Hi Wolfgang

I installed this package to a clean directory and then started it.

I opened an existing project and set the directory paths for the project.

I then used Build to generate a new project executable file.

Attempting to Run that application results in an error message when trying to
start the application:-

"Critical Error

Access violation exception (EGPFault) occured at CS:EIP =$0000005B:$00016BA8 at
$00016BA8 !
Terminate program ?"

The same message is displayed if I use the Run command in WDSibyl.


Of possible interest here: The only thing changed from a previously successful
Build and Run is the version of WDSibyl, the code has not changed.

Reverting to the previous WDSibyl (20061114) release and rebuilding the
executable I find that my application does not produce the above error message
but starts as it should.

Regards

Pete

Which compiler do you have choice in the Installprogram?
Do have your program debug and by which comand do you get the exception?
You see this in the Derbug/CPU-Window, when you start the program in
Debug-Modus

WDSibyl 3.0

No.

and by which comand do you get the exception?


Build the application, exit WDSibyl, try running application by clicking on the
executable.

The same error occurs if I use the Project, Run option within WDSibyl.

No Debug involved.

WDSibyl 3.0

Das war mir schon klar, dass Du die IDE WDSibyl 3.0 verwendest. Obwohl
die aktuelle Version 3.03 ist.
Hast Du das Installationsprogramm verwendet?
Wenn ja: Hast Du auf der Seite Compiler den neuen WDSibyl Compiler
Version 3.0 (beta Version) verwendet?
Wenn das auch ja: Diese Version ist eine Beta-Version und kann noch
viele Fehler haben. Da musst du mir genau den Source bzw. ein kleines
Beispiel schicken, das zu diesen Problem führt.

Wenn Du das Installprogramm nicht verwendet hast, dann wird es
kompliziert und da musst Du Dich selber durschlagen. Sorry, aber da
können viele Ursachen das Problem verursachen.

Ob das Programm ausserhalb von WDSibyl verwendet wird oder innerhalb ist
im prinzip egal. Versuche mit dem WDSibyl-Debugger, das Problem zu
lokalisieren.

No Debug involved.

Aktiviere den Debugger, setze ein Breakpoint auf "Begin" vom
Hauptprogramm und starte das Programm mit dem Debugger. Gehe Step fuer
Step das gesamte Programm durch.

Hi Wolfgang

I finally got around to translating your reply and found some time to try out
the Debug here are the results.

I used the Installer to install WDSibyl

This offers the choice of the SpeedSoft compiler or WDSibyl 3.0 (beta) - I see
from the Help, Product Information that the version is 3.03

I set Debug on in the Project Settings.

I then set a BreakPoint on Begin in the main program code.

I used F8 to Step over.

Here is the main code:-

Begin
Application.Create;
Application.ProgramIniFile:=nil;
Application.CreateForm (TForm1, Form1);
Application.Run;
Application.Destroy;
End.


When pressing F8 on the "Application.CreateForm (TForm1, Form1);" line the
system responds with an error message:-
Exception: 'Access violation' in 'SYSTEM.PAS(10425)' occured!

The SYSTEM.PAS file opens and this line is indicated:-

CMPD [EDI+0],0 //end of list ??


Hope the above is of some help.
