Field gets overwritten when opening audiostream in OBOE

I am using OBOE to build an sound app. I have in my AudioEngine.cpp defined couple of fields (audiosample - float, starting position field - int field, sample lengths field - int field etc.) However one of the fields (sample lengts - int field) gets overwritten when I open the audiostream with playbackBuilder. See code

 AudioStreamBuilder playbackBuilder;

playbackBuilder.setPerformanceMode(PerformanceMode::LowLatency);
playbackBuilder.setSharingMode(SharingMode::Exclusive);
playbackBuilder.setChannelCount(ChannelCount::Mono);
playbackBuilder.setFormat(AudioFormat::Float);
playbackBuilder.setSampleRate(44100);
playbackBuilder.setCallback(this);
LOGD("samplelength[46]=%d",sampleLengths_[46]);
Result result = playbackBuilder.openStream(&outputStream_);
if (result != Result::OK) {
    LOGE("Error opening output stream_ %s",convertToText(result));
    return false;
}
LOGD("samplelength[46]=%d",sampleLengths_[46]);
auto setBufferSizeResult = outputStream_->setBufferSizeInFrames(outputStream_->getFramesPerBurst() * 2);
if (setBufferSizeResult) {
    LOGD("New buffer size is %d in frames",setBufferSizeResult.value());
}

The output from logcat is:

D/OboeAudio: samplelength[46]=0

NB: Value 2393 of the 46th element is exactly what I expect it to be. It is not a random number. It is initialized with the lines below. However it gets overwritteb (actualy the whole field) when opening stream.

This is the initialization code for this particular field - sampleLengths_ that gets overwritten:

sampleLengthsArrayLen_ = sampleLengthArrayLen;
sampleLengths_ = new int[sampleLengthArrayLen];
sampleLengths_ = sampleLengths;

Any hints why this happens? Bad memory mnagement? Thanks a lot. j

I strongly suspect that this is because you haven't initialised sampleLengths so the values you're reading are actually just random pieces of memory which get changed during program execution.

C++ supports initialization of an int array to all zeros by doing:

int sampleLengths[10] = { 0 };
