Okko Willeboordse pointed out an incompatibility between the native
MS-Windows API and the ANSI/ISO C library function mkdir
, which is
used by the WFDB library. This does not present a problem when
compiling the WFDB library using the supported Cygwin/gcc compiler
under MS-Windows, nor does any related problem occur on any other
platform. It should now be a little easier to compile the WFDB library
using unsupported compilers, thanks to a new MKDIR
macro that hides
the incompatibility (see `lib/wfdblib.h0').
Piotr Wlodarek initiated a discussion about memory leaks in the WFDB
library, citing as an example the 'trivial example program in C' from
this Guide, which does not free memory it allocates in isigopen()
when reading the signal specifications. This problem can be avoided by
invoking wfdbquit()
in the example program, just before exiting.
Further discussion of this point has been added to this Guide following
the presentation of the 'trivial example', and in the description of
wfdbquit
.
