I''ve been trying to figure this out for a while, and have gotten nowhere. When I run this code:

  
char *t = NULL;
char q[10];

ZeroMemory(q, sizeof(q));

int dwSize = 1;
strcpy(q, "THISATEST!");
t = (char*)malloc(10);
if(t == NULL)
	MsgBox(g_hwnd, "err");
ZeroMemory(t, sizeof(t));
strcpy(t, q);
SendMessage(ChatBox, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)t);
// This puts the text into the edit control on my window

MsgBox(g_hwnd, "see?");
// MsgBox is a macro I made that calls MessageBox with MB_OK cause I''m lazy

free(t);
  

it gives me an error about an assertion and a Normal Block on the call to free. A picture of the error is here: Thanks in advance! My Geekcode: "GCS d s: a14 C++$ P+(++) L+ E-- W+++$ K- w++(+++) O---- M-- Y-- PGP- t X R- tv+ b++ DI+(+++) D- G e* h!" Decode my geekcode! Geekcode.com

First off, THISISATEST! is 11 bytes (including the NULL terminator)

sizeof(t) will probably return 4 - the size of a pointer, not the size of the memory allocated.

If the allocation is NULL, the code continues anyway, it should skip the rest

Ah, I see. I''m mallocing 10 when I should be mallocing 11. Thanks.
