Hello,
I am running a CircleMUD bpl18 with MySQL on a Linux machine. I just
attempted to put in the Buffer patch by George, and I have it working as far
as booting and running. I changed so that it runs solely on the new buffers
only, and then of course I get errors, but I have an error in a macro, and
since memory allocation/free'ing is not my strong side, I could use some
help to adapt these macros to the new buffers.
The link to the patch is:
http://www.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/code/utils/buffer18.patch
Here are my defines that I get trouble with:
#define SQL_MALLOC(source, dest) ((dest) = (char *)malloc( (source) ?
strlen((source)) * 2 + 1 : 1 ));\
if(!(source)) strcpy((dest), " ");
#define SQL_ESC(source, dest) if(source) mysql_escape_string(dest,
source, strlen(source)); else dest[0]='\0'
#define SQL_FREE(string) if(string) free(string);
The errors reported are:
BUF: SYSERR: detach_buffer: No buffer->data 0x82608f0 found for do_help:233.
The code where the error is in do_help:
if (*searcharg)
SQL_FREE(searcharg);
If you need any help on the mysql_escape_string, you can find that in the
MySQL C API documentation at:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/C/C.html
I would appreciate any help on this, since I am a complete moron when it
comes to memory handling of course, and know nothing of these things that I
meddle in. :)
Kindest Regards,
/Torgny
