All,

I'm using Eclipse Helios on Slackware 14.0. I'm also using Allegro 4.2. The issue I'm getting is the dreaded Allegro Signal #11. I know it has to do with a new function I've created because I can turn it on and off by commenting the function call out. The only thing i can think of is the called function gets 3 pointers passed to it that originally come from another function. IE

main(){
FunctA(W,X,Y,Z)
}

FunctA(W,X,Y,Z){
Do stuff
FunctB(Z,Y,X)
}

FunctB(Z,Y,X){
do stuff
}

My question is, if FunctA() is receiving the parameters in WXYZ order, Even though FunctB() doesn't use all 4 parameters do the ones that are being passed need to be in the same order?

Thanks
Ace

The answer to your question should be no.

The question you need to ask is, Have you changed the pointers in some way from the start of FunctA to when you call FunctB?

You were right. I rearranged parameters and it didn't matter. And yes I think I was messing the pointers up some how as I had a recursive call and didn't see it for a the longest time. Solution was to take the section I needed from the called function and create a smaller function. Probably not the most Politically Correct way to solve the problem but it worked and is easier to understand / debug.

thanks for the input
