Debug error - R6025 pure virtual function call (No virtual called)

I am new to C++ and am trying to go through some OpenCV tutorials I found online. I produced the code exactly as it was found in Visual Studio 2013 and was able to run the code properly. However, I keep getting an error:

(Press Retry to debug the application) Debug Error!

Program: ...rface_Basics\x64\Debug\OpenCV_Basics_CPP_Interface_Basics.exe

R6025 - pure virtual function call

(Press Retry to debug the application)

I was reading about pure virtual functions and it sounded like you had to at least declare a virtual function for this error to occur which has only lead to more confusion. Below is my code:

#include <opencv2\opencv.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

//main functions
void processImage();
void displayGraphics();

//images
Mat image;
Mat processedImage;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    //create a window
    namedWindow("Image");
    namedWindow("ProcessedImage");

    //load the image
    if (argc > 1)
        image = imread(argv[1]);
    else
        image = imread("lena.jpg");
    if (image.empty())
        exit(1);

    processImage();
    displayGraphics();

    waitKey(0);

    return 0;
}

void displayGraphics()
{
    //display both images
    imshow("Image", image);
    imshow("ProcessedImage", processedImage);
}

void processImage()
{
    int x, y;
    Vec3b pixel;
    unsigned char R, G, B;
    processedImage = image.clone();

    for (y = 0; y < processedImage.rows; y++)
    {
        for (x = 0; x < processedImage.cols; x++)
        {
            // Get the pixel at (x,y)
            pixel = processedImage.at<Vec3b>(y, x);
            // Get the separate colors
            B = pixel[0];
            G = pixel[1];
            R = pixel[2];
            // Assign the complement of each color
            pixel[0] = 255 - B;
            pixel[1] = 255 - G;
            pixel[2] = 255 - R;
            // Write the pixel back to the image
            processedImage.at<Vec3b>(y, x) = pixel;
        }
    }
}

I have tried removing arguments from the main function and going through the debug process provided in the quote above. However, it just calls this crt0msg.c file and highlights case 1 of section #ifdef _DEBUG.

Any help resolving this issue would be much appreciated.

Using a static or global Mat causing the issue.

I found the problem, in

>    MatAllocator* Mat::getStdAllocator() {
>    static StdMatAllocator allocator;//it's static. but mat's destructor need >it. so when that's have a static or global mat, can not be guaranteed this >allocator's destructor after that static or global mat.
>    return allocator;
>    }

this is an open defect in OpenCV (not fixed yet). Try to update your open CV to the latest version , the defect record mention a partial fix that maybe help you overcome this issue.
