CVI Error: Over Array Bounds

[LuisG]

Hurst,

I'm sorry that I'm going to have to disagree with you, but there is no inconsistency between reporting this error in debug mode, and not in release mode. This is because there are no pointer sanity checks performed in release mode (for performance reasons). And it is precisely these user protection checks that are being thrown off when you pass the pointer to a 2-byte integer.

In one of the other threads for this issue, some of us had already posted a way in which you can make the function call without throwing off the user protection. Here it is:

               LogEnetData (fp, Message.MsgSize, (unsigned char *)&Message + sizeof (Message.MsgSize));

If you pass the pointer this way, you don't have to worry about disabling user protection around this code.

Hope this helps

Luis

This problem gets more insidious because we have discovered that NI has made changes to the code without informing the user that cause the code to fail. When this code is run n release mode, the failures disappear. It took us 120 manhours to find this isidious NI bug.
