I am currently working on a package that was developed and
tested under C version 6.0 .. it is a main program linked to
a few libraries. The package compiled correctly at some time
in the past with C6.0, but now, under C7.0 is giving the
error "null pointer assignment" when it finishes executing
(and it does execute correctly) . I have recompiled everything
with the debug option, and used 'CodeView' to step through it,
which shows that after the last "}" in my main() program, it
goes off to execute some machine langiage instructions, a
call to some routine or other, and it is THIS call which gives
me the "null pointer assignement" error.
I really need some help on this one, as I've no idea where
these extra instructions have come from, or what they are
for.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can overcome the
problem.
If so , please don't reply to this message directly, but
forward a reply to "c8930417@cs.newcastle.edu.au" .
Thanks.
