Pavel & All,
I am completely unfamiliar with reading a map file. I do see malloc in it,
but it is in numerous places. Does that mean it is called?
Also, I have run the previous version of this code a long time using
"sprintf" and have never had a problem. Does sprintf use malloc all the
time or only on certain occasions ? Does the rt-module maybe or maybe not
work depending on your luck ?
I just want to understand because I went through using "sprintf" in August
2000 and Pavel suggested the "ld" command. I also tried your libraries and
we couldn't get them to work (remember) it was more complicated than you
thought.
So, if my solution is to get this rt libc I'm all for doing that. I just
want to understand why this is now crashing my stuff.
Any insight is welcome -
Janet Estabridis

Hi Janet,
I do not know which C library you use. Anyway, sprintf may call
malloc/free functions that are forbidden in RT threads. Have a look at
your map file if they are there. You may want to use some debugging
tools to check if malloc is really called.
Recently, some reduced C libraries were recommended in this list for
RT use, but I did not try them.
