new char(100) allocates ONE char and sets it to 100. You want new char[100].

Hi,

In my code, I do this...

 m_MyExtIP     = new char(100);

I run it with GuardMalloc, and it crashes here...

void
infoServer::setExtIP(char *ip)
{
if (m_MyExtIP == NULL) {
m_MyExtIP = new char(100);
}
strcpy(m_MyExtIP, ip); <---- This causes the crash. The size of the string is 16 bytes
}

But I allocate 100 bytes... and why when I do the 2nd alloc, it allocates
the 2nd one just 16 bytes past it, unstead of 100 bytes... Whats up with this?

John
