FreeThought · Post by **FreeThought** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 7:01 pm

CalcID = RunProgram("Calc.Exe", "", "", #PB_Program_Open)
Debug CalcID
CloseProgram(CalcID )

I have an error on compiling the above code with debugger on,on 4.10b2, any one having the same problem or just me.(probably my setup).

@codemaniac
Thanks for testing this . truly appreciate it .please note (threadsafe unchecked).

When Threadsafe is unchecked it works like in the above image, but when Threadsave is enabled it hangs there with 1000% CPU usage.

confirmed

you should consider moving this to the bugs section

Heres a shorter example :

Code: Select all

; Threadsafe must be enabled ! Debugger on
; tested and fails in PB4.02 / PB4.10B2
Debug RunProgram("Calc.Exe")

With disabled debugger and without the debug it works :

Code: Select all

; Threadsafe enabled / Debugger off
; tested in PB4.02 / PB4.10B2
RunProgram("Calc.Exe")

Works fine here when set to the above conditions and versions.

well, as I noted above if create threadsafe executable is unchecked,and debugger is on then i get the following msg when compiling:

PureBasic_Compilation0.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

(windows xp sp1 4.10b2)

Works here with the mentioned options.

Works fine here still. You got any user libraries installed or anything?

Not meaning to change the subject, but for some reason whenever i try to execute a program that doesn't really exist, my program just hangs. (PB4.00) Anyone else get this?

You mean like this?

Code: Select all

Debug RunProgram("c:\NotExists.exe") ; Returns 0 as expected.

If so, no, with v4.02 this code doesn't hang for me. BTW, v4.00 is obsolete
and is therefore not subject to bug investigation anymore (Fred's words).

On my computer PB's 1 line snippet works as expected unless I set the threadsafe option active. When active it just hangs.
However, add a couple of other lines to the code & it works as it should threadsafe active or not.

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,0,0,100,100,"",#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
Debug RunProgram("c:\NotExists.exe") ; Returns 0 as expected.
EndIf

Edit: Tested with PB4.02 & also 4.10B2 with same results

it works now in all cases, what I did is to copy my 4.02 folder to another folder instead of installing new 4.02 to an another . updated it .

many thanks to everyone tried to help.

i think it depends on the processor

My examples works on my laptop (Intel Pentium M 1,70 GHz), but not on my PC (Intel Core2 Duo E6600 2,40 GHz).
With Baldrick addition it works again on both machines

PS: and yes it was a clean install of PureBasic V4.02
