Debugging

[Masako Nohara Genetec]

Hello,

 

I couldn't debug my program on MR1 release with an error.

When I try to debug my program, I've got an following error.

Debug Assetion Failed!

Prpogram:CMcamXsdkdebugMastercam.exe

File:wincore.cpp

Line.384

 

I could debug my program with SP1 release and I used Visual Studio 6.0 with SP1 release.

I've changed my environment to VisualStudio 2003 with MR1 release.

 

Does anyone have information about this?

Mimi,

 

That's a fairly general error, so you're going to have to be more specific if you need help. My best suggestion is to check out your AFX_MANAGE_STATE macros to make sure that they are correctly placed, and that you're in the dll that corrosponds to the correct resource file before calling into MCDialog.

 

Try this:

1. Click "Retry" when the assertion comes up.

2. Look at the call stack, and find the closest funtion the you wrote that is in the call stack to the current execution point

3. if AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()) isn't the first line of the function, add it. (Note that this is a macro, so it isn't going to need a semicolon)

 

 

Best of luck,

Jon,

Thank you for you reply.

 

But this error doesn't happen when I try to run the C-hook.

This error occurs when I try to start Mastercam from VC.

 

After loading "C:MCamX-MR1resourcesMCCoreRes.dll",

the accessing error "exception:0xC0000005" occurs.

It seems that Mastercam has accessed the address "0x000000" and "0xffffffff".

So I believe that Mastercam accesses the valriables that are not initialized.

When I try to debug my program, the error I mentioned above occurs fifteen times, then encounters "break point of user setting" and my debugger stops.

Is there any necessarry information to solve this problem?

Jon,

 

Do you have any idea?

Are you sure that you are starting the DEBUG version of Mastercam.exe with VS when you are debugging? (It is in the DEBUG folder of the SDK)

[Masako Nohara Genetec]

Yes, I'm sure that I'm using the DEBUG version.

mimi,

 

After extensive internal discussions, we prescribe the following cure:

 

1. Open the directory c:mcamxchooks

(your install directory for MR2)

2. Find the file art.ft

3. Rename it art.ftt

 

This should alleviate the error. The art.ft file tells mastercam by its presence to load the art.dll file, and link it to your executable. However, the art.dll that was released is a release version, and not designed for debugging. By linking a release version in, your executable becomes not fully debuggable, and causes the error you see, hence Roger's questions about whether you were running the the Debug version.

 

Best of luck, and please let us know if this alleviates the problem
