RE: Very interesting thing happend while creating a menu item...

[jon wackley]

It happens in 5.3 in cygwin, and solaris.  This seems so consistent that I
did not try other platforms, let me know if this is o.k.;

#include <ncurses/curses.h>
#include <ncurses/menu.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main( int argc, char * argv[ ] ) {

    ITEM * the_menu_item_one = NULL;
    ITEM * the_menu_item_two = NULL;

    if ( initscr( ) == FALSE ) {
        return -1;
    }

    the_menu_item_one = new_item("This is a test","");
    the_menu_item_two = new_item("\x1BThis is a test","");

    endwin();

    printf( "Menu item one is%snull\n", the_menu_item_one == NULL ? " " : "
not " );
    printf( "Menu item two is%snull\n", the_menu_item_two == NULL ? " " : "
not " );

    return 0;

}

Thanks,
