I can only second this. The API must have been designed eons ago and never changed since. > The problem should be of course some minor allocation problem which > is, up to my experience, not hard to "achieve" with this API. Apparently I freed a buffer when I was not supposed to. I've checked in a fixed version of dbd_firebird.c which works mostly ok on both FreeBSD and Debian. That is, it no longer crashes on Debian, although I still get the "unsuccessful metadata update" error in the "Drop table" test on both platforms. I'll look into this as well. I also see some suspicious values in the data retrieval tests, so this asks for a little additional polish. I'd appreciate if you could confirm the fix on Ubuntu. > And the platform dependence, that is again a weird issue... This is most likely due to the fact that FreeBSD uses an entirely different and far more versatile malloc() implementation. Using the default settings allocated memory access is very forgiving on FreeBSD, so it is always a good idea to use valgrind. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka markus.hoeni...@cats.de (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Libdbi-drivers-devel mailing list Libdbi-drivers-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libdbi-drivers-devel
