It appears that OpenAI/ChatGPT is available in Thailand, officially. What countries is ChatGPT available & not available in? | WePC[^]
I would try using a laptop and or PC to set up an account and not your "VOIP" phone. I don't recall needing to provide a phone number to create the account, but I could be mistaken.

Thanks, as stated, I was using a Windows 10 laptop to try and register. The site demanded a phone number. The Android phone is a bog standard unlocked phone with a SIM from one of the largest telecoms in Thailand/Asia.

A recent post was about OP's code getting a crtisvalidheappointer error in a C code program. The code was using malloc/calloc and free, so it was a fair guess what was going wrong. One or two answers and comments were posted with the usual suggestions. The OP then posted the following:
Quote: thanks but I solved in this way:
if (pchTesto != NULL)
{
pchTesto = NULL;
delete pchTesto;
}
if (pchBuffOut != NULL)
{
pchBuffOut = NULL;
delete pchBuffOut;
}

Big whoopsie moment, I had a few of them, enugh that I made my own macro DDELETENULL(x) to avoid the same mistake.
#define DDELETENULL(x) if (x != NULL) {delete(x); x = NULL;}
I had a DFREENULL(x) which was identical but with free.

My dear Watson, it's pretty sure DFREENULL(x) came before the DDELETENULL(x) and the if statement got carried away. In C++ you can delete NULL pointers without hearing a peep from the compiler.

First, it was C++/98, mostly (VisualStudio 6, in 201x, ugh) and it would create issues.
Second, I do clean programming. If a pointer is NULL I don't delete it, despite what the compiler says. It's simply wrong.
Third, DDELETENULL came first because I needed it before I realized I also had some pointers to deallocate with free (mostly the ones allocated with _mm_malloc).

I have a lot of counterproductive instincts, but ones that I do have that I really appreciate are the ones that carry me through doing pointer operations. It's second nature, and I don't screw it up nearly as much as I deserve to.

wow. reminds me of the time when a coworker, who was a bit of a PITA - never listened to good advice, was convinced he had found a bug in the compiler. Having had this fantasy once or twice myself, I've learned that it is almost certainly not the compilier  . Myself and one other took a look at his code and immediately found a buffer overrun. He insisted that it always worked correctly before and that could not be the issue.
but back to that code fragment -

In the embedded world sometimes we actually find bugs in the compiler, though they are easier to spot since the disassembly is much leaner.

I have heard of this happening but never experienced it.
This had to do with the C compiler for OpenVMS. The people that worked on DEC's compilers were legendary.

Very long time ago I found a bug in the C++ compiler I was using.
So I wrote a letter to the company (again long time ago.) I carefully pointed out how the C++ compiler did not do what Stroustrup documented in "The C++ Programming Language".
The president of the company (I suspect the only employee) wrote back to tell me that Stroustrup was wrong.
Years later when the ANSI C++ spec was finalized I saw that Stroustrup was still right.
