 | | memory leak in string handling
|
|
This is not, as far as I know, something that is the matter with legos, but rather with my C programming skills. I'm trying to write the function strcat, but apparantly I'm losing memory somewhere. If anyone can see any apparant leak, please let me (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Thank you everyone who helped out. The strcat function works like a charm. Unfortunately, the memory leak is still there. I'm beginning to think it might be that the strings are never deallocated at all. I'm going to have to check so that the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

And the problem is solved. Perhaps my pains can be used for something good anyway. Perhaps the people who suggested their beautiful strcat-functions can have (at least the prettiest one) them included in a future release. And if you're wondering how (...)
