Hi,
I don't know if this is simply a problem with my setup, but I'm having
problem with the following test program (culled from a larger program).
The program worked fine under Red Hat 5.0:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<curses.h>
int main()
{
chtype oldchar;
initscr();
oldchar = inch();
return(0);
}
The code compiles and links fine with the c++ compiler (I've tried both
the the old c++ compiler, and egcs. When the program is run however, I am
getting a segmentation fault. The fault is occurring on the oldchar =
inch(); line. If I remove the oldchar =, and just call the inch function,
the program doesn't crash. Also, if I compile this with the c compiler
instead, I don't have any problems (except that I am using c++ features in
the real program ;-) ). It looks to me like the return value of inch is
overwriting something it shouldn't.
Any ideas would be appreciated. If there is a more appropriate list for
this, let me know
Mike Madore
