Hello,
I've looked at the poll patch at the developer site, and I liked the idea,
so I decided to create my own version of the poll patch since the one on
the developer site seems to be buggy and ugly.
I've made a function that I suspect for corrupting memory:
void poll_boot(void)
{
FILE *fl;
char line[READ_SIZE];
int nr;
if (!(fl = fopen(POLL_FILE, "r"))) {
mudlog(BRF, LVL_IMPL, TRUE, "SYSERR: Failed to open %s.", POLL_FILE);
return;
}
for (;;) {
if (!get_line(fl, line))
return;
if (*line == '$')
return;
if (*line == '#') {
if (sscanf(line, "#%d", &nr) != 1) {
log("SYSERR: Format error in %s.", POLL_FILE);
return;
}
if (!polls_index)
CREATE(polls_index, struct polls_data, polls_top + 1);
else
RECREATE(polls_index, struct polls_data, polls_top + 1);
parse_poll(fl, nr);
fclose(fl);
log(" Poll #%d loaded.", nr);
}
}
}
void parse_poll(FILE *fl, int virtual_nr)
{
int t[5];
char line[256], buf2[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
poll_nr++;
polls_top++;
polls_index[poll_nr].number = virtual_nr;
polls_index[poll_nr].name= fread_string(fl, buf2);
polls_index[poll_nr].desc = fread_string(fl, buf2);
polls_index[poll_nr].first_choice = fread_string(fl, buf2);
polls_index[poll_nr].second_choice = fread_string(fl, buf2);
polls_index[poll_nr].third_choice = fread_string(fl, buf2);
polls_index[poll_nr].fourth_choice = fread_string(fl, buf2);
polls_index[poll_nr].fifth_choice = fread_string(fl, buf2);
if (!get_line(fl,line) || sscanf(line, "%d %d %d %d %d %d", t, t + 1, t
+ 2, t + 3, t + 4, t + 5) != 6) {
fprintf(stderr, "Format error in poll #%d\n", virtual_nr);
exit(1);
}
polls_index[poll_nr].percents[0] = t[0];
polls_index[poll_nr].percents[1] = t[1];
polls_index[poll_nr].percents[2] = t[2];
polls_index[poll_nr].percents[3] = t[3];
polls_index[poll_nr].percents[4] = t[4];
polls_index[poll_nr].status = t[5];
}
However, not being the greatest coder out there, I cannot see what is
wrong with it. I would be gratefull if anyone of you would point me on the
mistakes I have probably made :)
