I looked briefly at your code. Given the behavior & error messages mentioned, I still am of the opinion that your code is walking into unallocated memory. Where, I did not discern. However, here are a few more thoughts on what can be done to find the problems:
- I didn't determine whether wm->height & wm->width were being assigned only once, but these values are frequently used as upper bounds in for-loops when iterating through the overall structure. You will want to make sure these values aren't changed past the point of allocation.
- I did notice that in write_world_file(), wm->height & wm->width are defined as type long, but the indexes used were of type int. Making the indexes the same type as the upper bound is a good idea.
- Write independent test code on the side which simply creates the structure with anticipated fixed sizes, write to each location in the structure, and read & write to a file. Start with very small sizes & ensure that reading & writing works. Once this is verified, increase the sizes & ensure that reading & writing still works. I still believe that some memory access is happening past what has been allocated. A simplified test case will make it easier to pinpoint the problem.
