    Access violation reading location

    I can't find anything wrong with my code. When i debug, this occurs.

    Unhandled exception at 0x00fb74b1 in pacman.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xfdfdfdfd.

    Code:
    printf("Lowest F = %d, x:%d, y:%d", lowestf, openX[lowestf], openY[lowestf]);
    	
    ScanAdjacentNodes(openX[lowestf], openX[lowestf]);
    The printf works fine, some integers are printed.

    If i parse values like this there is no problem.
    Code:
    ScanAdjacentNodes(5, 5);
    Code:
    int openX[550];
    int openY[550];
    Code:
    void ScanAdjacentNodes(int x, int y) {
    
    	if(FREE(x+1, y)) {
    		f[index]=hscore(x+1, y);
    		openX[index]=x+1;
    		openY[index]=y;
    		index++;
    	} else {
    		closedX[j] = x+1;
    		closedY[j] = y;
    		j++;
    	}
    	if(FREE(x-1, y)) {
    		f[index]=hscore(x-1, y);
    		openX[index]=x-1;
    		openY[index]=y;
    		index++;
    	} else {
    		closedX[j] = x-1;
    		closedY[j] = y;
    		j++;
    	}
    	if(FREE(x, y+1)) {
    		f[index]=hscore(x, y+1);
    		openX[index]=x;
    		openY[index]=y+1;
    		index++;
    	} else {
    		closedX[j] = x;
    		closedY[j] = y+1;
    		j++;
    	}
    	if(FREE(x, y-1)) {
    		f[index]=hscore(x, y-1);
    		openX[index]=x;
    		openY[index]=y-1;
    		index++;
    	} else {
    		closedX[j] = x;
    		closedY[j] = y-1;
    		j++;
    	}
    
    }

    What's the signature for ScanAdjacentNodes()? And the definition of the variables? You haven't given enough information.

    IIRC, 0xfdfdfdfd means that you're trying to use a freed variable.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.
