Hey all, Have a very peculiar problem. First off -
OS: FreeBSD 4.7 MySQL version: Ver 12.20 Distrib 4.0.13, for unknown-freebsd4.7 (i386) (I have also compiled 3.23.53) The problem: I have written a class that connects to and disconnects from the database. Everything works fine when I instantiate this class in another class to do some work, but when that class instantiates yet another class then it seems as though mysql_real_connect bombs, and I have a core file. In other works Works: class1 { function foo() { MYSQL mysql db.connect (&mysql) } }; Does not work: Class1 { function foo() { Class2 cl2; cl2.fod() } } Class2 { function fod() { db.connect() } } I have done all sorts of debugging and inspection, but I am unable to figure out what is causing this. Please send any ideas. DB function is here. (mysql_ptr points to a valid MYSQL object elsewhere) MYSQL *DB::db_connect (MYSQL* mysql_ptr) { /* * connect to the database */ char msg_buffer[2000]; Log log; /* * initialize the MYSQL pointer */ mysql_ptr = mysql_init(mysql_ptr); if (mysql_ptr == NULL) { printf ("ERROR: ptr is null!\n"); } if (!(mysql_real_connect (mysql_ptr, borg.db_host, borg.db_username,\ borg.db_passwd, borg.db_name, atoi(borg.db_port), NULL, 0))) { memset (msg_buffer, 0, sizeof(msg_buffer)); sprintf (msg_buffer, "ERROR: Failed to connect to database: Error: %s.", mysql_error(mysql_ptr)); log.log_entry (0, msg_buffer); return NULL; } return mysql_ptr; }; -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
