[SOLVED] ncurses-6.0-x86_64-3 on current having bug

linuxxer --

GazL has shown you the issue.

And this is still incorrect:

buff[1024]= '\0'

Maybe refer to K&R ( online first edition ) -- Section 1.9, page 25 ?

This is as old as it gets but arrays of char haven't changed in all these years

HTH.

EDIT: I see this was marked [SOLVED] while I looked for the K&R Link ...

Well, it may be correct if one wanted to right pad each line with spaces to fill the entire buffer and then terminate it, but it's probably not what the OP was intending.

Anyway, I've given up trying to second guess his intentions at this point. I was sure he was trying to replace the \n earlier because it was the only thing that made sense to me and I kind of got tunnel vision on that, but it seems that he was intentionally if mistakenly removing the string terminator, which obviously isn't going to end well.

Oh well, at least we needn't worry about bugs in ncurses.

@kjhambrick
Thank you for the link.

@GazL
Thanks for your suggestions.

You're welcome.

Keep at it. You'll get there.
