hi,
when I compile and run the following code it does *not* crash on my machine:
1 2 int main(void) 3 { 4 typedef unsigned char BYTE; 5 int nNewSize = 1; 6 7 void** m_pData = ( void ** ) new BYTE[ nNewSize * sizeof( BYTE *) ]; 8 9 return 0; 10 } 11
So I assume that it crashes when you *use* the void** m_pData pointer?
I also do not understand why you declare (and cast) the m_pData pointer to void** since new and malloc return a void* pointer.
Maybe that is the reason why it crashes ?
cheers,
Arno
Hi,
I am using g++ version 2.95.2. The following code crashes
intermittently
typedef unsigned char BYTE; int nNewSize = 1;
void** m_pData = ( void ** ) new BYTE[ nNewSize * sizeof( BYTE * ) ];
Back trace on gdb does not give me the lib where it crashes
Then, I tried this,
void** m_pData = ( void ** )malloc( nNewSize * sizeof( void * ) );
and even
void** m_pData = ( void ** )malloc( 4 );
But it always gives a SIGSEGV. bt from gdb in this case gives
#0 in _smalloc() from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #1 in malloc() from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
What am I doing wrong? Have I run out of virtual memory for malloc to crash?
TIA,
Kartik
