Re: [MiNT] Make/MiNTLib problem

Hello,

I know, I answer at old message but I think that it's important to clarify
the situation.

I have exactly the same problem.

It occurs randomly, maybe 1 time each 50 uses, but the bug exists with the
current gcc/make when I compile a code with many malloc/free calls.

I didn't put any matters about it because it doesn't occur very often but
now, it's more important for me.

I explain:

I code a software ( which makes 'A LOT' of malloc/free calls) with the help
of the current mintlib and when I use it, I have sometime suddenly a exit
message like "Assertion `s == r' failed"

It occurs "close to never" on MiNT 1.16 but very often on MagiC.. But I want
to make an application compatible with the 2 main Atari's OS.

I tried to recompile this code with the current mintlib CVS without
'assert(s == r);' line in the _free() function and... It works like a charm
on MiNT and MagiC and I don't see any error or other memory leak!

Of course, it's a temporary solution because if the 'assert' macro test
gives a warning it's because the code is wrong somewhere.

For information, I get this error after many 'free()' call in the
application side ( maybe 40 or 50).


So, a idea?


PS: When Adam Klobukowski has posted this message, Frank Naumann asks him if
he hasn't problems with his memory.. For my part, I'm sure, I don't have any
memory problems because it's append both on my CT60 + MiNT, MagiCMac and
Aranym + MiNT.


Regards.
