Segmentation Fault

Aegon Targaryen (2)
I am writing this program that runs in XCode but when I compile it in g++ and execute it I get a segmentation error. After an extensive search I have found the function where the error is happening but I cannot figure out what is happening.

This is my header File

//libraries

class ReadRecord {
    
public:
    
    ReadRecord(string);
    
    void CountFile(string);
    void ReadFile (string);
    void SortNames ();
    void Summary();
    
    int CountPie();
    int CountCake();
    
    
private:
    
    struct Roster {
        string LName;
        string FName;
	char Cheesecake;
    };
    
    Roster * MyRoster;
    
    int TotalCount;
    
};

//structure definition

#endif /* defined(_RECORD__) */



And this is the function causing the Problem:

void ReadRecord::ReadFile(string filename)
{
    MyRoster = new Roster [TotalCount];
    
    ifstream in;
    in.open (filename.c_str());
    for (int q = 0; q < TotalCount; q++)
    {
        in >> MyRoster[q].LName;
        in >> MyRoster[q].FName;
        in >> MyRoster[q].Cheesecake;
    }
    in.close();
}

Have you initialized TotalCount, and to what value?

That was exactly it. I thought I had tested for that so it did not occurred to me to check. Thank you !
