Alas, after fateful days of debugging and refactoring, and not a chance in hope I'll be able to track down an elusive bug, I decided to check the logfiles. I made a nice neat little error logger, so now its time to go through it and see if it yeilds anything valuable. Ah HA!

simply put: WTF?! I'm using streams for the error log, and I have NO idea how I could bork it that badly. Does anyone have any insight at all as to how it possible to bamboozle a stream like this? I'm completely lost as to how I've managed to mess this up. Also, all of the data read at that point is also corrupted. I first noticed to problem when I was trying to generate gl display lists and I could access the data. The same data which is being read when the errlog goes kapoot. Thanks in advance. Cheers

Its just a long shot (because I dont know what your logging code looks like or what the original problem is), but is it possible that the logger is fine and is printing corrupted data - which is the cause of your original problem?

Id step through the debugger to verify this and map the memory while going through the routines.

Hope that helps..

/*build polygon linked list*/    for(int i=0; i<*num_polygons; i++){      errlog<<"adding polygon: "<<i<<"\n";      file>>object.polygon_list.append();    }

Thats the simple polygon loading loop.
file is an ifstream.

overload the >> operator for streaming filedata into polygons

ifstream& operator>>(ifstream& file, POLYGON& poly){  file>>poly.normal;  file>>poly.verts[0];  file>>poly.verts[1];  file>>poly.verts[2];  return file;}

file is eventually cascaded into:

ifstream& operator>>(ifstream& file, POINT3f& point){  if(!&point || !&file)    return file;  file.read((char*)(&(point.x)), sizeof(float));  file.read((char*)(&(point.y)), sizeof(float));  file.read((char*)(&(point.z)), sizeof(float));  return file;}

I'm confused as to why everything is read fine until a point, then corrupted, then read fine after that.

could lots of things...

memory corruption would be my guess. Are you allocating enough buffer space for your data? If you think you do, try to allocate the same amount plus some extra, and run the test again. if the memory corruption happens further down, then your memory allocator could be not working properly. Although, you should get an access violation at some point.

when you create the ifstream, do you create the buufer allocation before? something like

char* buffer;
ifstream file;

when you do file.read((char*)(&(point.x)), sizeof(float));, can't you do fille>>point.x; directly?

when you read vectors, do sanity checks, like check the exponent part of the vector you read, vaildate floats by checking if the exponent part is corrupted.

if ((((*(int *)&float_number) >> 23) & 0x8F) > 32)
Assert("Invalid floating point number");

not sure if this is correct, but someone will correct me on that.

Could also be that your importer is missing something about the object format. maybe this object as something particular about it, like reflection maps, or flags, and you missed something, therefore, all the data is offset in the file. But I doubt.

when reaching object4, flush the stream, check the file, and step by step through the log outputs, while flushing the log buffer everytime you output something.

I'm just guessing though....

Everything is better with Metal.
