I hate to dust off a super old thread, but I am about to loose my mind with
some NULL crashing strdup crap!!!!!
I'm running on SUSE 8.0, and I keep having problems with redit crashing if
you try to save an empty room desc.
Something like...
(gdb) bt
#0 0x400d08ba in strdup () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x08080c6f in copy_room_strings (dest=0x8100028, source=0x8137350)
at genwld.c:429
#2 0x08080b52 in copy_room (to=0x8100028, from=0x8137350) at genwld.c:367
#3 0x0807ff27 in add_room (room=0x8137350) at genwld.c:43
#4 0x0809878f in redit_save_internally (d=0x8132ce0) at redit.c:159
#5 0x0809919e in redit_parse (d=0x8132ce0, arg=0xbffff30c "y") at
redit.c:445
#6 0x0808b448 in nanny (d=0x8132ce0, arg=0xbffff30c "y") at
interpreter.c:1409
#7 0x0806d412 in game_loop (mother_desc=3) at comm.c:755
#8 0x0806cac2 in init_game (port=4001) at comm.c:380
#9 0x0806c993 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff6f4) at comm.c:327
#10 0x400749ed in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
So should I be trying to use str_dup instead? I'm not too keen on some of
this...any insight would be very helpful!
Thanks
