Intermittent memory exception error with COM communication

This code is for Windows 7. I am trying to grab the response to an AT command and print just the part of the string I need. Visual Studio Express is randomly telling me I have memory exceptions with this code. It doesn't happen every time.

#include <Windows.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    HANDLE hSerial = CreateFile("CO开发者_Go百科M3",GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,0,0,OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,0);

    if(hSerial==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
        std::cout << "Insert error message";

    DCB dcbSerialParams = {0};
    dcbSerialParams.DCBlength=sizeof(dcbSerialParams);

    if (!GetCommState(hSerial, &dcbSerialParams)) 
        std::cout << "Insert error message";

    dcbSerialParams.BaudRate=CBR_9600;
    dcbSerialParams.ByteSize=8;
    dcbSerialParams.StopBits=ONESTOPBIT;
    dcbSerialParams.Parity=NOPARITY;

    if (!SetCommState(hSerial,&dcbSerialParams))
        std::cout << "Insert error message";


    COMMTIMEOUTS timeouts={0};
    timeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout=50;
    timeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant=50;
    timeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier=10;
    timeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutConstant=50;
    timeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier=10;
    if(!SetCommTimeouts(hSerial, &timeouts))
        std::cout << "Insert error message";



while(1)
{
char szBuff[50+1] = {0};
char wzBuff[14] = {"AT+CSQ\r"};

DWORD dZBytesRead = 0;
DWORD dwBytesRead = 0;


if(!WriteFile(hSerial, wzBuff, 7, &dZBytesRead, NULL))
    std::cout << "Write error";

if(!ReadFile(hSerial, szBuff, 50, &dwBytesRead, NULL))
    std::cout << "Read Error";



std:: cout << szBuff;
std::string test = std::string(szBuff).substr(8,10);
std::cout << test;
Sleep(500);
}

return 0;
}

The built-in iterator debugging is going to complain about your substr() call. You are making some wrong assumptions:

• ReadFile() will only return what's available in the serial port receive buffer. Serial ports are slow, you typically only get one or two characters. You cannot ignore dwBytesRead.
• A serial port doesn't return C strings, it returns bytes. You won't get the zero terminator. Use dwBytesRead again to append the zero yourself.

Keep calling ReadFile() until you've received the full response. Typically terminated by a line feed character. Then process the response.
