aGetfiles bug

[byte-one]

I will using aGetfiles(). Now i see, that a selection over 15 files not possible. Over 15 files is a error "Abnormal program termination" or the program freezes!

[nageswaragunupudi]

Yes
That is the present limitation.

Thanks! Any solution in the future?

Günther,

In FWH getfile.c source code there is a:

#define SIZE_IN_BYTES 15384

Please try to increase its size and test it again, thanks

Antonio, the problem is not the number (15 is enough) of selectable files, it is the crash from the app!!!

[Antonio Linares]

Surely because it runs out of memory, thus try to increase that number...

[byte-one]

Antonio, i have enough of memory. See so select in windows files to delete! We can select thousands of files...

[Antonio Linares]

Günther,

Please provide the instructions or a GIF showing how to reproduce the crash, thanks

[byte-one]

Antonio, not in all cases a insert (Abnormal program termination) is shown, in some cases the program is ending without any report! I cannot reproduce the situation. < 15 files it seems to functioning.

This is in hb_out.log

Edit the file getfile.c at line 365 and 366. Change the values.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  //pFile = fw_parWideLen( 8, 512 );
  //pFilter = fw_parWideLen( 1, 800 );
  pFile = fw_parWideLen( 8, 4096 );
  pFilter = fw_parWideLen( 1, 2400 );

Thank you, Giovany! But i have the problem at aGetfiles() for selecting more files than one!
I think, the error comes from this lines in getfile.c (line 141...). There are not enough memory reserved for the files selected.
Antonio, please look.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  pFile = ( LPSTR ) hb_xgrab( ( dwFlags & OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT ) ? SIZE_IN_BYTES : 256 );     //too small for many files??

   if ( hb_pcount() > 7 && HB_ISCHAR( 8 ) )      //this is size from inifile, for what??
   {
      wLen = min( ( unsigned long ) 255, hb_parclen( 8 ) );
      memcpy( pFile, ( char * ) hb_parc( 8 ), wLen );
   }
   else
   {
      wLen = min( ( unsigned long ) 255, hb_parclen( 1 ) );           //this is size from mask, for what??
      memcpy( pFile, ( char * ) hb_parc( 1 ), wLen );
   }
   * ( pFile + wLen ) = 0;

Oh, sorry, i found in this moment, that the function is same as cgetfile()! I will try!

[byte-one]

Can not compiling as i cannot find the c-function fw_wcslen()!?

[Antonio Linares]

I am checking it but it keeps GPFing for a very large amount of files

[nageswaragunupudi]

Only solution is to increase SIZE_IN_BYTES.

The limit is not the number of files. Size of text holding folder and file names.

This buffer should accommodate the directory names and file names selected.
There is always a finite limit.

No other changes are required
