[Flac-dev] reading vorbis comments with FLAC++?

Hi me (2x - Haberman and Coalson),

OK. Well, I found the C interface a little bit easier to understand, so
I ended up using that instead of continuing to try to figure out the C++
interface.

The one problem I have is that the values in block->data.
vorbis_comment.comments tend to have trailing junk. For example:

Breakpoint 1, get_flac(Song*, char const*) (flac=0x806b8a8,
path=0x8068844 "/usr/share/mp3/01-dazed_and_confused.flac")
    at ftfuncs.cc:53
53              for (i = 0; i < e->length; i++)
(gdb) p e->entry
$6 = (FLAC__byte *) 0x8066118 "TITLE=Dazed And Confused8Ini\021"
[...]

This only seems to happen sometimes, and the only reliable way to
prevent myself from treading into wild memory is to iterate e->length
times over each character in e->entry every single time and not go one
byte further.

I'm obviously doing something slightly wrong I suppose. The offending
code is at <http://cvs.triplehelix.org/tagreport/ftfuncs.cc>, function
get_flac().

But thanks for all your help. I might change to the C++ interface later
if I have time since the rest of the project is in C++ anyway.

Thanks,
