_mode_p: " << *robot_mode_p << endl;
        if (robot_mode_p != nullptr)
            cout << "Dereferenced robot_mode: " << robot_mode_p->data << endl;
    }

}

I would expect in output of:

/robot_mode
std_msgs/Int8
robot_mode_p: data: 24

Dereferenced robot_mode: 24

But my code outputs:

/robot_mode
std_msgs/Int8
robot_mode_p: data: 24

Dereferenced robot_mode: 

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
