i have hm.. i dk why i have this error: Plugin encountered error 17: Stack memory leaked by native

for example: i have 2 functions that return char and have two modes for use this:

void TestExample(bool Mode)
{
    char sMyExampleString[127];
     
    // if i use this i have error: Plugin encountered error 17: Stack memory leaked by native.
    sMyExampleString =  Mode == true ? ReturnChar1() : ReturnChar2(); 
     
      
     // if this ALL FINE.
     if (Mode == true)
     {
           sMyExampleString = ReturnChar1(); 
     }
     else
     {
           sMyExampleString = ReturnChar2(); 
     }
}

char ReturnChar1()
{
       char buffer[127];

       buffer = "Mode 1";
   
       return buffer;
}

char ReturnChar2()
{
       char buffer[127];
   
       buffer = "Mode 0";

       return buffer;
}

i try use Format instead what used in example but no difference.

OR may be structure: "var == true ? true : false;" not work with chars correctly (only int, bool, float)?

That wont work, in order to copy strings (char) you need to use strcpy.

Try this:

PHP Code:

void TestExample(bool Mode)
{
    char sMyExampleString[16];   // You dont need 127 to print "Mode x"
      
     // if this ALL FINE.
     if (Mode == true)
     {
           ReturnChar1(sMyExampleString, sizeof sMyExampleString) 
     }
     else
     {
           ReturnChar2(sMyExampleString, sizeof sMyExampleString)
     }
}

int ReturnChar1(char str, int len)
{
       static char buffer[] = "Mode 1";       
   
       return strcopy(str, len, buffer);
}

int ReturnChar2(char str, int len)
{
       static char buffer[] = "Mode 0";       
   
       return strcopy(str, len, buffer);
}

Actually, this is very much possible:

PHP Code:

void TestExample(bool mode)
{
    char str[32];
    
    if(mode)
    {
        str = GetString1();
    }
    else
    {
        str = GetString2();
    }
    
    PrintToChatAll(str);
}

char[] GetString1() // Notice the return type, 'char[]' and not 'char'. This indicates that it should return an array of characters instead of just one.
{
    return "string1";
}

char[] GetString2()
{
    return "string2";
} 


Natives cannot return arrays, but within a plugin it works just fine.

EDIT: If we would've had 'real' strings, we would see a lot more of this, since natives would be able to return them.

We would also be able to do this:

PHP Code:

string str = "part1, " + "part2, ";
PrintToChatAll(str + "part3.");

Sorry if it was answered before, but could somebody explain me why this code works:

PHP Code:

ArrayList array = new ArrayList(1, 1);
array.Set(0, new ArrayList(1, 1));

PrintToServer("%d", GetArrayCell(view_as<ArrayList>(array.Get(0)), 0)); 


While this one doesn't:

PHP Code:

ArrayList array = new ArrayList(1, 1);
array.Set(0, new ArrayList(1, 1));

PrintToServer("%d", (view_as<ArrayList>(array.Get(0))).Get(0)); 


[SM] Native "ArrayList.Get" reported: Invalid Handle 0 (error: 4)

EDIT:

PHP Code:

PrintToServer("%d", (view_as<ArrayList>(array.Get(0))).Length); 


Though this works perfectly fine

Make sure you're using the very latest 1.8 snapshot compiler.

Asherkin, no errors with latest build, thanks.

in documentation error: https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/sd...nd/NormalSHook
this:
typedef NormalSHook = function Action(int clients[64], int &numClients, char sample[], int &entity, int &channel, float &volume, int &level, int &pitch, int &flags)
should be:
typedef NormalSHook = function Action(int clients[64], int &numClients, char[] sample, int &entity, int &channel, float &volume, int &level, int &pitch, int &flags)

[Peace-Maker]

No, the sample is actually of type

char sample[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]

It's missing the constant as well as its value in the display.
I'd guess we can do better, dvander?

It's more complicated than that unfortunately. You'd end up seeing something like "char blah[255]" which is not quite what you want to see. You want "blah[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]". We have a similar problem with default arguments.

The docgen tool is three steps:
(1) Do a full parse/type check of the .inc.
(2) Export .json of where every comment begins and ends in the .inc.
(3) Use the .json and .inc file to populate a MySQL database.

So we could expand on step 2. For example, "char blah[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]" could be recorded as having its type at indices (10, 26] and step 3 would need to just cut that string out of the file instead of pretty-printing.
