Title: What means ODS ?
Post by: Alessio on June 09, 2005, 09:15:37 PM
Hi,

after I've debbuging my app I've seen the following text on debug tab:
[ANAG.exe]:
ODS: Number of free blocks in arena (47561) does not match number in the free lists (47560)[/list]
What means ?

Thanks.

ODS = OutputDebugString.

A program (or one of it's libraries) can send "trace output" to the debugger through the Windows API function OutputDebugString. The debugger will just print the string - what the string means is probably best explained by the person who wrote the OutputDebugString call... ;-)
