Help UFies! (c++ woes) by tzulah 2004-07-14 13:33:11
I'm pulling my hair out. I'm SO frustrated over this.

I have a function that takes as a parameter void * buffer. The function performs its magic and is supposed to fill that buffer with a result.

My code looks something like this:

void *buffer;

ABunchOfData->PerformMagic(buffer);

It raises an exception, saying there was an access violation. Note that PerformMagic is a function that is part of a common package, and not my own code. Now the really frustrating part is that this code was working about 3 hours ago, and to the best of my knowledge, I didn't change anything. Gaaahhh! Where am I going wrong?
