App quits on error without showing error Windows 7

[Rick Lipkin]

To All

I have been doing my development at work on WinXP and have not had any problems. Recently my Windows 7 32 bit machine will compile my ( same ) programs and run them just fine .. but when the program 'breaks' I do not get the Error screen or an error.log file.

I thought it might be my laptop .. so I just re-formatted it with a fresh install. Unfortunately the problem still exists. What makes the problem more perplexing .. if I go to \samples ( on my laptop ) and modify tutor01.prg to create a run-time error by assigning a variable and purposely mis-spelling the variable, ( Buildx tutor01 )the run-time error.log works when the program breaks.

So I know there must be a problem somewhere in assigning my libs. I went through my xMate environment and made sure all the libs were being called and in the same order as buildX.bat .. and the program continues to build, but when I force it to break .. my application abruptly quits .. no error.log, no run-time Fw dialog.

I take the compiled program compiled from my Windows 7 machine and copy it to my WinXP machine .. and I get a GPF on the Run-Time error.

Here is my xMate environment. Please have a look at the libs ( Borland 5.82 and FWH 1501 ) and the command lines and PLEASE tell me what is wrong

Do you use errsysw_.prg or the modified errsysw.prg that was published here as an enhancement?
When I updated my Fivewin it was crashing on me also. I found that errsysw_.prg and my modified version was using FWBitmap() with no parameters and it would crash. There must have been a change. Now errsysw.prg is using FWLogoBitMap() instead and when I replaced it in errsysw_.prg it no longer crashed .

// GDF Mod Error 02/05/2015
//hLogo = FWBitMap()
hLogo = FWLogoBitMap()
// GDF EndMod Error 02/05/2015

I have no modified programs .. just using the FWH libs

Just checking because if you are not getting error message then I believe it is either an error in the error handler itself or windows exception error that is not handled by the error handler.

Just a follow up .. when I run buildx tutor01 on my WinXP machine I get this error :

Hello,

Do you have an hb_out.log file?.

Harbour creates it when happens your problem.

Elvira, I am using xHarbour and no file what so ever is being created .. the application just abruptly quits.
Hmpaquito, I read your thread and it seems to point to SqlRDD and I am not using any additional libs .. just standard FWH

I appreciate everyone's help .. still stuck here

Rick Lipkin

[hmpaquito]

No Rick, what I mean is that you record calls at the beginning of ErrorSys so:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#define PROCNAME_(n) ProcName(n) + "(" LTrim (STr(ProcLine(n))) + ")"
#define CALLED_ PROCNAME_(1) + Space(3) + ;
                        PROCNAME_(2) + Space(3) + ;
                        PROCNAME_(3)
FClose( FWrite( FCreate( "AtBegin.txt", FC_NORMAL), CALLED_ ))

Another problem I had when upgraded was that some functions related to ADS were not automatically included. My app exited without any error message.
Previously I just needed
Request ADS, DBFCDX

But I found that I had to add the following to keep my app from crashing.
external adsgetrelkeypos, ADSSetRelKeyPos, ADSKeyCount

I don't know why upgrading Fivewin would have affected my RDD functions.

I have solved my problem .. after testing a few other apps on my W7 machine and creating a program break .. I did indeed get the error screen and .log.

That led me to a possible project list corruption in my xMate file. I decided to recreate my xMate project and add all my .prg back in and much to my surprise I had a file named Rview .prg ( notice the extra spaces ).

After correcting my DOS naming error .. I was able to re-create my xMate project list and was able to get a successful run-time break with the error.log and dialog.

For whatever reason, Xp was a bit more (dos ) forgiving or I would have found this error sooner.

Thanks to all for their help and advice.

I don't know why upgrading Fivewin would have affected my RDD functions.

Earlier, we had to include "xbrowse.ch" separately.
If ads.ch was included prior to xbrowse.ch, then xbrowse.ch automatically requests these ads* functions.
Please see these lines at the end of xbrowse.ch:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#ifdef ADS_NTX
   REQUEST ADSKEYCOUNT, ADSGETRELKEYPOS, ADSSETRELKEYPOS
#endif
 

But now, xbrowse.ch is included as a part of fivewin.ch and so at the time compiling ADS_NTX is not defined and the request is not included.

if you are still have the program header like this:
#include "fivewin.ch"
#include "ads..ch"
#include "xbrowse.ch"
then I suggest this small modification in the copy of xbrowse.ch you have.
Please see at the end of xbrowse.ch

Code: Select all  Expand view

#ifdef ADS_NTX
   REQUEST ADSKEYCOUNT, ADSGETRELKEYPOS, ADSSETRELKEYPOS
#endif

#endif

Change these lines as:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#endif

#ifdef ADS_NTX
   REQUEST ADSKEYCOUNT, ADSGETRELKEYPOS, ADSSETRELKEYPOS
#endif

Thank you for the explanation.
