Delete crashes?!

[Wiz]

Alright... I'm having the weirdest problem. Several code snippets are crashing when they use the delete function. I posted about this a bunch of times earlier, though I didn't figure out exactly what was causing it until now.

Examples:

WesQuests.cpp


#ifdef WIN32
delete command; <-- Here
delete temp; <-- Here
#endif



linked_list.h


current_element->SetNext(0);
current_element->SetPrev(0);
if (!DeleteData)
current_element->SetData(0);
delete current_element; <-- Here


The marked lines cause crashes. Oddly enough, the linked_list.h crash only appears occasionaly, while the quest crash appears every time.

I am seriously confused by this, it's making no sense. Can anyone help?

[DeletedUser]

you cant delete something that has already been deleted or does not exist, thats the reasons it would crash

[Trumpcard]

Not a very good linked list if it doesnt account for hitting the end of the list traversal...

[Wiz]

Image - I know. It exists. I even had the program cout some values right before the deleting to make sure it existed.

Last crash time, the entity was a_kobold04 (warrens) and the WesQuests entries were:

SAY: and SAY:Good job! That giant won't cause us any more problems.

[Wiz]

cout<<"Next: "<<current_element->GetNext()<<endl;
cout<<"Prev: "<<current_element->GetPrev()<<endl;
current_element->SetNext(0);
current_element->SetPrev(0);
if (!DeleteData)
current_element->SetData(0);
cout<<"Current: "<<current_element->GetData()<<endl;
delete current_element;
cout<<"Completed delete!"<<endl;

That's the current code.

This is the error report before crash:

So as you can see, it's not caused by missing data. And it's crashing exactly on the delete line.

Oh, and here's the crash code:

2002/09/27 19:37:43 GMT: Zone 7995 crashed. Errorcode: 2/0. Current zone loaded:westwastes. Current clients:0. Caused by:

[Trumpcard]

Is that the last member of the linked list?

I'd write out a quick function to transverse the list till it hit null, and list the L.L. 's contents, then verify where it's bombing at.

[Wiz]

I've already verified where it's bombing. Exactly at the delete line of a random npc... tends to be any god damn npc in the zone really.

[DeletedUser]

is it possible its a corpse or theres something different?

[DeletedUser]

Btw: Recently with 0.3.8 dev code, I have not seen this error occur, and it use to happen quite often for me :P

[Wiz]

Not a corpse. An NPC.

Where is delete defined? Gonna see if updating said file works.
