Have you tried using Data Breakpoints[^]? The debugger can automatically stop when a given memory location is changed. You probably have some stack- or heap-trashing bug, where you're overrunning a buffer, or possibly a calling-convention mismatch which can leave the stack unbalanced.

Thanks Mike, I actually have a hash map failure and I’m using the VS Memory Viewer, but I will take a look to the “Data Breakpoints”.

The part I hate is how stupid you feel when you find the cause of the problem, and you want to beat yourself in the face with a 2x4. My most recent one went something like this:
TableEntry *entry = TableFind(device_serial_number);
if (entry == NULL) {
_DeviceTable.Add(new TableEntry(device_serial_number));
_DeviceList.InsertItem(entry->DeviceName);
}This piece of code only got exercised in unusual circumstances, and was an absolute PITA to figure out in release mode. I was down to link maps and assembly language listings before I found it. Then I had to go looking for a 2x4.

But of course entry is NULL, it will explode in the 2nd statement of the if.

Go get boundschecker or other error searching software. for my company it helped a lot to find very hard to find little bugs... Sometimes you are suprised how many errors this software can find.

It does to a certain extent, however as applications get complex its performance start going down to the extent that it is unusable.

Yes, but if you have automated test scenarios, or if you test small libraries it is very handy.

Is that right? Even if each line is full of 80 characters of source, that's 5.3 million lines. :~

Sorry my bad. The debug database and release files are in the same folder which I checked before. The reality is less then 50 Mb source code and about 1500 files. Did I mention that mentally I’m a blonde today?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)Indeed it did. I've omitted a couple dozen lines of code from the original. This is what I got for copy/pasting code and not paying attention :doh:.
