> What is the difference between av_store and av_push? av_store will store an SV in an array, taking an index to use. av_push is an implementation of Perl's push in XS; it will only push to the last element in an array. I'd imagine that av_push calls av_extend to ensure that you're not going outside the boundaries of your array, whereas av_store will let you assign out of bounds and cause badness. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but _Extending and Embedding Perl_, is a useful XS manual, published by Manning. It has documentation on av_store and av_push with sample XS code, along with the rest of of the Perl API and Perl's typemaps. There's a fair review (though I think I've found it far more helpful as an XS beginner than Nick suggests) at < http://london.pm.org/reviews/extending-and-embedding-perl.html >. > Bizarre copy of ARRAY in aassign at test_gala_query line 3958, > <STDIN> line 14. Segmentation Fault perldoc perldiag says: Bizarre copy of %s in %s (P) Perl detected an attempt to copy an internal value that is not copyable. .. but I'm afraid I'm not sure where that applies to your code. Perhaps someone else will be able to explain. :-) Hope this helps a little, - Chris. -- $a="printf.net"; Chris Ball | chris@void.$a | www.$a | finger: chris@$a | Q.
