hey!
i have this *very* interesting bug that occurs
very rarely in my program in which a Fatal Exception
is thrown after a long period of use.
what would be the best way to approach this
problem?
gremlins? or.. better memory management.
i have tracked the problem down to a particular
"series of actions" however when i repeat it.. i n
need to repeat it over and over again (that long
period of time - 20mins+) before it happens again.
i declare a global variable which is a structure,
and i feel that it may be a sharing violation with
that memory.
would i be better off declaring something like:
VoidHand myGlobalHandle;
MyStructPtr myGlobalVar;
...
myGlobalHandle = MemNew(sizeof(MyStruct)); (or whatever)
and when i use this data, use the:
myGlobalVar = (MyStructPtr)MemHandleLock(myGlobalHandle)..
MemHandleFree(myGlobalVar);
this means i will dynamically allocate my "structure"..
does anyone know if this might help - or have you
come accross the "Fatal Exception" problem?
any guidance / experiences would be helpful. :P
cheers.
az.
