[Dev-C++] Errors in dev-cpp4

[<ste...@ge...>]

Hi!

I often get the following error when working in DevCPP;

"Access violation at address 00402891 in module 'DEVCPP.EXE'. Read of
address 00F8EFFD"

What can I do to fix this problem?


Thanks, Stein.

Hi Stein,

If you have a few minutes, try the following steps, they should lead to the 
"access violation" error.

Phase 1 - creating a new project
   - start Dev-C++
   - click new project, choose console application
   - type a name for the project (let's say av)
   - save the file "Untitled1" (added by default) with the name av_main
   - exit Dev-C++

Phase 2 - triggering the error
   - start Dev-C++
   - open project av (for example use File-Reopen)
   - in the project window, click on av_main (so now you can edit it)
   - make any change to the file (push space bar)
   - try to compile the project: the error box should pop up

According to my experience opening an existing project (by using either 
File-Open or File-Reopen), editing any file in the project and then 
compiling triggers the error.

I think it is a bug so have posted the above steps to Colin Laplace weeks 
ago; don't know if he has had time to fix it yet In the meanwhile I have no 
good solution to the problem other than the trivial one (it fits my console 
applications, don't know about Windows applications): abandon project 
files, resort to classic makefiles.
