Hi Brad, Do I understand it correctly that you suggest to pass a locally-owned copy of the string into the call to VariableAccessed? If so, then I am not sure how this would solve the problem. The problem is not that def is changed by VariableAccessed, the problem is that the original char* after calling this function sometimes no longer points to a valid location in memory. Or am I missing something here?
