Dear all, As a new Babel-user first of all I'd like to thank you for this great software !!
My question: what is the correct way (in c++) to generate an OBMol object from a smiles-code ? I know how to convert smiles e.g. to inchi directly using a conv->convert(), but I dont see yet how I can get access to the obMol object ? My below code seems to work but leads to a valgrind error. Related to this question: is there an API-description where I could have found the answer to this and similar questions ? regards, Rafel #include <iostream> #include <openbabel/obconversion.h> #include <openbabel/mol.h> int main() { OpenBabel::OBMol *obMol = new OpenBabel::OBMol(); // conversion from smiles into inchi-key OpenBabel::OBConversion conv(NULL,&std::cout); conv.SetInAndOutFormats("SMI","inchi"); conv.AddOption("K",OpenBabel::OBConversion::OUTOPTIONS); // following statement raises valgrind error 'conditional jump ..' conv.ReadString(obMol, "C"); // just a test to see that obMol is assigned conv.Write(obMol); delete obMol; } valgrind error: ==13841== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==13841== at 0x5D154E0: inflateReset2 (in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1.2.3.4) ==13841== by 0x5D155D8: inflateInit2_ (in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1.2.3.4) ==13841== by 0x4F3CEFC: ???
