Try "bt". This will give you a list of what called it, and you can see where there might be some corrupt data.

My guess is that "cmd" is corrupted. I note that the addresses of your code are in the 0x004fab2d region, but suddenly it jumps to 0x61086211 and then seems to get into a bit of a loop.

The line:

(*cmd->do_fun) ( ch, argument );

basically is executing the function contained in "do_fun" which "cmd" is pointing to, passing ch and argument to it.

Next time I would see if "cmd" looks reasonable, eg. in gdb type:

set print pretty
p *cmd

You should see something like this:


(gdb) set print pretty
(gdb) p *cmd
$2 = {
  next = 0x81bfef8,
  name = 0x81bfee8 "say",
  do_fun = 0x804b896 <do_say(char_data*, char*)>,
  flags = 0,
  position = 6,
  level = 0,
  log = 0,
  userec = {
    num_uses = 0,
    total_time = {
      tv_sec = 0,
      tv_usec = 0
    },
    min_time = {
      tv_sec = 0,
      tv_usec = 0
    },
    max_time = {
      tv_sec = 0,
      tv_usec = 0
    }
  },
  lag_count = 0
}
(gdb)


This at least confirms that "cmd" is reasonable. These two lines in particular seem to agree with each other:



  name = 0x81bfee8 "say",
  do_fun = 0x804b896 <do_say(char_data*, char*)>,

here's what happens when i crash my mud, bt, and then do what you said. 



(gdb) set print pretty
(gdb) p *cmd
No symbol "cmd" in current context.


this whole gdb thing is confusing to me because everything that i need to do doesn't work. lol. it only crashes with note send and note remove(so far from what all i've seen anyways) so i would say that i've just forgotton to to do something while porting it over. here's part of my note code.


if ( !str_cmp( arg, "post" ) || !str_prefix( arg, "send" ) )
    {
	FILE *fp;
	char *strtime;

	if ( !ch->pnote )
	{
	    send_to_char( "You have no note in progress.\n\r", ch );
	    return;
	}

	if ( !str_cmp( ch->pnote->to_list, "" ) )
	{
	    send_to_char(
	      "You need to provide a recipient (name, all, or immortal).\n\r",
			 ch );
	    return;
	}

	if ( !str_cmp( ch->pnote->subject, "" ) )
	{
	    send_to_char( "You need to provide a subject.\n\r", ch );
	    return;
	}

	ch->pnote->next			= NULL;
	strtime				= ctime( &current_time );
	strtime[strlen(strtime)-1]	= '\0';
	STRFREE( ch->pnote->date );
	ch->pnote->date			= str_dup( strtime );
	ch->pnote->date_stamp           = current_time;


the note send function is in there. wouldn't think you would find anything. but just puttin it in. also this:


pnote		  = malloc ( sizeof( *pnote ) );

that used to be this in envy:

pnote		  = alloc_perm ( sizeof( *pnote ) );


would that have something to do with it as well? smaug doesn't use alloc_perm, so i just went with the malloc sense that was used alot. is that bad? lol

thanks for the help

here's my out put

<1501hp 493m 1240mv>
< > note remove 0

the note starts off with 0, so i tried to remove 0.

here's my bug for note remove:


#8  0x61086211 in cygwin1!aclcheck () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
#9  0x0048277f in do_note (ch=0x1038fa58, argument=0x22ea2c "0")

#12 0x004b4004 in main (argc=1, argv=0x10010dc0) at comm.c:289


here's the code:


boards.c

if ( !str_cmp( arg, "remove" ) )
    {
	if ( !is_number( argument ) )
	{
	    send_to_char( "Note remove which number?\n\r", ch );
	    return;
	}

	anum = atoi( argument );
	vnum = 0;
	for ( pnote = note_list; pnote; pnote = pnote->next )
	{
	    if ( is_note_to( ch, pnote ) && vnum++ == anum )
	    {
		note_remove( ch, pnote ); <----465
		send_to_char( "Ok.\n\r", ch );
		return;
	    }
	}

	send_to_char( "No such note.\n\r", ch );
	return;
    }

    send_to_char( "Huh?  Type 'help note' for usage.\n\r", ch );
    return;
}


interp.c line 547 


/*
     * Dispatch the command.
     */
    ch->prev_cmd = ch->last_cmd;    /* haus, for automapping */
    ch->last_cmd = cmd->do_fun;
    start_timer(&time_used);
    (*cmd->do_fun) ( ch, argument ); <---547
    end_timer(&time_used);

comm.c line 643

switch( d->connected )
			  {
			   default:
 				nanny( d, cmdline );
				break;
			   case CON_PLAYING:
				interpret( d->character, cmdline ); <---line 643
				break;
			   case CON_EDITING:
				edit_buffer( d->character, cmdline );
				break;
			  }

comm.c line 289

    log_string( log_buf );
    game_loop( );  <--- 289
    
    closesocket( control  );
    closesocket( control2 );
    closesocket( conclient);
    closesocket( conjava  );


so it goes into boards.c for that one. i don't know whats really goin on.

