Re: osx test

[John Darrington]

What happens if you also add a line before the call to terminal_init
in main.c like:

printf ("%s:%d %p %p\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, &view_width_p,*view_length_p);

and can you dereference view_{width,length}_p inside terminal_init, or
is this where the problems start?

     On Mac OSX, the terminal version of pspp crashes here, in main.c:
     
     terminal_init (&view_width_p, &view_length_p);
     
     The trouble seems to be here:
     
     void
     terminal_init (int **view_width_p, int **view_length_p)
     {
       printf ("%x\t%x\n", view_width_p, view_length_p)
       *view_width_p = &view_width;
       *view_length_p = &view_length;
       terminal_check_size ();
     }
     
     It shows view_width_p has address 0xfffffff0, and view_length_p
     has address 0xffffffec. 
     
     I tried fixing this by malloc'ing view_width_p and view_length_p
     in main(). Doing so gave the pointers acceptable addresses, but 
     those addresses seem to be overwritten by the time terminal_init()
     is called. The problem is that view_width_p and view_length_p don't
     seem to be referenced anywhere in main() between their declarations
     and the call to terminal_init(). I'm not sure what's going on.
