Unknow Characters in Display using ncurses
Hi Dear,
I have written a small C/C++ aplication which is using ncurses library. When the application runs, some times some unknown characters are displayed on the screen. It happens some times and on some pc's. I have used "mvwprintw" for displaying text of my own will and proper use of "wrefresh" to refresh window. But i m not getting the idea from where those chararcter comes from. The unwanted characters are diplayed randomly on the screen meaning that they not have some specified position on the screen. Can any one help me in this matter.

Thanks

Do you have any way to check for bounds overruns and pointer issues in your code?

Maybe you're stepping on some memory somewhere that is messing up the data held by the ncurses library to refresh the screen?
