I did consider that. But there is not much place for printf. This is how it looks like: RETVAL = executebatch(sqlsrv, rows_affected); XSprePUSH; PUSHi((IV)RETVAL); } XSRETURN(1); } I assume these XSPrePUSH etc are macros, and if I generated the file after pre-processing, there would be more place for printf. But I ran out of steam there. > Since you're passing around SV*'s the bug might be in the code that you > wrote to handle the Perl datastructures if it's more than just a simple > SvIV on rows_affected or SvPV_nolen() on sqlsrv.

No. Then you typically get a segmentation fault, not an > SV* that just happens to point at &PL_sv_undef. Nevermind my drivel. :) About the only operation I do on sqlsrv is SvRV. The code for rows_affected is // Return rows_affected if required. if (sv_rows_affected != NULL) { sv_setiv(sv_rows_affected, rows_affected); } And it is not passed in any of the calls in the test. Hm, I made a change in the calling code, and then hard-coded rows_affected to be 4711 and added a tracing warn. Oh, no. Rows_affected is always returned correctly. It's only RETVAL that gets the wrong value. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esq...@sommarskog.se
