Does the use of StringLoader::LoadLC cause the symbian app to crash on few devices?

[raj8nokiaforum]

Hi,

I had used string literals in my application(on s60 3rd MR) at few places. The app was working just fine without crashes.

Then i moved them to .rls file for localization and loaded them using resource name with StringLoader:LoadLC funtion.

With that change in code, the app started crashing on E71 which was working previously on the same device.

Do you think this API may cause app to crash on specific devices? I have not tested on other devices yet.

Thanks for reading
Raj

A wild guess may be the missing CleanUpStack::Pop() statement required after utilizing StringLoader::LoadLC.

A wild guess may be the missing CleanUpStack::Pop() statement required after utilizing StringLoader::LoadLC.

Actually it depends on whether to use Cleanupstack::Pop() or PopAndDestroy() but i am using it but app is still crashing on device.

Let me give you exact picture of it. Here is where i am using it.

	TBuf<40> itemText;
                _LIT( KListItemFormat,"0\t%S\t");
	HBufC* buf_dialer = StringLoader::LoadLC(R_DIALER);
	TBuf<25> buffer(_L(""));
	itemText.Format( KListItemFormat(), *buf_dialer, &buffer );
                // Appended itemText to a descriptor array
               Cleanupstack::PopAndDestroy(buf_dialer);

Do you see anything wrong here?

Thanks for suggestions.

This is why I do not like suggesting anything until users report an actual panic code. Now 6 days have passed, the issue is not with Cleanup Stack, and the panic code is still unknown.
Otherwise your Format call is a candidate. %S expects the address of a descriptor, so passing buf_dialer (without the *) would be the right way. The other argument is not used by the format string (but the &buffer would be fine for an other %S, since it is the address of a descriptor).

thanks!
you are absolutely correct!!
had figured that out.
