SIGSEGV when parsing string with JsonCpp

Question

I have a task serialized as JSON:

{
  text: "Some task",
  status: 1
}

I'm using this function inside a Serialize namespace:

Task parseTask(std::string task) {
    Json::Value root;
    Json::Reader reader;

    if(reader.parse(task, root, false)) {
        std::string text = root["text"].asString();
        int status = root["status"].asInt();

        Task result(text);
        if(status == 1) result.setCompleted();
        return result;
    }
}

I'm calling the function as follow:

Task t = Serialize::parseTask("{ text: \"Some Task\", status: 1 }");

And compiling with -ljsoncpp option. However I get:

terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

I've been sweeping trough JsonCpp documentation but can't seem to find whats wrong with my code.

I haven't looked at your code, but your JSON is not valid. Key names must be surrounded with quotation marks. Try:

Task t = Serialize::parseTask("{ \"text\": \"Some Task\", \"status\": 1 }");
