Guys,
I think that I found a bug in the qlib_h include file used by C68.
Here are the details:
In the 'qdirect' structure, the member 'd_name' is defined as:
char d_name[36];
This works as long as the directory/file name is 35 or fewer
characters and holds a properly terminated C string (terminates with
a '0'). However, if the total name length is actually 36 characters,
then there is no termination. As far as I can tell the structure
does properly hold everything and isn't corrupt, just no termination
in that one case.
This might explain why in a few problems with long file names, I see
handling problems but not in others (compiled in C68 versus assembly
or compiled SBASIC for example?).
If I am correct this structure should define it as:
char d_name[37];
to allow room for the termination character of a C string.
Jim
