Error System Stopped Working

I've recently encountered this problem with my application, and it puzzles me.
Now, when a runtime error occurs, the Windows error tells me that a problem has occured and the program has stopped working.
These should be generating FW / xHarbour errors.
I'm using the same xHarbour ( .com ) / xBuilder that I have for the past year, and FW 11.09.
Can anyone suggest where I should look to see why my error system no longer works ?

Hi Tim;
Could it be that what you are getting is a gpf?
A way to test is to manually introduce semantics error such as;
MsgInfo( nonexitant->field1 ) //where that work area is not in use.
or
local cText := "some text"
if cText
endif
That should compile fine yet it would cause the fw error handler to popup.
Reinaldo.

The following:
cText := "Trash"
IF cText > 09
MsgInfo( "Dump" )
ENDIF
Posts a Win 7 error, not a FWH error.
This has been consistent for the past few weeks ...

Tim,
Check errsysw.prg and remove the line that reports nExtMem()
Not sure if there is a work around for this yet.
Regards,
Pete

viewtopic.php?p=119574#p119574We are just calling a Windows API function. Strange that it fails...

My mistake. This is the right code and we missed to include it in FWH 12.01:
Code: Select all | Expand
HB_FUNC( NEXTMEM ) // --> nHardwareMemory
{
MEMORYSTATUSEX mst;
memset( &mst, 0, sizeof( MEMORYSTATUSEX ) );
mst.dwLength = sizeof( MEMORYSTATUSEX );
GlobalMemoryStatusEx( &mst );
hb_retnll( mst.ullTotalPhys );
}
Tim could you please check it this way in your code that was crashing ? thanks

Antonio,
I commented out that section based on the previous post. I do not see that function in the error prg file.

Tim,
That function source code is inside FWH\source\winapi\mem.c
Anyhow, it will be changed in FWH 12.02

I see there is an alternative errorsw_.prg in the source code. How would I specify that one for my program to use instead of the default, using the library. I realize I could link it in before the libraries ....

Tim,
Yes, you could compile it and link it as another OBJ of your app

I just upgraded to latest xHarbour and FWH 12.12 and I'm have this same problem.
<<Check errsysw.prg and remove the line that reports nExtMem()>>
I did this and it fixed the problem however, I'm wondering why I need to do this or if I should be doing something else.
Thanks,
Randal

Randal,
Please build this app and let me know if it keeps GPFing, thanks
randal.prg
Code: Select all | Expand
#include "FiveWin.ch"
function Main()
nExtMem()
MsgInfo( nExtMem() )
return nil
#pragma BEGINDUMP
#include <windows.h>
#include <hbapi.h>
HB_FUNC( NEXTMEM ) // --> nHardwareMemory
{
MEMORYSTATUSEX mst;
memset( &mst, 0, sizeof( MEMORYSTATUSEX ) );
mst.dwLength = sizeof( MEMORYSTATUSEX );
GlobalMemoryStatusEx( &mst );
hb_retnll( mst.ullTotalPhys );
}
