Hello Leonard,
Here is a simple prog to demonstrate the problem - it shows
two things:
1) If you print more than COLS characters via addch - those
characters appear on the next line.
2) move with negative argument (as used in the old code)
fails with -1 on ncurses.
It takes two arguments - how many columns (charcters to print) and
the char to use to fill the columns i.e.:
./addch 90 a
should print the character 'a' 90 times - going to the next line
on 80 columns display.
gcc -o addch addch.c -lncurses
-------------- next part --------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <ncurses.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int i, cols;
int move_ret;
if (argc < 3)
{
printf ("%s <cols> <fillchar>\n", argv[0]);
exit (1);
}
cols = atoi (argv[1]);
initscr ();
move_ret = move (0, -1);
move (0,0);
for (i = 0; i < cols; i++)
{
addch (*argv[2]);
}
refresh ();
sleep (10);
endwin ();
printf ("move(0, -1) = %d", move_ret);
exit (0);
}
