Agreed - I hope my somewhat labor intensive DBIN DBOUT individual thread
logging mechanism can help - it's a bit to implement admittedly but it's
paid back that in saved time many times over because I can say run two
threads and when the program crashs I have logs from EACH thread and
where they "stopped" gging.. that narrows it down a lot.
One thing I didn't mention was that you can use it multiple times in one
function kinda of like one might
use breakpoints in a decent IDE. This helps me identify where the
failures are..
e.g.
...
{$IFDEF
DBINDBOUT}p_Context.JTHREAD.DBIN(201002061840,'CallSomeProcedurethatISuspectAFail',SOURCEFILE);{$ENDIF}
CallSomeProcedurethatISuspectAFail;
{$IFDEF
DBINDBOUT}p_Context.JTHREAD.DBOUT(201002061840,'CallSomeProcedurethatISuspectAFail',SOURCEFILE);{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF
DBINDBOUT}p_Context.JTHREAD.DBIN(201002061841,'CallAnother',SOURCEFILE);{$ENDIF}
CallAnother;
{$IFDEF
DBINDBOUT}p_Context.JTHREAD.DBOUT(201002061841,'CallAnother',SOURCEFILE);{$ENDIF}

SO FREAKING TRUE! 99% of the time for me on those toughies...
(That's why I wrote that little DBIN DBOUT thing when fighting one of
those -
it helped me too.. and I located the issue pretty quick once I bit the
bullet
and implemented it.)
