      29 Dec 18 09:03, you wrote to all:               ml> i've spent the last day hunting down this patch because my golded+ was        ml> crashing with "stack smashing detected"... yeah, i was running my        ml> terminal window at max screen size which is now 271x70... if i drop to        ml> 256x70, i can read but, as noted below, the internal editor craps the        ml> sheets... dropping back to 255x70 allows both to work... i am NOT using        ml> the patch... it didn't seem to do any good either way and i was still        ml> limited in max COLSxROWS... i even added a second zero to make the buf        ml> larger and that didn't help, either... the problem is the same with my        ml> old golded using the code from cvs and this new one using the latest        ml> code from github... it is really starting to look like there's a byte        ml> size counter somewhere that is the real problem... i hate that my C/C++        ml> skills are non-existant these days :(              I wrote the first patch for that back in 2014 but it was never accepted       upstream.              Consequently the current version of GoldED still has that bug.              I never tested >255 char wide screens with the editor, partly because my fix       wasn't accepted upstream, so I forgot about submitting any more patches, but       mainly because I never use terminals that large and I didn't expect anyone       else to.              See the next series of messages for my fixes to the bugs I know about. Be       warned I haven't tested them extensively with very large terminals so you're       likely to encounter more crashes.              --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Blizzard of Ozz, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (3:633/267)    |
