Here I have a function that sends a request to a server to delete a file. But, it always crashes on a certain line when compiled in debug mode and runs fine when compiled in release mode. Is this a compiler error? Here's my code:
It always crashes between the 2 last messageboxes, right after I click ok on the "Going to delete fNameBuf". The crash thing that pops up says:Code:void deleteFile(HWND hWnd)
{
//Get a handle to the listbox control
HWND lb = GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_REMOTEFILES); //lb = listbox
//Get the index of the listbox item
int index = SendMessage(lb, LB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0);
//Get the length of the item and allocate a string for it
int len = SendMessage(lb, LB_GETTEXTLEN, index, 0);
char* fNameBuf = new char[len];
unsigned char nameLen = SendMessage(lb, LB_GETTEXT, index, (LPARAM)fNameBuf);
unsigned long msgLen = 1;
msgLen += sizeof(nameLen);
msgLen += nameLen;
server->send(htonl(msgLen));
server->send(ICV_OP_DELETE);
server->send(nameLen);
server->send(fNameBuf);
unsigned char result;
server->receive((char*)&result, 1);
if(result == ICV_SR_ERR)
MessageBox(hWnd, "File could not be deleted.", "Error", MB_OK);
else if(result == ICV_SR_OK)
MessageBox(hWnd, "File successfully deleted.", "Success", MB_OK);
else
MessageBox(hWnd, "Unknown protocol error.", "Error", MB_OK);
MessageBox(hWnd, "Going to delete fNameBuf", "c", MB_OK);
delete[] fNameBuf;
MessageBox(hWnd, "fNameBuf deleted", "k", MB_OK);
}
Should I look to my code or my compiler for the problem? I really can't see anything wrong with the code, but I thought I'd ask just in case, since it's just about always my fault anyways :rolleyes:Quote:

**EDIT**
Wasn't sure if this belonged on the c++, networking, or Windows board, but since the code involves Windows API I thought I'd put it under Windows... hope the mods don't mind.
