me again,
...since getting through the last font loading problem I was having,
I had moved on to sound file loading, but unfortunately I'm getting
some weird malloc problems at different points in the font loading
code! I looked at the unix.cpp file (which contains the vm_malloc
calls that seem to cause the problem), and discovered a define
WANT_DEBUG, which seems to open up new code for debugging the kind of
problems I'm seeing...
So, my question is, what does this really tell me? How do I
interpret the output (ie. if, at the point of the crash, it says:
MALLOC:
/Users/tigital/Desktop/programming/freespace2/src/graphics/font.cpp:834
1744 bytes

24912 bytes
...does this mean that the problem is the last printed malloc, or the
next one that would be printed?
sorry for being such a newbie, but at least I'm learning a bunch of stuff!
l8r,
