#3352 closed defect

FT: Crash on game load (regression)

Reported by: spookypeanut Owned by: aquadran
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Full Throttle

Description

On trying to run Full Throttle with a current (30 July) SVN, it crashes very close to the beginning. The exact point of the crash seems (to me) capricious, but it's always very near the start. The intro can be skipped and the game will crash as soon as any action is taken, if not before. The terminal gives the following error message:

Trying to start game 'Full Throttle' WARNING: Language file is forced to be ignored! terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc Aborted (core dumped)

Tried with both vorbis & uncompressed audio, same result. The same does not seem to happen with The Dig & COMI (which my untrained mind thinks would be most likely to be affected by the same problems as FT), though I've not delved very far.

I committed a (supposed) fix. It works for me and shouldn't break anything. But since I don't really know the code, someone should check it...

Was this a regression? Did you discuss this change with e.g. aquadran?

In general, I'd say: Either be sure your fix is right, commit it, and close the bug report. Or, if you are unsure, attach a patch to the report and assign the whole thing to a person which is more of an "expert" for the code in question... :)

I just searched for your change (<http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/scummvm/?rev=28338&view=rev>), and without looking at the surrounding code, I can't really judge whether it's correct or not. But maybe aquadran can confirm that it's correct?
