21.5.28 sound error (SEGV)

Dave Bailey writes: What does gdb say is the value of "print *sz" here? Ouch. Here's what linuxplay.c says is in the first few lines of that function: static int linux_play_data_or_file(int fd, Binbyte *data, int length, int volume) { size_t (*parsesndfile)(void **dayta,size_t *sz,void **outbuf); size_t (*sndcnv)(void **dayta,size_t *sz,void **); fmtType ffmt; int fmt,speed,tracks; void *pptr, *optr, *cptr, *sptr; int wrtn, crtn; size_t prtn, rrtn; Binbyte sndbuf[SNDBUFSZ]; /* We need to read at least the header information before we can start doing anything */ if (!data || length < HEADERSZ) { if (fd < 0) return 0; That is, it should exit immediately, with the failure value (HEADERSZ is defined to be 256 in miscplay.h). Try setting a breakpoint at linux_play_data_or_file, and single stepping through that line to see how XEmacs manages not to return failure here. There's also a problem that apparently TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT in Fplay_sound returns zero for the length of that string which is obviously not zero-length. Please at least supply us with the full Installation file for XEmacs (or XEmacs can tell you with M-x describe-installation RET) and a copy of the sound being played, or if it's a standard one the name which you should be able to get here: with (gdb) source .gdbinit # find this in the src/ subdirectory (gdb) pobj sound which presumably is a Lisp symbol or possibly a string. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
