This seems to be a team project, with "junior" programmers involved. Since
the known bug (reference to invalid memory areas) is so blatent, I would
recommend code walk-thrus and other peer-review procedures be installed.

Kevin,
I think that the answer is that your testing may
not reveal a problem, but somewhere, somewhen,
somebody will find it. And it will happen when
you are trying to make a critical release upon
which the life of your company depends, or worse,
upon which the life of a patient depends, given
th
There's a theory in QA'ing a program that says that the nature of the bugs
you find are driven by the weaknesses of the development team. This
can then lead you to predict where other, yet unknown, bugs are likely to
be found.
Therefore the known bug you have discovered would indicate that the

The 68k really doesn't care about reading the wrong address, although you
could get an alignment fault by reading from an odd (as opposed to even)
address. I can't think of any I/O ports that will object to a random read,
although you could maybe clear some condition that hadn't been serviced yet.
Like I said, in practice, I don't really expect a crash to occur. If
you are having intermittent crashes, I would suspect another cause.
I'm curious...are these intermittent problems occurring only on the
device? If not, I'm wondering how Poser could be changed to help you
out (whereas it curren

You never know if the errant read will cause a problem. You really
should protect against doing that. Is it possible to mess up
bad in either case). I'm just
wondering if the act of accessing the memory (which causes a bus
error on the emulator), will leave our app or the OS in a bad
state

Doesn't this amount to reading a value from an ill-defined location then
taking an action based on the value? Sounds like trouble brewing...

Check into DevStudio at:

Great IDE that uses the GCC toolset.
