[Bf-committers] request for win32 debugger

[Stealth Apprentice]

outliner.c, line 443 see below.

str is uninitialized memory because when outliner
calls get_constraint_target, con is type 0, flag is
17, and name is "Const". get_constraint_target does
not recognize type 0, and so str never gets
initialized. Therefore the code crashes.
 
The routine get_constraint_target does not have a
default: case to set the str pointer to 0.

This does not fail on Linux because the behavior of
malloc is different. WHen a linux app starts, the
memory is cleared to zero. On Windows this does not
happen.

You must insert

*subtarget= NULL;

just before get_constraint_target's return NULL
statement at the end of the function at line 386 of
constraint.c.

I hope someone can patch this fix into CVS,

Thanks
