Re: [Dev-C++] endless loop

You haven't shown the full code for your objects, but...

The inner loop seems to add multiple entries to the SEQ hash.
The outher loop removes a single entry from the SEQ hash.

That makes SEQ constantly growing, making SEQ.size constantly growing.

Note that for most container classes (STL or home-grown), it is
problematic to iterate through all elements while at the same time add or
remove entries.
