• Errors tryign to reply to a poll message

    From Nightfox@VERT/DIGDIST to Digital Man on Wed Nov 1 13:01:04 2017
    Hi DM,ããWith my JavaScript message reader, I've noticed I'm getting a weird error whenãI try to reply to a poll message. My reader allows voting, but I wanted toãalso reply to the poster of a poll message with some comments. My script callsãbbs.post_msg() to post the reply, and I pass it the sub-board code, reply mode,ãand message header. On that line, I get the following error:ããError: can't convert 2147483648 to an integerããJust before that line, I tried having my script output the sub-board code,ãreply mode, and message header properties. The number that it was outputtingãappears to be the auxattr property of the message header. But when my scriptãoutputs that information, it generates a different error when it callsãbbs.post_msg():ãError: line 865 js_ParseMsgHeaderObject js_msgbase.c JS_GetPrivate failed ããSo it seems something odd is going on if it gets a different error just byãoutputting some information before calling that function. The sub-board codeãlooks right, and the reply mode value it's using is 64. I'm not sure whatãmight be wrong. My reader doesn't have a problem replying to normal messages;ãthis is only happening when replying to a poll message.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Thanks for the report. There are likely many other places in theãSync JS object where dealing with integers >= 0x80000000 would cause thatãerror. It is strange you got a different error under different conditions, butãthe "auxattr" hint was what I needed to track this one done.

You don't need to copy anyãSynchronet DLL other than sbbsexec.dll to the Windows/System32 directory. Youãshould delete that one just to avoid future problems.ããAnyway... as for the problem at hand: please try a a "release" build of theãDLLs and see if you get the same error.
