[Question] Overwriting memory? about arest HOT 4 CLOSED

It can be, I am not the best expert in C/C++ :) What should I be doing to make a better usage of the memory?

from arest.

if( int_variables[variables_index<NUMBER_VARIABLES){
code
}
else
do nothing?

You are using templates and not a c++ expert? Someone should really have a look at your code or it might end with a lot of crashes or unexpected behavior.

Agreed for that, there should be a check if we already filled the array or not. I'll make sure to add it.

Also what did you mean by "reallocate the memory"? Is that the same issue?

As I said, I have a good knowledge of C++, otherwise I wouldn't have created this library, but I don't claim to know all. I also have a series of test based on Node.js that I run on a live Arduino after each modification of the library to make sure all the functionalities are working.

You can use static array size (like right now) and check for overflow (code above) or you can dynamically reallowcate the array and make it variable like a string or a c++ vector. Static should be smaller implementation and fine. just check for overflows to not exceed the array limit and write to memory the function shouldnt write to.
