Hi,
I have been core dumping my panics to a remote machine and been using
gdb to figure out where in my
NKE it keeps crashing, and it appears to be randomly crashing at
different parts.
maybe due to the fact I call _MALLOC and get space but it never
allocated it. because I have a structure pointer that I allocate
and store things in there, but it is crashing at this line:
one->thedata = data;
To me one must not be allocated so it crashes, how do I ensure that
calling _MALLOC is going to give me space and not crash my NKE???
In all likelihood, it is not _MALLOC that is crashing your NKE. If you
call _MALLOC and it returns with an allocation, then you have the
space.
Are you sure that you get the space you requested? Are you checking
for errors? Are you using the correct arguments? The last code snippet
you posted, as I recall, had bad arguments in the call.
Regards,
Justin
