Release Mode issue

[dipuks]

Hello, I am trying to run my Win32 application in Release mode. The application breaks and it pops up a message box with title "Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library" and the first line in message box is "Debug Error!" Below that, there is some "Buffer overrun ........." message. And it has 3 buttons, ABORT, RETRY, CANCEL. Just confused why in Release mode it popos up a message box with Debug Error. Is it a problem with Release Configuration setting? Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

No, it sounds more like a problem with your code - the "Buffer overrun" gives it away. Although...why does it say "Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library" - are you linking with a release variant of the run-time (in project properties, check C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime Library)? Anyway - if you've got the correct runtime variant, turn on debug information (you can, even in a Release mode app) and run your app under the debugger. See where in your code the exception is raised.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Check to see if you're not initializing any pointers to 0. Debug mode will do this for you, but in release mode, a pointer may start off with a garbage value, and consequently, if you try to use it, any one of a number of weird things can happen.
