Hey Guys

Has anyone got any ideas why calling a function in another object file would cause my kernel to crash and through up "running in bogus memory".

I have linked the kernel at 3Gb and all the object files that i call functions in are linked together.

Hey Guys

It seems to be working fine on the call of the function but as soon as the function tries to return it throws up the error.

to me it sounds like a stack problem since the function is executed.................but thats just me..the slacker

Hmm, I have probably asked this before but i will ask it agin does C automatically set up its own stack or do i need to make sure a stack has been set up for the C Kernel before i call it?

Peter

im pretty sure that C code uses the preexsiting stack. actually it has to--

Cheers

I managed to fix that now, it was the stack causing problems.

i called it....

Go slacker - your getting to be a regular expert. Watch out for this one Pype & Tim.

He's a slack guy, our slacker.

pskyboy, take care that your stack is mapped too Then: No problems.

Have you loaded enough sectors so that your entire kernel is loaded ?
If you're kernel isn't fully loaded you will get an error "running in bogus memory", but this error can also occur in other situations.

that's also a problem, pini. I used to load the amount of sectors, dd wrot onto disk.
