blitzcc.exe has stopped working?

| Hi, I have a bug in my program that causes blitzcc to crash, which means I get no debug information. Any ideas on how to tackle this type of error? Thanks. PS. I am running vista are the any known issues with blitzcc.exe and vista? |

| I've known the occasional crash - under XP. Just in case of any weird formatting problem - if it is only one program that crashes - copy and paste the contents into notepad then create a new .bb file in Blitz3D and paste the sucker back. |

| Thanks, but the program does run for ages and then crashes, I guess it a memory leak somewhere. |
| ||
| One thing I'll do when I have a hard time with a program (Often, hehehe), is comment out certain parts and try to run it. I have had problems to the extent that Ive had to comment out 90% of the code before I found the area that was having the problem. I have a 8" lump on the side of my head from slapping myself and saying "uggggh! You idiot!!" hahahaha. |

| Write debug info out to a text file instead to get a rough idea of where you are when it crashes. I'd guess a memory leak or stack corruption. |

| Hi, take a look to all this commands if you use "CreateBank". I think the debugger dont cover this because this will bee to slow. http://www.blitzforum.de/help/?subcat=4 bye |

| Open your program, then open task manager and looks at the memory usage for the application. If it is constantly rising then, you gotta a memory leak somewhere. Sounds like a resource being freed then trying to locate that resource again. I'm sure calling freeentity only free's it from memory, but still leaves the variable holding a memory location. So try setting vars to zero after freeing and checking all resources handles for non zero values if you think they have been freed. |

| Thanks for the help, time for some more investigation I think! Funny thing is I ran it on an XP machine last night and it completed its render without crashing. |
| ||
| We ned more information to help you.. try to pin point where in the code it stalls. use the Stop command and run in debug mode to find where it stop. |
| ||
| Thanks, I have tried to pin point by running in debug mode, but it crashes out, including the debugger so no info... I will try and see if it is just vista by running some more tests. |
