I ran into this a while ago and have already moved on, but I had a class such as this

Class MyClass{

And in my app I had something like

    MyClass classObject;
    classObject.someFunction();

When I compile, no warnings or errors. But when I run the application it just hangs at the function call. Eventually the app kills itself.

The problem is classObject is never initialized. This drove me crazy for an entire evening before I added a bunch of debug lines to narrow it down and then visually saw what the problem was.

I feel there should be some type of warning or error when compiling, or an error when we get to classObject.someFunction().

This is on 2.065, so forgive me if this has already been addressed. Again, it's been a while since I actually encountered the error, so not sure if i missed an aspect of it.

This *does* cause an error on 2.065: http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/0d6663890081

Or did you mistakenly type "Class" instead of "class"? In the above code, when you replace "Class" with "class", it runs and then segfaults. Either way, there is no hang.

Where did you install the compiler from? This is definitely a problem on your end.
