[Info-vax] Possible C compiler static variable initialization problem.

[BillPedersen]

I have posted the description of the problem on the tickets section of VMS-Ports:

     https://sourceforge.net/p/vms-ports/tickets/79/

Basically, I have a pointer to a structure that is statically initialized as a Null and I then pass the address of that pointer to a function but the information seen in the function is not a Null and so the function goes nuts.

This is code which works on Linux...

Any thoughts or suggestions on the solution are welcome.  I could try doing an explicit initialization - I have not yet gone down that path but I will in the morning.  Sort of a pain but.

This is on OpenVMS IA64 V8.4, I do not have the C compiler version off the top of my head so I will need to dig that out in the AM, too.

Thanks,

Bill.
