The expression "(CoRCC::crateInfo_var)tempList" is not what you want.  It will construct a temporary crateInfo_var instance which will claim ownership of tempList.  When this temporary instance is destroyed (right after that line of code) then the crateInfo_var destructor will delete tempList.

This line will delete tempList for the second time, which is why you notice a segmentation fault here.

Try removing the type cast.  If you want to use a _var type, then you can declare tempList as that type.
