Hi,
I am trying to use realloc() to manipulate strings. I get the following PD error when I try to make a string about 64 chars long.
*** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0830df68 ***
Does it mean that PD only allows me to use that much memory, according to the size of my struct or a little more ? I hope not.
Thanks, aalex

No, it means that you confused your args and so you're passing a pointer as the size argument! I say that because 0x0830df68 looks like a heap address, that is, the result of a malloc().

Almost. That was the space allocated that wasnt big enough.
Now, is there a C library I could use for turning lists into strings, arrays of strings into lists, etc. ? I m currently reinventing the wheel, I'm afraid. All kinds of functions making easier the interface with PD should be added to m_pd.h, or in an other similar header. For now, I just want pure C, but maybe C++ would be a better option ?
