#1781 closed defect (fixed)

SCUMM: Inalid read/writes in Gdi::drawStripToScreen

Reported by: Kirben Owned by: eriktorbjorn
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Day of the Tentacle

Description

Latest ScummVM cvs version. English version of Day of the Tentacle CD. Compiled under mingw with GCC 3.4.1 and running under Windows XP.

I noticed ScummVM seemed more unstable today, so tried running under Valgrind and noticed several invalid read/writes in Gdi::drawStripToScreen(). I have attached valgrind log from Day of the Tentacle but this issue could effect all SCUMM games.

Valgrind log

May be related to the smooth scrolling hack.

I noticed that The Dig and Full Throttle are extremely unstable, they won't start 3 times out of 5 or would crash unexpectedly during a dialogue, a room change, whatever. I also noticed the parallax scrolling in The Dig (the Museum for example) produces a kind of 'mask smearing' in the background which I can't quite describe, even with a screenshot. I only have a savestate for the French Mac version, probably not very useful.

The sad thing is, I don't even get any error message at all :-(

yeah, of course it's from the smooth scrolling hack. Nothing to worry about, I just disabled it again -- an email telling me about the issues would've been sufficient, really :-)

I'm still noticing some invalid read/writes, even with smooth scrolling disabled. Attached Valgrind log from COMI this time.

I ran into the same problem yesterday night. Seems the real culprit was the bit where it checks it limits 'width' to vs->width or less. I've changed it to vs->w - x or less instead. It seems to work now.
