Hmm on Solaris as well. That's interesting, thanks. I have to deploy within the next week which will be my first 7.x production code on Solaris, so thanks for the heads up.

I had to work around it. I don't know HOW. malloc is bound at link time either dynamically or statically. The compiler should have nothing to say to. PLUS, I got the same behaviour on Sun Solaris. Different platform (instruction set), different compiler, linker, etc. Cheers Ben _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Danny Kellett Sent: March 20, 2009 11:56 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Anyone using the Remedy C-API on windows? ** It is possible Ben, he is an extract from an email from one of the BMC engineers I used to speak to while working for BMC. He is the one who maintains the .net api I believe. If it is 7.0 are above, then on *Windows* you should use VS.NET 2003. This is mainly because the fact that we had built Plug-in Server itself with this version and we have encountered a bunch of issues when a process used different versions of C run-time library (for example, that accompanied MS Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio .NET 2003). So to avoid such problems we encourage a plug-in writer also to match the same version as that of Plug-in Server.

Don't know how it is possible to have these malloc/free problems as they are also across platforms. I also develop on Sun Solaris, Intel Linux etc - but they are easy to get around. Am considering changing the VCC stuff for gcc on Windows as well. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Meta-Update is an API scripting facility. With Meta-Update you write simple scripts in a few lines that would take you days and weeks of API programming. Results are immediate. As an example, because of bugs and restrictions with the Workflow Execution rules or Reconciliation, we use a Meta-Update script to determine if CIs across datasets are "equal" in a set of configured fields. It took an hour to add a (useful) message and a CSV to delineate the differences.

If you are using AR Version > 7 then use VS2003. If you use lower then you will have malloc and free issues. I have used other 3rd party stuff but thats only when I need to support linux etc. Then I use kdevelop. My advice, get hold of vmware, install MSSQL 2003 and get a copy of the AR server 7+ and you will find examples within the server package if you choose to install the api. Also there are some examples on the wiki that is maintained. Cant remember the url but put ars and wiki in google.

People, Are you currently writing any C programs on windows which make C-API calls to Remedy? If yes, how do you describe your development environment? My eventual goal is to use Ruby scripts to connect to Remedy. I see this as a 3 step process: - Learn how to write C programs on windows - Learn how to link my windows-C-programs with the Remedy C-API - Learn how to link my windows-C-programs with the Ruby C-API Currently, though, I want to focus on learning about making C-API calls on windows. Are you currently writing any C programs on windows which make C-API calls to Remedy? If yes, how do you describe your development environment? Are you using Microsoft Visual Studio? Are you using any opensource or 3rd party development tools? I did a search of ARSLIST@ARSLIST.ORG and found some useful information about obtaining windows dll files: - http://listserv.rbugs.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?S1=arslist Thanks, --Dan ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3949 (20090319) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
