J,

I'm not quite sure, but i believe that you are (as the type suggests) passing a pointer as an argument to a function that actually expects an allocated object.

i suggest you try changing
StringPtr strAPtr;
into:
Str255 PStrA;

and
CFStringGetPascalString((CFStringRef) strA, strAPtr, 256, kCFStringEncodingASCII);
into

CFStringGetPascalString((CFStringRef) strA, &PStrA, 256, kCFStringEncodingASCII);

Hope that helps,


Robert K.

Okay, I admit that my standard C knowledge is severely lacking here. I've been *meaning* to read the $50 books I bought, really I have. ;-) In the mean time, the following code dies at the indicated line (// DIES HERE) with a SIGSEGV / EXEC_BAD_ACCESS.

NSString * strA = [preferences objectForKey:@"contentsa"];
NSString * strB = [preferences objectForKey:@"contentsb"];
StringPtr strAPtr;
StringPtr strBPtr;

CFStringGetPascalString((CFStringRef) strA, strAPtr, 256, kCFStringEncodingASCII); // DIES HERE
CFStringGetPascalString((CFStringRef) strB, strBPtr, 256, kCFStringEncodingASCII);

... any takers?
