Sourceboost Ide Crashes On Startup / Loading Project

[Ian Harris 0]

Hi all,

 

Running 7.11 and it has an annoying habit of crashing on loading certain project files - even one I have just created. Once it does this, of course, then next time it starts up it tries to reload the project and crash again.

 

Here's a project file that crashes every time. Tried uploading but the forum says I'm not allowed to upload that sort of file.

Hi

 

Do you have a "TODO" comment in any of the files?

If so, try to get ride of it and see if it makes a difference.

 

 

 

Best regards

Jorge

Jorge,

 

Good find.

 

I removed the files one by one until I found which one made it crash. I was fooled since I didn't think SourceBoost looked in the source files as it started, but it must do to read the "todo" list.

 

 

volatile unsigned long ulSmartConfigFinished, ulCC3000Connected,ulCC3000DHCP,

OkToDoShutDown, ulCC3000DHCP_configured;

 

and

 

OkToDoShutDown = 1;

 

were the lines in the source files to cause the IDE to crash on startup. Changing them to "OkToShutDown" allows the IDE to startup okay.

 

cheers

Ian.

Hi

 

AFAIK this is a bug in the editor (text preprocessing) from an atempt to idenntify the "TODO" keyword in comments to allow the programmer to use as a hint for unfinished sections of code.

 

If I recall correctly there is already another thread on the subject in this forum.

 

 

Best regards

Jorge
