Re: [Firebird-devel] UDF string problem

Hi Geoff,

and all others that gave me a helping hand.

I've changed the malloc as you advised to
ib_util_malloc

so that line is now:
char *buffer=(char*)ib_util_malloc(256);

To be an the save side I've taken the ib_util.dll from the server and 
used implib to import the right entrypoints. Recompiled the dll and 
moved it into the udf-folder on the servermachine. If I now do a request 
  I get the error first time I try and the fb-server stops the exception 
now says 'unknown software exception' :o(
I've also tried a download of binary ib_util_bor.lib - neither this works.
Any idea? Thanx to all.

Dieter
