memory error
I'm quite frequently getting messages like
The instruction at "0x0042efc1" referenced memory at "0x0d74d000".
The memory could not be "read".
Clixk on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
Then the only thing we can do is click on ok to start all over again.
This happens when pushing the tab button to indent the scriptlines.
Is anyone else who has the same problem????
And more important: is there anyone who knows the cause of this???

Re: memory error
Hi Monique,
welcome to the forum!
We need a bit more info!
What LiveCode version?
What platform: Win or Mac or *NIX?
Is this a LiveCode or system message?

Re: memory error
hello Klaus,
version of LiveCode is 4.5.3
Windows environment.
I've seen such a kind of problem also when I tried to google it, but still cannot find the cause or solution.
It's very annoying as as long as this is not solved, I have to save my updates again and again to be sure
I don't lose them as a bug like this might appear again.
When it occurs, it's always at a moment when I push the tab button to indent my coding.
(it does not always occur at the push of the tab button)
then when I open my stack again and remove a blanco line or a line that I do not need anymore, often the indenting goes ok.
Regards
Monique

Re: memory error
I just noticed your last question:
but I don't know if this is a LiveCode or system message

Re: memory error
Hi Monique,
hmmm, did you try to de-install LiveCode and install it again?
Restart Windows?
Sorry, no other idea so far...

Re: memory error
Hi Monique,
You can try to delete the file
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\RunRev\Preferences\livecode.rev
Perhaps you could upload a screenshot of the message?
Additionally, you could try to put true into gRevDevelopment every time you start up LiveCode and see if LiveCode drops into the debugger before crashing. Just execute this from the message box:
If you see the debugger or a new type of error message, make a screenshot and show it.
Kind regards,
Mark

Re: memory error
To be safe, that should be
but it sounds like your LiveCode installation has gotten corrupted. You shouldn't be able to get out-of-memory-range messages like that doing anything in LiveCode. I'd actually love it if we could - it would make some tasks much easier, but it isn't possible. I'd go with uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch.
Code: Select all
global gRevDevelopment; put true into gRevDevelopment
