RE: newwin seg fault

[Joe Davies]

Hello Thomas,

My understanding was that it returned a window which filled to the right of
the screen.  I *think* I've figured it out: in one of my following routines,
I must have a call to a function that tries to print to a line outside of
the bounds of the main window.  ie printing to (17,1) where the window is
only defined to (14,1).

Stupid thing now that I think about it...

Thanks for your help!
Joe

That's a window which has zero columns.  Doesn't newwin return a null
pointer
in that case?

       WINDOW *newwin(int nlines, int ncols, int begin_y, int begin_x);
