At any rate, if you look at programs/dtinfo/DtMmdb/object/pstring.h you will see that this member variable is not available if everything is built with C_API defined, which C_API should always be defined. So I am guessing that when /programs/dtinfo/dtinfo/src/Marks/Mark_mmdb.C was compiled, C_API was not defined as it should be. This would then cause pstring::v_io_buf_ptr to be used instead, which you should see if you run 'nm' on the programs/dtinfo/DtMmdb/libDtMmdb.so.2.1 library. > TLDR; Need help with optimization patch, can provide WIP patch if needed TLDR; ensure C_API is defined when Marks/*.C is compiled...? -jon > > Thank you for your time, > -Chase > > > > > _______________________________________________ > cdesktopenv-devel mailing list > cdesktopenv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cdesktopenv-devel > -- Jon Trulson "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
