abnormal program termination with dynamic data, but not with fixed data

W

walter

hi everyone. I am stumped!

I have code that is part of a simple persistent object manager.
The system takes an object, builds an update statement, and
builds the parameter list.

I keep getting an abnormal program termination. Hoever as you
can see in the modified code segment below, I can run the same query
with the same data that is hand keyed and it works fine.

Below, you can see that the dynamically created arrays and the
hand keyed one are identical, but one always aborts and one works
fine. I am running ruby 1.8 on windows 2000 using the pragmatic
programmers installer.

Does anyone have any ideas?

This one ends in a segmentation fault
## original code ##
def update(obj)
raise SpomDBClosedException.new if closed?
executeCount = 0
dbObject = @spom.getObjectMapping(obj.class)
dbHandle.prepare(dbObject.updateSQL) do |sth|
params = []
dbObject.nonKeyFields.each{|field| params <<
field.toDB(obj)}
dbObject.keyFields.each{|field| params
<<field.toDB(obj)}
executeCount = sth.execute(*params)
end
executeCount
end
## end original code ##



this modified version works. The main difference is that I am
executing the update with a fixed array, not the dynamically computed

array. It also has some code to compare the dynamically computed
array, and the fixed one. It appears that they are identical,
however,
the dynamically created one always ends with :

Which line is line 202?

Actually, what is the entire backtrace? What line in your code is causing
the failure?
