Arg. It's late, I'm tired, and I made some silly mistakes in that... namely
dereferencing some pointers, and fixing a compiler warning. So here's the
-real- code (I think, there may still be issues in it):
Char *p, *q;
Char *packed;
Char *field[NUM_FIELDS];
Char *fieldp = field;
UInt32 packed_size = 0;
UInt16 i;
// First pass, find the packed size of the strings.
i = NUM_FIELDS;
while ( i-- ) packed_size += StrLen(*fieldp++) + 1;
// Allocate enough space for the packed strings.
packed = (Char *)MemPtrNew(sizeof(Char) * packed_size);
p = packed;
// Now, copy the strings. This looks crufty, but makes sense.
i = NUM_FIELDS;
fieldp = field; // re-set the field pointer
while ( i-- ) {
q = *fieldp++;
while ( (*p++ = *q++) );
}
