So e.g. for a debug entry with a format string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long)) byte data area in the debug_register() function. +IMPORTANT: Using "%s" in sprintf event functions is dangerous. You can only +use "%s" in the sprintf event functions, if the memory for the passed string is +available as long as the debug feature exists. The reason behind this is that +due to performance considerations only a pointer to the string is stored in +the debug feature. If you log a string that is freed afterwards, you will get +an OOPS when inspecting the debug feature, because then the debug feature will +access the already freed memory. NOTE: If using the sprintf view do NOT use other event/exception functions than the sprintf-event and -exception functions. |
