When I try to run mysql_real_connect my program crashes. If anyone could help me understand why I would be eternally grateful. I've tried looking at all the documentation regarding this situation and tried many different things, but I am still stumped with the same crash. I've tried this on current builds of redhat linux and freebsd.
This is my code, with a backtrace at the end: { MYSQL mysql; mysql_init( &mysql ); mysql_real_connect( &mysql, "localhost", "user", "pass", "db", 0, NULL, 0 ); mysql_close( &mysql ); } (gdb) bt #0 0x40072d41 in __kill () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x400729b6 in raise (sig=6) at ../sysdeps/posix/raise.c:27 #2 0x400740d8 in abort () at ../sysdeps/generic/abort.c:88 #3 0x809e820 in sig_handler (sig=11) at comm.c:3936 #4 0x40072c68 in __restore () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sigaction.c:127 #5 0x812bbab in net_write_buff () #6 0x812bac4 in my_net_write () #7 0x812965e in mysql_real_connect () #8 0x80908f6 in do_save_object (ch=0x83cd6c8, argument=0xbffff813 "") at build.c:9074 #9 0x80c7dd6 in interpret (ch=0x83cd6c8, argument=0xbffff813 "") at interp.c:740 #10 0x80985e1 in game_loop () at comm.c:620 #11 0x8097f90 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffcf4) at comm.c:273 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
