FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.hxx stores property pointers in SGPropertyNode*. This doesn't guarantee that the nodes remain valid. Some other module could theoretically remove one -- any Nasal scripting code could! --, after which JSBSim would probably crash. The preferred way to store node pointers is as SGPropertyNode_ptr. Those make sure that the node remains valid until the last instance is deleted. It doesn't seem to be a real problem here -- at least I couldn't make fgfs crash by removing such nodes. Should still get changed, though, unless I'm missing something. :-) m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
