Projects and .lib source file

[LarryMc]

I created a source file to generate a static lib file.

I'm using the lib in an application.

In the application I get a crash after following a certain sequence of steps a certain number of times.

Debug and the .map file are telling me the crash is at a ListCreate command.

My application doesn't use the ListCreate command but my lib uses it numerous times.

Question:
Instead of using $use "mylib.lib" in my application can I just add the mylib.eba to the application project and expect it to work properly?
Is there any 'adjustment' that would have to be made?

Went ahead and tried it and it worked fine.

It worked so good that my crash problem went away which gives me and even bigger problem.

I lied, I still have the problem.

Larry,

There's really no difference between including it in the project or using the $use statement.  The only difference is the order in which the linker processes it.  Which can make a differences if you have two global subroutines with the same name, which of course would be a problem in itself.

Is there any futher information that can be gleaned from this as to the nature of area I need to look at?

Your corrupting memory somewhere.

Heap block at 00302000 modified at 00302108 past requested size of 100

Tells the whole story.  Somewhere in your program you've allocated 100 bytes of memory, and wrote 8 bytes passed it.
