I have got a little project (10KB using boost) which doesn't run in my BCB5Pro well. It compiles, runs, but doesn't terminate (with gcc it does terminate). The IDE chokes with exceptions (from IDE, not from program) and messes up the editor (no changes to code are possible anymore). Is there a way of using another compiler for compilation, but to use the debugger of BCB which allows step-by-step execution and display of source?

Not unless the other compiler generates Borland-style debug information! Does the program terminate successfully when it is not run from within the IDE? My guess is that there is a latent bug in the source code, and that you are merely getting lucky when the project is run after being compiled with gcc. Have you tried CodeGuard, BoundsChecker, or AQTime to help pinpoint the bug? - Dennis Back to top Frank Birbacher Guest Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2004 12:37 am    Post subject: Re: debug information of other compiler Hi!

No. But it does when I turn off strict ANSI compliance. Quote: My guess is that there is a latent bug in the source code, and that you are merely getting lucky when the project is run after being compiled with gcc. Have you tried CodeGuard, BoundsChecker, or AQTime to help pinpoint the bug? I turned on CodeGuard, which reports a couple of error from within boost. The others you mentioned I don't have. I set up two scenarios: I: program doesn't consume all of its input files, but terminates due to invalid input II: program should comsume all of its input and produce an output file I found out for full debug mode, scenario I: - CodeGuard reports errors unless I use dynamic RTL and turn off strict ANSI compliance - Only if I use strict ANSI compliance, the program does not terminate. - I didn't notice a difference when running the program within the IDE or outside. In scenario II: - always hangs on writing the output via ofstream I guess the RougeWave/boost combo messes some things up, if run in strict ANSI mode (CG reported failed calls to some seek function inside fstream.h). BTW, the exe generated with BCB is 650KB only, while gcc/cygwin creates 1500KB and gcc/DevCpp in debug mode even >11MB (!).

CBX allows that, though.
