Yep. I didn’t test it because I figured it wasn’t particularly useful in that context. I’ll add some tests for that too once I get to the root of the problem.

Okay. That’s pretty bad, isn’t it.

It’s crashing when it’s checking that the returned tuple matches the declared return type in rsinfo->setDesc. Seems rsinfo->setDesc gets overwritten. So I think I have a memory management problem.

To be honest, I wasn’t fully sure I’d got a clear understanding of what is in what memory context, but things seemed to work so I figured it was close. Seems I was wrong. I need a bit of time to review. Leave it with me, but I guess it’ll take to next weekend before I get more time.

denty.
