OCI Q

Having found the pre-processor too limiting, I've moved onto the OCI. I'm on a sun 4, running Oracle 6.

Here's some code ...

typedef struct {

  short			v2rc;		/* v2 return code */
  unsigned char		fill1[10];
  unsigned short 	rc;		/* return code */
  unsigned char		fill2[19];
  unsigned char		ose[4];		/* OS dependent error code */
  unsigned char		chk;		/* check byte */
  unsigned char		sysparm[26];	/* private, system parameters */

#define sqlLogon(lda, hda, userId) \

  orlon (lda, hda, userId, -1, (char *) -1, -1, 0)

/* idbConnect

   Connects to the Oracle database. Where should be a string    specifying the connection (user name, password and network info). */

void
idbConnect (char *userId)
{
  static Hdadef hda;

  if (sqlLogon (&lda, hda, userId)) {
    cssNote ("Unable to connect to Oracle (%s).", userId);     return;
  } /* if */

  if (cssDebugMode)
    cssNote ("Connected to ORACLE as: %s", userId);

/* Create a buffer used to hold text atoms. */

  textAtomBuffer = cssBufferCreate (DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);

} /* idbConnect */

... and here's a stack trace:

Any clues or tips here? Did anyone notice how evil Oracle is (trying to put a 32-bit integer on an odd byte boundary in the ldadef? "every byte is sacred ..."
