C still broken

C still broken

I ended up debugging and fixing C audio application on Linux today. It's was seg. faulting on start up. The problem was a call to strtok on a stack allocated char *. Go figure. It does remind me how much it sucks to have to debug C code. The tools (gdb) are fine but the disappointment of finding out that it's "just another pointer problem" is heart rendingly boring.

Still, it's nice to know that i can still debug and fix C code.

It wasn't Ardour that i fixed but i wanted to put the link up because it's what i'm learning to use. My major achievement today was managing to work out how to connect inputs to outputs and record something. It's slow going, it had better be worth it...
