It would appear that I am encountering an unexpected overflow and I do not understand why this is occurring (much to my dismay):
Windows:
Mac:
These were both compiled using MinGW. I believe that this may be due to the difference in file types between BSD and Windows as I note that if I copy numbers.txt from a Windows OS I recieve a similar fault.
Mac error with windows file:
Mac Shell: Downloads/>$ rm numbers.txt
# Downloaded new numbers.txt file from windows.
Mac Shell: Downloads/>$ ./Project1
Raw output:
-----------
Segmentation fault: 11
Mac Shell: Downloads/>$
Windows with Mac file:
Code:
void do_file_magic(string file){
string line, replace = "", numeral, dump = "", temp;
ifstream source ("numbers.txt");
if (!source.is_open()) {
die_a_clean_death("Unable to open source file:", file);
};
// Display output to console:
sep("Raw output:");
// read source file and output vowels to destination file.
while ( getline(source, line) || true) {
dump = dump + replace;
if ( line[0] != ' ') {
temp = num2string(roman2num(line));
line = remove_whitespace(line);
replace = line + string(17-line.size(), ' ') + temp + "\n";
// If you read this then you noticed that there was some shenagins going on.
} else {
numeral = num2roman(string2num(line));
line = remove_whitespace(line);
replace = numeral + string(17 - numeral.size(), ' ') + line + "\n";
};
if(source.eof()) {
break;
}
};
printf("file dump: \n%s", dump.c_str());
// Close the files
source.close();
// open the file in output mode nuking everything from orbit.
// (Its the only way to be sure)
ofstream destination("numbers.txt");
if (!destination.is_open()) {
die_a_clean_death("Unable to open destination file:", file);
};
// Just dump a variable to the file.
destination << dump << "\n";
destination.close();
};
Could someone help me to understand where I am going wrong here?
