Why when using a format not valid limit of an array?
Sorry for my English, unnecessarily I live in Russia and use ******;

PHP код:


new SeNT[16];//Global
public OnGameModeInit()
{
format(SeNT,512,"qwertyqwertyqwertyzxcvbbnmqwertyqwertyqwertyzxcvbbnm");
printf("%d",strlen(SeNT));
print(SeNT);
} 


After checking the code, We can see in the console that the value in the format of the size of the array.

I await your replys with respect, Dmitry

What does the console print? 16?

Lol, just checked this.
It prints:

pawn Код:

52
qwertyqwertyqwertyzxcvbbnmqwertyqwertyqwertyzxcvbbnm
Run time error 6: "Invalid  instruction"

Well .. I do not know, I have everything well. no problems found

[Backwardsman97]

Yeah I don't really understand your problem here.

I think your getting an error because there is no main(). Open a new file copy the code for main, paste it in and check again.

Why are you trying to cram 512 characters into a 16 character array?

I have no problem, just wondering why it was the format size of 512 cells with a variable works fine in 16 cells

[JaTochNietDan]

It's because you have specified 512 cells in the format function, so it continues writing to memory even though you don't have any memory allocated, which is a buffer overflow.

Sorry, I disagree with you. Because, in the Pascal format has no arguments to the variable in the. ... Below is an example

PHP код:


var
  text : string;
begin
  // Just 1 data item
  ShowMessage(Format('%s', ['Hello']));
  // A mix of literal text and a data item
  ShowMessage(Format('String = %s', ['Hello']));
  ShowMessage('');
  // Examples of each of the data types
  ShowMessage(Format('Decimal          = %d', [-123]));
  ShowMessage(Format('Exponent         = %e', [12345.678]));
  ShowMessage(Format('Fixed            = %f', [12345.678]));
  ShowMessage(Format('General          = %g', [12345.678]));
  ShowMessage(Format('Number           = %n', [12345.678]));
  ShowMessage(Format('Money            = %m', [12345.678]));
  ShowMessage(Format('Pointer          = %p', [addr(text)]));
  ShowMessage(Format('String           = %s', ['Hello']));
  ShowMessage(Format('Unsigned decimal = %u', [123]));
  ShowMessage(Format('Hexadecimal      = %x', [140]));
end; 


If you think about. then we get a variable is needed to define the format for future use ...

Or am I wrong?

Pascal is not pawn.. so trust JaTochNietDan with what hes saying.

EDIT: After further reviewing your Pascal code, it appears as if Pascal is not looking for a determined length of the string. So Pascal i presume can handle that. Its the same as apstring in C++. But for arrays, in Pawn, you are exceeding the memory of the array, as JaTochNietDan said.
