I get a segv when I run the example. Running in dbx with access
checking enabled shows:
Write to unallocated (wua):
Attempting to write 1 byte at address 0x8091d88
which is just past heap block of size 800 bytes at 0x8091a68
This block was allocated from:
newHeapObject<-NewLink<-Add_nd<-Add<-main
Location of error: heap.c, line 75, newHeapObject()
The offending code appears to be here in heap.c:
/* The array of block pointers is full. Allocate CHUNK_SIZE blocks
more */
siz = (l->BlockCount+CHUNK_SIZE)*sizeof(ListElement *);
result = l->Allocator->realloc(l->Heap,siz);
if (result == NULL) {
return NULL;
}
l->MemoryUsed+= siz;
l->Heap = (char **)result;
/* Position pointer at the start of the new area */
result += l->BlockCount*sizeof(ListElement *);
/* Zero the new pointers */
memset(result,0,siz);
It looks like you are allocating siz byes, incrementing part (half) way
through the bock then zeroing the next siz bytes.
