function stops app from exiting correctly [Resolved]

[sturatt]

This is pretty weird, if i dont call this function, my app closes fine, but when i do, it freezes on exit... i dont get it

Code: Select all

void openPl()
{

    printf("Test\n");
    sceKernelDelayThread(1000000);

    struct SceIoDirent plst;
    int fd = sceIoDopen("./pl/");
    printf("Test2\n");
    sceKernelDelayThread(1000000);

    printf("sceIoDopen worked\n");
    sceKernelDelayThread(1000000);
    char pl_array[50][100];
    int pl_counter = 0;

    int pl_low = 0;
    int pl_high = 12;
    int pl_selected = 0;
    int pl_temp;
    int pl_x = 95, pl_y = 82;

    printf("initialization worked\n");
    if (fd >= 0)
    {

        printf("fd = %i\n", fd);
        sceKernelDelayThread(1000000);
        sceIoDread(fd, &plst);
        printf("%s\n", plst.d_name);
        sceKernelDelayThread(1000000);
    }
    sceIoDclose(fd);
}

commenting out the sceIoDread solves the problem. I'm using sceIoDread and sceIoDopen in other parts of the program... why is it being fussy here?

Try adding
memset(&plst, 0, sizeof plst);

That sometimes helps.

[sturatt]

turns out that memset was all it needed.. any idea why?

Unless you have a particular reason not to, I'd suggest sticking with newlib functions like opendir() readdir() etc. because we've already found and worked around these sort of issues.
