With the current CVS on my XP machine (the one that runs) I have been trying
to debug this problem. Here is the progress to date.
I have edited "free_data" as so to allow facilitate breakpoint setting
void free_data()
{
if ( _data )
free( _data );
_data = NULL;
}
and then set a breakpoint at the "if" statement.
If I single step (F11) at the first occurrence of the breakpoint it fails as
it enters "free( _data)"
My guess is that space is not allocated for the rumble.wav data.
Sadly I am retired now and it is several years since I last debugged a
program. Even then as a Fortran man my C++ skills were somewhat lacking an
things like pointers to pointers got my poor brain confused.
I suppose the good news is that I am able to duplicate the fault on the XP
machine (which normally runs without fault) simply by using debug runtime..
Hope this is some help.