OK, you need to be in a context where cmd exists.

From your earlier post ...

Quote:


#9  0x004fab2d in interpret (ch=0x1038fce0, argument=0x22ea25 "send")
    at interp.c:547
#10 0x004b4e07 in game_loop () at comm.c:643
#11 0x004b4004 in main (argc=1, argv=0x10010dc0) at comm.c:289


that's my bt.

here are those lines of code:


interp.c line 547 


/*
     * Dispatch the command.
     */
    ch->prev_cmd = ch->last_cmd;    /* haus, for automapping */
    ch->last_cmd = cmd->do_fun;
    start_timer(&time_used);
    (*cmd->do_fun) ( ch, argument ); <---547
    end_timer(&time_used);



You can see that "cmd" exists in the code above, which is frame #9 in the bt. So you would type:


frame 9
set print pretty
p *cmd


Strangely enough, my version of note_remove, the line it seems to crash on, has 3 arguments, not the 2 you have ...


void    note_remove     args( ( CHAR_DATA *ch, BOARD_DATA *board, 
                               NOTE_DATA *pnote ) );

i completely removed boards from my mud. i just wanted the envy note system so my smaug note remove now only has two args

char_data and note_data

could something be trying to call that differently and that is what is screwing up, or is it just from the code and it wouldn't do anything?

well anyways, here's my gdb now after p *cmd


(gdb) p *cmd
$1 = {
  next = 0x10017088,
  name = 0x10017078 "note",
  do_fun = 0x481ad4 <do_note>,
  flags = 0,
  position = 6,
  level = 0,
  log = 0,
  userec = {
    num_uses = 3,
    total_time = {
      tv_sec = 0,
      tv_usec = 18000
    },
    min_time = {
      tv_sec = 0,
      tv_usec = 0
    },
    max_time = {
      tv_sec = 0,
      tv_usec = 18000
    }
  },
  lag_count = 0


those numbers are way off.

name = 0x10017078 "note",
do_fun = 0x481ad4 <do_note>,

how do i figure out what to do with those?

__________________________________________
here's also my frame 9


(gdb) f
#9  0x004faccd in interpret (ch=0x10393700, argument=0x22ea25 "send")
    at interp.c:547
547         (*cmd->do_fun) ( ch, argument );

No, that looks OK. The numbers are different, but you are using Cygwin and my test was on Linux.

What I think I would do now is step into the function note_remove, that is what seems to be failing.

In gdb, before the crash (ie. as soon as you start gdb up) put in a breakpoint, ie.

break boards.c:465

Then do the "note remove" again. It should hit the breakpoint. Then "step" along and see what you see. It should go into note_remove and shortly after, it should crash. However you should see why.

Doesn't look like it crashed, does it? Instead of "step" into note_remove you could type "next". That will just process the whole function and return. If it hasn't crashed then you know the problem is not in note_remove.

Then maybe just keep "next"'ing until it crashes. Once you have typed "next" once just hitting <enter> will do it.

i tried putting the alloc that envy had in it. i had a clean compile and everything. here's the code.



#define			MAX_PERM_BLOCK  131072
int			nAllocPerm;
int			sAllocPerm;


void *alloc_perm( int sMem )
{
           void *pMem;
    static char *pMemPerm;
    static int   iMemPerm;

    while ( sMem % sizeof( long ) != 0 )
	sMem++;
    if ( sMem > MAX_PERM_BLOCK )
    {
	bug( "Alloc_perm: %d too large.", sMem );
	exit( 1 );
    }

    if ( !pMemPerm || iMemPerm + sMem > MAX_PERM_BLOCK )
    {
	iMemPerm = 0;
	if ( !( pMemPerm = calloc( 1, MAX_PERM_BLOCK ) ) )
	{
	    perror( "Alloc_perm" );
	    exit( 1 );
	}
    }

    pMem        = pMemPerm + iMemPerm;
    iMemPerm   += sMem;
    nAllocPerm += 1;
    sAllocPerm += sMem;
    return pMem;
}


but it still crashes as well. same next step crash.

with the new alloc_perm, it's taking it alot longer to crash. but in the end it still eventually crashes.

ok, so i don't think it's note remove that's doing the crashing. it's note send. here are the last few lines of code before it crashes.

tha'ts that loop it goes through, and by that end line it crashes. my note remove was working fine, it was only when i note send i think.

______________________________________________________

yet another insight. it only crashes on note remove when i try to remove note 0 when there are more on the note list already. so if i have 4 notes, i try to remove note 0. it crashes. but if i remove the top one first, like remove note 3 then note 2 and so forth it doesn't crash on note remove. but it will still crash sometimes on note send..i don't understand why sometimes it goes through and sometimes it doesn't.
