I debugged the program.
All working fine.
But when I return b in strdup(), it is not really returning to the main
program. That is, after the function call 'strdup' the value of b is not
'dinesh' bcos the address of b [assigned in strdup( )] is changed while
returning.
Is this clear ?
Just do a cut and paste and test this code.
Thanks all.
Dinesh.
char * strdup(char *a)
{
UInt16 len;
char *b;
len = StrLen(a);
if ( (b = MemPtrNew( len + 1 )) == NULL ) /* Address X assigned to b*/
return( NULL );
StrCopy(b,a);
return(b);
}
Boolean IvoxFormHandleEvent(EventPtr event)
{
...
....
switch (event->eType) {
case ctlSelectEvent: // A control button was pressed and released.
if (event->data.ctlSelect.controlID == MainRecordButton)
{
char *a;
char *b;
a = MemPtrNew(10);
StrCopy(a,"dinesh");
b = strdup(a);
/* Problem : Here is the Address of b is not X, so the value of b is not
"dinesh"*/
MemPtrFree(a);
MemPtrFree(b);
}
...
...
}
