Hmmm... here is the source code: IFHP/src/ifhp.c, line 2962 -
(and excerts from ifhp.h):
#define ISNULL(X) ((X==0) || ((cval(X))==0))
#define cval(x) (int)(*(unsigned char *)(x))
if( !ISNULL( pgm ) ){
LOGMSG( "Send_job: job type '%s', converter '%s'",
language, pgm );
I am baffled. How can you get "converter '<NULL>'" out here? This is the same
as doing (I hope):
if( !((pgm == 0) || ((int)(*(unsigned char *)(pgm)) == 0 )) ){
LOGMSG( "Send_job: job type '%s', converter '%s'",
language, pgm );
Note that the 'LOGMSG' calls SNPRINTF which prints the
0 (NULL) pointer value as '<NULL>'.
}
I don't have a machine to test this with, but I would be REALLY REALLY
interested to see if you could try:
if( pgm == 0 || *pgm == 0 ){
LOGMSG( "Send_job: job type '%s', converter '%s'",
language, pgm );
and see if you get the same result, and then keep putting things
back in until you find the thing that causes the difference.
