Hi!
I wrote a program that displays ACBM files i C (translation of
LoadACBM.bas found on Extras: disk). It works fine except for one
thing : the process hangs at the end of the program just before I
do a CloseWindow, any lines before the CloseWindow are always
executed. He doesn't seem to take any CPU, I can start other
processes after the program is run and not have any problems (except
possibly memory problems since the program allocates a lot of that).
The program doesn't always hang. If the ACBM file uses colorcycling
then there is no problem ie. if the program runs through a certain
loop before then CloseWindow, then he exits very nicely.
I have an AMIGA 500 kickstart 1.2 and use Lattice C 4.1.
Unfortunately I can't supply the code but you can look at the
LoadACBM.bas, my program is almost a direct translation.
Any idea of what the problem could be ? A bug in Lattice C 4.1 ?

| 1904.1 | Almost definately a 100% solution... | HPSTEK::SENNA | Wed Nov 23 1988 10:12 | 9 | |
...Geez Lars, I'd be more than willing to help but *ALMOST* ???
Many things are almost in life...but if you look at things as computers
do (digitally), you realize a one is a one a zero is a zero and
almost the same as different!!!
Hey that was almost profound!!!
Without the code, its useless.... Tom

| 1904.2 | Forget to deallocate?? | RAVEN1::EVERHART | Wed Nov 23 1988 12:46 | 15 | |
I agree with .1. It's almost impossible to find the error without
seeing the code, but you can almost bet that you've forgotten to
free something that was allocated. It might be a window, a screen,
a rastport, a console, or anything else. The best way to check
for freeing used areas is to just undo everything you did...in reverse
order.
Remember, if you forget to free something (close a window) in BASIC,
it is automatically done for you when you quit. In C, you have
to do everything yourself, so if the basic program doesn't do it,
you might still have to. I hope this helps. I have a headache,
so i don't know if it makes much sense.
