object = pfdLoadFile( "florida.3ds" );
dcs.addChild( object );
pfFrame();
dcs.removeChild( object );
pfDelete( object);
I have a simple scene graph that only has a single dcs to which I take turns
attaching different objects (object is a pfNode*). As you can see from the
code unit, I read in the object, attach it to the dcs, draw it, detach it and
delete it. This code unit is repeated 4 times in a row.
Here's the odd behavior: If those 4 units use the files florida.3ds,
florida.3ds, florida.3ds and arch.3ds respectively, the program crashes in the
4th call to pfdLoadFile with a segmentation violation (way down in some string
compare). If the order is florida, arch, florida, arch it works correctly. If
it's arch, arch, arch, florida it crashes on the 4th pfdLoadFile.
Here's the call stack at the crash:
strcmp()["strcmp.s":31]
GetContextByName3ds(<stripped>)["3dsfile.c":234]
OpenFile3ds(<stripped>)["pf3ds.c":98]
pfdLoadFile(<stripped>)["pfdLoadFile.c":768]
main()()["ptest_lin.C":66] (my main program)
I've tried a number of combinations and it's as if there's something about
starting off with 3 loads in a row of the same file that screws up the 4th
load.
My hope is that there's something I'm forgetting to do in the "cleanup" that
removes and deletes the object. Or maybe there's something I need to do for
using the 3ds loader that I'm not aware of.
Any help would be appreciated.
