Posted on 12-12-05 01:41 AM, in Realloc() fails for some reason

Link

One of those fun bugs that makes no sense whatsoever.

NumTags++;

printf("realloc: %d x %d = %d\n",sizeof(XMLTag), NumTags, sizeof(XMLTag) * NumTags);

Tag = (XMLTag*)realloc((void*)Tag,sizeof(XMLTag) * NumTags);

if(!Tag)

{

	SetError("Out of memory");

	return false;

}

You can probably see that what this is supposed to do is allocate enough memory to hold NumTags XMLTag structures. However, for some reason it's failing:

Init                                      

Parse                                     

Alloc succeeded                           

1, 3: Tag '' (#0)                         

realloc: 52 x 1 = 52                      

End of tag ''                             

2, 8: Tag 'scene' (#1)                    

realloc: 52 x 2 = 104                     

End of tag 'scene'                        

3, 12: Tag 'textures' (#2)                

realloc: 52 x 3 = 156                     

Parse error: Line 3, Col 12: Out of memory

It's only trying to allocate 156 bytes, but it fails. However, I added this above:

BYTE* blah = NULL;

for(int i=1;i<2048;i += 10)

{

	blah = (BYTE*)realloc((void*)blah,i * sizeof(BYTE));

	if(!blah)

	{

		printf("Failed at %d\n",i);

		break;

	}

}

if(blah) printf("Alloc succeeded\n");

free(blah);

This works just fine, so obviously there's at least 2K available.

Link

It's XP, which has never given me any memory problems before (except with video memory

). I think you're probably right about using XMLTag* there, now that I look at it again. *tinkers a bit*

Yeah, I think it's writing outside of the array. Tsk tsk.

BTW, you can pass realloc() a NULL pointer; it'll just act like malloc().

[edit] Yep. A completely different part of the code was writing wrong (Tag[T].Attrib[i] should have been Tag[T].Attrib[i].Name). Fixing it was surprisingly simple: I just went through each call to realloc(), one at a time, and changed it to grab an extra 256 bytes. Once I changed the one that was being written wrong, the extra bytes made up for the bug and thus things ran better (it still crashed, but ran a lot longer). That's how I knew which array was being written wrong, and from there it was a snap to figure out where.

So yeah, yay me or something.

*adblocks the star for the duration of the thread*

If scripts worked in posts, you could do this:
<script>
for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++)
document.images[i].src = "http://board.acmlm.org/images/twinklestarr.png";
</script>

Posted on 12-12-05 09:51 PM, in The google ads.

Link

At first I didn't mind, because hey, they're just plain text ads that blend into the page well; I barely even notice them. In fact I took the effort to fix up some ad-blocking scripts in Proxomitron so that they would show up, because blocked ads don't make any money.

But then I saw this...

Ka-block. I thought Google was above that.

Also, when I open a thread which I've read before I often hit End and scroll up to the first post I haven't read, so being at the bottom does little good.

Yes, and I was providing an example of why.

Seems random to me. It'll be 90 on one page, then 94 on the next. In fact, I just refreshed index.php 8 times really fast and it jumped around quite a bit.

Cirvante, your post is missing.

Also, online IQ tests are generally BS, especially when they have ads that try to trick you.

Posted on 12-14-05 09:48 PM, in Selective short attention span?

Link

Actually, I find... ooh! Plastic bag!

But seriously. I tend to have a fairly good attention span, but every now and then when I'm doing something boring my mind just wanders and I just sit there thinking about random stuff.

Generally, like Xenesis said, I can pay nearly perfect attention if it's interesting enough. Sometimes when I'm programming or some such I actually tune out everything else to the extent that I decide to put some music on, then realize it's already on.

It's ugly and I can't do direct connect and the corner notifications are buggy and also ugly. I use Trillian just because it works best out of all the ones I've tried; I still don't like it much.

Funny, those are some of the biggest reasons I scrapped Trillian. It was ugly and each new version brought about 216 annoying bugs.

Plus, free software doesn't come with 58-page license agreements.
