Description
psMemCheckType (& all of the corresponding types) seg faults if passed a
non-dynamically allocated variable. For instance, the following will produce a
seg fault,
psSphere temp;
psMemCheckType(PS_DATA_SPHERE, &temp);
Because this function is forced to use the deallocator to check the type, there
is no real way to fix this. We suggest simply adding a comment or warning to
the documentation concerning this issue.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The prototype for these functions are:
bool psMemCheckSphere(psPtr ptr);
We have already noted that "psPtr" means that the user should pass a pointer
that has a psMemBlock attached.
I wouldn't worry too much about these just yet, because we're considering
changing the system a bit (see bug 690).
