Re: Breaking the 10-limit : Problems/Questions for Windows build

Hi, Mart, and all.

Question to all developpers at the bottom ...

Actually, it only loads one module (contrary to linuxModInfoDir).
It is not currently called anywhere in Torcs.

Not sure to understand ... So, what do you think to be the best solution ?
1) do not check c/malloc at all (p = calloc(...); p->...) ?
2) check it, printf a message on the console (if any), and then exit(1); ?
3) same a 2, but don't exit(1) : return error code from the current function if 
applicable ?
4) any better suggestion ?

Thanks all in advance !

Cheers,

Jean-Philippe.
