Proxy forwarder configuration help

[Chaudhury, Neel]

Hi Frank and others,

I have implemented an agent using snmp++3 and agent ++3.4 with disabled
_SNMPv3 option. It seems to be working fine except one problem that I  face
now. The following description explanins about the problem:

I have a class for SNMP agent derived from our own thread class. In the
constructor of this class, I initialize the snmp session object to 0, and
from my code I call the initialize() to create the snmp session. If
everything goes fine, it works fine. Suppose the SNMP session could not be
created, say due to bind failure. As I have allocated the snmp session
object, I want to free the memory using delete operator for that object
pointer. At this point the application crashes. I use winNT4.0 and VC++ 6.0.
When I tried to debug it, I found that the memory content for the session
object changes when it enters the destructor of Snmp class. In the ~snmp(),
since the construct_status is not SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS, it returns without
doing clean up. As soon as it returns it crashes. I could not get much help
why it's happening.

--------------------------
class SnmpAgent : public PmThread {
public:
	// construtor and destructor
    SnmpAgent() {pSnmpSess = 0}
    ~SnmpAgent(){};
    
    virtual void initialize () ;

	// terminate function of the thread
    virtual void terminate ()  ;

	// process function of the thread
	virtual void process ();

    //----Abstract Methods-----------------------------
private:
    Snmpx *pSnmpSess;  // SNMP session object	
    Mib mib;           // the agent's MIB 
    RequestList reqList;    // request list to be used by mib for outgoing
requests	
};

void SnmpAgent :: initialize() {
    int snmpStatus = 0;
    pSnmpSess = new Snmpx(snmpStatus, portNum); // create SNMP session
    if (snmpStatus != SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS) {
        delete pSnmpSess;	// delete the object
        if (snmpStatus == SNMP_CLASS_TL_IN_USE) {
            //error message - bind failed
        } 
    }
}
-----------------------------

Please help me.
Thanking you all in advance.
