Returns true, returns false? magic
I have a problem in my C ++ program to extract audio from VoIP packets.
This works well on Linux and OpenBSD on amd64 and x86, but when I run the program on OpenBSD on ARM it really does magical things.
I call return true on LoadConfigFile and on ProcessConfiguration the result is false.
Can anyone help me? Maybe I'm just blind. I did a lot of test prints in the code.
This is the main function of the program that calls the ProcessConfiguration function.
int main ( int argc, char **argv ) {
if ( ! config.ProcessConfiguration( argc, argv ) ) {
std::cout << "process configuration failed" << std::endl;
std::cout << "exiting whole program with EXIT_FAILURE" << std::endl;
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
std::cout << "process configuration is true" << std::endl;
// User want to only print configuration
if ( config.m_printconfig == true ) {
config.PrintConfig();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
.
. // Long uninteresting code
.
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
This is the ProcessConfoguration function that calls LoadConfigFile.
bool TConfig::ProcessConfiguration ( int & argc, char ** & argv ) {
// Scan options from command line
int c;
while (( c = getopt ( argc, argv, "c:dhn" )) != EOF ) {
switch (c) {
case 'c':
m_configfile = optarg;
break;
case 'd':
m_daemon = false;
break;
case 'h':
m_printusage = true;
return true;
case 'n':
m_printconfig = true;
break;
default:
return false;
}
}
argc -= optind;
argv += optind;
if ( LoadConfigFile() == false ) {
std::cout << "LoadConfigFile was false" << std::endl;
return false;
}
std::cout << "LoadConfigFile was true" << std::endl;
return true;
}
And this function loads the configuration file, parses all directives.
bool TConfig::LoadConfigFile ( void ) {
std::string line;
std::string directive;
std::ifstream data;
if ( m_configfile.empty() ) {
m_configfile = DEFAULT_CONFIGFILE;
}
std::cout << "opening file " << m_configfile << std::endl;
data.open( m_configfile.c_str() );
if ( ! data.is_open() ) {
std::cerr << "Couldn't open config " << m_configfile << std::endl;
return false;
}
std::cout << "configfile is open" << std::endl;
std::cout << "before getline" << std::endl;
while ( getline( data, line ) ) {
std::cout << "after getline" << std::endl;
trim_whitespaces( line );
.
. // Long uninteresting code
.
}
std::cout << "before data.close" << std::endl;
data.close();
std::cout << "before return true in LoadConfigFile" << std::endl;
return true;
}
And this is outputted to the terminal.
$ ./call-extract -c call-extract.conf -d -n
opening file call-extract.conf
configfile is open
before getline
before data.close
before return true in LoadConfigFile
LoadConfigFile was false
process configuration failed
exiting whole program with EXIT_FAILURE
$ echo $?
1

I call return true on LoadConfigFile and on ProcessConfiguration the result is false.

The return value is true.
Output for me:
before return true in LoadConfigFile
LoadConfigFile was true
Code without uninteresting parts:
struct TConfig
{
bool ProcessConfiguration()
{
bool rv = true;
if( !LoadConfigFile() ) { rv = false; }
printf("LoadConfigFile was %s\n", rv?"true":"false" );
return rv;
}
bool LoadConfigFile ( void )
{
printf("before return true in LoadConfigFile\n");
return true;
}
};
void fv()
{
TConfig config; config.ProcessConfiguration();
}
