Still using the Kreider libs,
and having a problems:
itoa(), while working in several spots in my code, _refuses_ to
work properly in one single spot. At this point in the code, the
wrong ASCII string is generated, and garbage is printed on other
windows. Is this a problem with itoa, or does it have a problem
with programs that run at the very limits of memory? I resorted to
using sprintf(str,"%d",int);.
atol(), only used twice. One spot works, the other does _not_.
The same variable is accessed in both cases, and I have inserted
debugging code to the point that immediately before executed, I know
the value. An example of the problem is that the integer 50, when
assigned via atol to a long, ends up as -129800. Again, what's
going on here? I resorted to using a itoa() and then
sscanf(str,"%D",long) to get the job done.
I don't really have a complaint, since in each situation a
solution was found, but it is very aggrivating to spend hours trying
to track down a problem that isn't supposed to be there, especially
when the code is so long.
