Debugger causing a crash

[Corentin]

In my current project, I have a crash whenever i try to access Global strings in the Debugger. I saw no such thing reported here, and my global strings have nothing strange i can think of, such as french letters. But they are shared with subapps though, maybe it's the problem ?

I really can't send an example since it's a pretty big project, and needs to connect to a server. But the problem doesn't appear if I only run frame (not whole app), that's why i think it might be because my global values are shared with subapps.

Thanks for reading
EDIT : forgot to say the crash generates an error : instruction 0xXXXXXXX tries to access memory address 0xXXXXXXXX, memory can't be "read"...

I've not heard of this problem. The only thing I can think of is for you to create a backup then try and delete as much as possible while the bug is still evident and then post the reduced version.

You really will need to isolate the problem and post it somewhere so Clickteam can have a look at it.

I just tried without success to reproduce it in a fresh app

I had a look through my backups (400mo, 309 files [grin]), and the problem appeared recently, when i added some more global strings to communicate a pathname between subapps. Maybe storing pathnames in global strings causes a problem ?

I won't bother trying to isolate this (at least not soon), it will be far too long and I don't have much time at the moment. But i can send a version to Yves or François to look at if they're interested.

NOTE: the global strings are displayed before the crash occurs, I can see them before the error pops-up.

Yes, I would like a version. Thanks

I'll send you one tonight

EDIT: Uploaded, check pm.

More news on this crash :
I added some more Global strings to my app, and the crash first seemed not to happen anymore while opening the global strings in the debugger.

Then I tried to scroll down in the debugger and as soon as i move the scroll bar i have the crash mentioned above. Moving the horizontal scrollbar (one of my global string contains a pretty long string) works well.

EDIT: the version i uploaded some time ago wouldn't work anymore since much has changed server-side. Tell me if you want to test it, i'll upload an up to date version.

[Francois]

yes, please upload it and tell me when it is ready!

I still don't have a version to show you, but i noticed this crash only appears if others objects are added to the debugger too. Don't know if this helps you, but if I don't add any object, I can explore the Global strings. If any object is added the crash appears whenever i try to scroll down in the debugger.
