I have a large program with external C static lib.

With 6.04 everything went fine.

With 6.10b6 I was first not able to compile it. I need some additional Import "" files.
Then the compiler errors were gone, but ...

With debugger on the program crashes immediately. Not possible to reach a breakpoiint in the first line.
Without debugger the program runs and works normal.

With C backend I get strange error messages.

From 6.04 to 6.10 breaks something.

Has someone similar experiences?

Btw. also the IDE is more instable since 6.xx Once a day or more I need to use the tasmkamager to kill the IDE, because it is no longer responsive.
Sometimes I still can type text in a code, but the menu does nothing and also cut and paste is no longer working.

You might need to update your static lib (compile them with VS 2022)

I kind of have the opposite where code only works correctly with the debugger and outputs garbage without the debugger but only on x86.

I also had crash problems because of static libs packing msvcrt, so rebuilt them minus the crt dependencies and they work fine now.

This will be tricky.
It is a large project which uses many snprintf() etc.

2 years ago it tooks 2 weeks to get it working with PB (PJSIP)

Have you tried to retarget the VS build? the ucrt was added vs2015 so both builds of PJSIP are prior to that if it fails
you can read here to see the specific changes https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/p ... 170#BK_CRT

or you can try adding the crt dependencies to the archive like msvcrt.lib, libcmt, libvcruntime...

Ok, compiled the lib with VS2022 it works, but ...

my 'small' test programm stops at the second command with:

error: Overflow in the global datablock

Compiled with PB 6.10b6 x86 asm backend.
It works with C backend.

Now the strange thing:
In my big program it runs with asm backend without problems.

Such things drive me crazy.

You bet, I experienced these kind of issues a lot of time and it's annoying as hell and hard to spot the real culprit.

You'd think it'd be plain sailing with same crt but no always something to drive you crazy.
