Netlist generation - Assertion failed

[Pekka Harjamäki]

Trying to generate netlist from schematics editor causes assertion failure:

i have attached my project as zipfile. I'm using kicad bzr 4094 compiled with gcc 4.7.2. wxGTK version is 2.9.4.1

From the backtrace it seems that it got an unsigned long from size() and
choke on that... is your system 32 or 64 bits? I hope is 32 because
otherwise I have no explanation...

IIRC STL uses size_t for the size() return values, maybe that's the
difference... you could try replacing the %u with %z; I don't know if wx
supports it. Otherwise try with %lu (but then maybe a cast will be
needed for safely work on the other architecture).

so.. 64-bit system.. sorry :)

Changing line 149 (activity+=......) to this:

activity += wxString::Format( _( " net count = %z" ), g_NetObjectslist.size() );

caused this:

Changing the line to this seems to work:

activity += wxString::Format( _( " net count = %lu" ), g_NetObjectslist.size() );

Definitely not supported, given the error...

I *hate* wx when does this... it all depends on its compilation options.

Anyway I'll use the long with a cast for good measure, just to be sure.

not %z but rather %zu
Is worth a try.

Both %lu and %zu seem to be working.

Thanks for the correction, my fault. z is the modifier, not the type letter!
If it works it should be better than %lu with the cast.

%ld or % lu is incorrect on 32 bit systems. I was not actually guessing
when I said %zu.

Yes, that's the reason why I asked the platform before... I didn't
remember that the 'z' was a modifier and not the type letter.

However it's possible that it happened before since in one of the
3 formats in cvpcb there was an explicit int cast (used with %d).
Technically the right thing should be %zu, I agree.
