Re: Structs And PDB Generated by PalmDB.dll

[Keith Rollin]

OK, then what's going on?  Saying "I'm getting 
some dificulties..." and "... But this don't 
hapen" is not a very clear description of the 
problem.  :-)  If Text1, Text2, and Text3 are not 
pointing to what you think they should be 
pointing to, what *are* they pointing to?

Also, have you ensured that the compiler is 
laying out your struct as you intend?  You might 
want to have some code like:

        assert( offsetof( StructTest, Text1 ) == 0 );
        assert( offsetof( StructTest, Text2 ) == 6 );
        assert( offsetof( StructTest, Text3 ) == 21 );

Hy Keith!

The struct contain three *fixed* lenght strings, but, the fields of each
record generated by PalmDb.dll can contain 5, 14, 19 or less chars
respectively.
Thanks!

 The database contain recs that have 3 Char variable lenght
 fields. This the code, that works very well when is used
 with recs that is created by the device (using DmWrite).
 typedef struct {
     Char Text1[6];
     Chat Text2[15];
     Char Text3[20];
 > } StructTest

What do you mean by "variable length"?  I think that, to most people, the
above shows three *fixed* length fields.
