My MUD got as far as Loading mail system, when it suddenlycrashed. I added
logs in the code to look for the spot where it happened, and finally found my
way into scan_file, in mail.c.
int scan_file(void)
{
FILE *mail_file;
header_block_type next_block;
int total_messages = 0, block_num = 0;
log("scan_file-- Open mail file");
if (!(mail_file = fopen(MAIL_FILE, "r"))) {
log("Mail file non-existant... creating new file.");
touch(MAIL_FILE);
return 1;
}
log("While"); <------Bootup gets as far as this line, so it must be
while.
while (fread(&next_block, sizeof(header_block_type), 1, mail_file)) {
log("If");
if (next_block.block_type == HEADER_BLOCK) {
... etc ...
I looked for fread, realized that it was a function from one of those #include
<some-system-header>...Couldn't figure out why it was doing this. Anyone have
any clue?
Could it have to do with this?
/* Define if your compiler does not prototype fread(). */
#undef NEED_FREAD_PROTO
I'm using MSVC++ 5.0, Windows95. This started just after I patched in the
regen patch for DG and the abbreviations snippet.
Please flame me, not the list. Sorry I'm a newbie!
