See below
loc = MemHandleLock(h);
strsize = StrLen(loc);
//strsize = 288628 again wrong, but at least it is consistent!
This makes no sense at all, and suggests a bug with your code. Pilrc
always puts the trailing nul on string resources, and StrLen should
not fail like that. How is the strsize variable declared?
loc is a char *, and strsize is long int.
There is a trailing null, as shown below.
loc = source;
while (*loc != 0) {i++; loc++;}
// i=3283 this is the correct value
I can't comment on this because I don't know how the variable source
got declared and assigned.
Sorry about the line loc=source. Just delete it, it was an erroneous
copy and paste.
It would be better if you could post a complete, compilable code
snippet, including all variable declaration and initialization.
void showProblem() {
MemHandle h;
long int strsize;
char * loc;
h = DmGet1Resource('tSTR', 2000);
strsize = MemHandleSize(h); //Yields incorrect value ~ 288628
loc = MemHandleLock(h);
strsize = StrLen(loc); //Also gives the same wrong value
strsize = 0;
while (*loc != 0) strsize ++; loc++;} //Gives correct value of 3283
}
