GP32 GPSDK+libC not work

[chui]

Hi all!

My linux compiler: GP32 Cross Toolchain for debian users.
Not work (gp32 exception!) GPSDK+libC. Probe this gpmain.c with
gpstart.c:
---------
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

void GpMain(void *arg)
{
int i;
void *mem;
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
mem=malloc(1024*64);
while(1);
}
---------
Anybody works it? Any idea?

Ciao!

I use the same debian toolchain and it appears to work for me.

I have had loads of problems with malloc in the past though. Try using gp_mem_func.malloc instead.

No runtime crash????
Please send me your project (tar.bz2): lnkscript, gpstart.c, user_init.o/s/c, crt0.s and Makefile.

Hmmm, looks like I was wrong before. Now I run it again I do get the crash (I was very low on batteries earlier, maybe it needs less power to work :huh

Changing to gp_mem_func.malloc (or gm_malloc) does fix the problem though. You could either change all mallocs, or try and redefine malloc in some way (which I think is what you'll probably want to do 'cos I guess you're trying to get SDL apps porting easily)

Not so easy. ie:stdio functions (fopen, fread...) not compatible with gp-stdio.

Port ALL libSDL with GPSDK functions is a lot of work time.

The toolchain is compiled for debian unstable so it wont work unless u got that.
