- I'll cut right to the problem...
-
- Swatch reports that my application's heap has gone BAD BAD BAD BAD
- (Swatch's words, not mine). I followed the source code until this condition
- occured, and it happens right after a call to new ( anObject ). My TRY,
- CATCH, ENDTRY doesn't blow up, so the call must've worked, yet my heap is
- cooked. I'd look into the code for new, but there is no way to get it into
- the debugger to trace it (is there?).
-
- Also, this problem *used to* crash badly enough that even Macsbug could not
- recover (on a StripAddress call which I did not make). The odd thing about
- this is that when I turned on 32 bit addressing for the Mac, my program
- doesn't crash, but the heap still gets scrambled.
-
- I have to admit, that this is somewhat fun playing detective, but I'm
- getting frustrated with this problem, so some pointers would really help!
-
- Thanx!
