greetings keith,
sorry, addled brain. i should have pasted in the context code as well. Yes,
"money" is an int, an Int16 to be exact. My NON-NULL comment was referring
to the Char* which is what object->GetName() would be returning which is
where I assumed the bus error was originating from.
Well, it looks like that helped. I switched from using %ld to %d and it
doesn't crash anymore.
I guess I have always assumed that it was safe to print to use %ld (on other
platforms, I've been able to inter-change %ld and %d with no consequences).
Guess I will need to change my asssumption!
Do you (or does anyone else) know where I can find more information on the
ShellCmd.h functions specifically associated with printing out logging
information to the Console Window? I see the documentation on creating
commands for the Console Window. I was looking for more information on what
the remainder of the functions in that header file do (I can guess, mostly,
from their definition, but it would be nice to see some docs as well).
thanks for the help!
