MQTT publish exception(Access violation reading location)

Question

When I am publishing message via mqtt::publish(), I am getting below exception.

Exception thrown at 0x00007FF68471021C in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000008

Part of code where I am publishing my message :

This error is occurring in Windows Visual Studio. I am using same code in one project written using Netbean IDE for linux(Raspberry Pi). mqtt is installed in Raspberry using apt get .There it is working without any issue.

OS : Windows 10 Home
