DAMAGE: after Normal Block

[cadbilbao]

Hi!

Working with VC++6.0 on NT4.0-SP6a.

I compile this piece of code, without problems:

----//----
char data[3][100];
DOMString value; //XML Type
char *valueT;
...
value = newNode.getNodeValue();
valueT = value.transcode();
...
cout << &quot;NAME =&quot; << valorT << &quot;\n&quot;;
strcpy(data, valueT);
----//----

(NAME = James T.)

But when executing program.exe, a pop-up window
appears:

------------------------------------------------
| DAMAGE: after Normal Block (#59) at 0x00AA1773 |
------------------------------------------------

However, this error depends on the node I am in. It
does not happen in other nodes.

Anybody has experience dealing with this error?
Regards.

That's a message saying that your memory is getting corrupted. Maybe there is no null terminator in the string you're copying, and it's overrunning the data array.

What happened is that you set the last char to be a &quot;\n&quot; and not a &quot;\0&quot; when you read a string most of the time, you look for a &quot;\0&quot; to tell you when to stop, otherwise, you'll step all over your allocated memory.

what does strcpy(data, valueT); mean?
1. you copy a char* into a char**. It is an error.
2. Better is to use strncpy where you specify how many symbols you copy.
