Some basic questions about ldap_get_lderrno:

- Do I have to call ldap_memfree for either *m or *s? Code example 5-6 in the SDK documentation calls ldap_memfree to release the error string after printing it. Do I have to call it for both?

Eek - that's bad. You should not free those pointers. Here is the actual code:
       if ( m != NULL ) {
           *m = ld->ld_matched;
       }
       if ( s != NULL ) {
           *s = ld->ld_error;
       }
       return( ld->ld_errno );

It returns pointers to the internal data structures - you should never call free on these pointers.

Can you point me to the documentation you referred to?
Hi Rich! Yes - code example 5-6:

- Go to chapter 18 (function reference).
- Jump to ldap_get_lderrno().
- Jump to "Getting Information About the Error".
- Scroll down the page to Code Example 5-6. ldap_memfree() is being called on the error message pointer.


I don't see that. I'm looking here - http://www.mozilla.org/directory/csdk-docs/function.htm#get-lderrno

Can you post the URL you are referencing?

Thanks for the summary of intent. That helps me a lot! :)
