RE: [reSIProcate] Really Strange compiler behaviour

OK, I have finally fixed it. This has really cost me hours and

I still don't know WHY the problem existed.

 

In the end it was that crazy that even the following code did

not work:

 

void* test = (void*)mIncomingTarget;

 

After this line, test was 0 while I could verify in the debugger's

watch window that mIncomingTarget was a valid object

and I could browse its members. Really weird, isn't it?

 

The solution was to move the implementation code for

dumIncomingTarget and dumOutgoingTarget from the

header file to the cxx file. I've already checked in the change.

 

Best regards,

Subject: [reSIProcate] Really Strange compiler behaviour

Hi,

 

I am experiencing some really strange behaviour on the

following lines in the constructor of DialogUsageManager:

 

mIncomingTarget = new IncomingTarget(*this);

mOutgoingTarget = new OutgoingTarget(*this);

 

Actually the objects are created through _nh_malloc_dbg
when I debug through the generic runtime implementation
of the new operator; afterwards the constructors of
the object and the inherited objects are called. Though,
in the end the result from the new operator is not assigned
to the pointer variable i.e. in the end the pointer variable
is NULL.

But if I note the pointer from the operator new implementation
and assign it to the variable(s) manually in the debugger, everything
is fine!

Seems very strange to me! I'm using VS.NET 2005. All I could
think of here is probably the way the dum object itself is
passed into the constructor (*this)..?

Does anyone have an idea why this happens? I thought of
passing dum as a pointer instead, but that would require a
change to dum itself...

I would be very thankful for any hints on this, I have no other
idea about that...

Best regards,

Matthias Moetje
