Hello,
When executing the following code I get this error: Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'b' was corrupted.
Can someone tell me why as it's really annoying and probably just something silly.
char *list[] = {"Simon",
"Nancy",
"Mark",
"Banana"};
int biggest=0;
char b =NULL;
int size =0;
for(int i=0; i < 4; i++) {
int size = strlen(list[i]);
if(size > biggest)
biggest = size;
}
AfxMessageBox(_itoa(bigges
Also, how can I output debug data without using AfxMessageBox everytime?
This is an Visual C++ MFC project.
Cheers
-Simon

int biggest=0;
char* b;
int size =0;
for(int i=0; i < 4; i++) {
int size = strlen(list[i]);
if(size > biggest)
biggest = size;
}
b = new char[2]; //if you have name longer than 99 chars this will not work
AfxMessageBox(_itoa(bigges
delete[] b; //free the allocated memory
This should work :)

Replace
char b =NULL;
with
char b[10];
...
AfxMessageBox(_itoa(bigges
Instead of MessageBox you can use TRACE or OutputDebugString:
CString s;
s.Format("%d\n", biggest);
TRACE(s);
