Subject: Segfault using malloc within stubs
Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2005 08:38:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4205C95E.8050404@noos.fr> (raw)

Hello,

I have this strange problem with my stubs, I wrote this function but it 
leads to a segfault:

CAMLprim value foo(value v)
{
    CAMLparam1(v);
    CAML(result);
    char** test;
   
    test=(char**)malloc(4*sizeof(char*));
    CAMLreturn(result);
}

After much tests, it seems that malloc is not allowed when using Caml 
data types or when trying to register data to the ocaml garbage 
collector... But I don't understand why as C heap and OCaml heap are 
distinct :-/

Thanks,

Julius
