Is your Ted2Go crashing in Window 7 when debugging?

[FerdiParticipant]

Sorry if I post this in the wrong forum, usually there is a bug forum in Monkey-X.

In file “modules/std/process/native/process.cpp” change:

C++

int n=WriteFile( _rep->in,str.c_str(),str.length(),0,0 );

1	int n=WriteFile( _rep->in,str.c_str(),str.length(),0,0 );

To

C++

DWORD at; int n=WriteFile( _rep->in,str.c_str(),str.length(),&at,0 );

1 2 3

DWORD at; int n=WriteFile( _rep->in,str.c_str(),str.length(),&at,0 );

There are 2 places that require to be changed.

I got the fix from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17130532/writefile-causes-crash-with-access-violation

Yeah, it’s always done that on ‘7. I did find it was crashing in a system command (think it was writeLn or something?) but will give this a go.

Yes, Mark has stated that the official dev platform was W10 and that he would not try to resolve that problem (due to lots of platforms to manage already). A Pull request could help!

Yeah I noticed that on my old laptop, however I downloaded the 08 version from itch.io and works fine, the latest 09 won’t work at all.

For me it was crashing when I put DebugStop() and I press the stop button in the debug menu.  The stop button code is in view/DebugView.  I traced it to the line _console.WriteStdin( “q~n” ).  The back trace for that line is _console.WriteStdin -> ConsoleExt.WriteStdin -> Process.WriteStdin.  I found the WriteFile line is causing the reset in Process.WriteStdin.

How did you reproduce your problem?

I could have sworn I read in this forum that Monkey 2 is releasing on Steam, and the minimum requirement is Windows 7.  I could have read wrong though, it was a skim read.

I wouldn’t do a pull request.  It needs more testing.  It looks like a really easy change but it is at the core.  I don’t know what else is using Process class.  May be Mark put a zero there for a reason, I don’t know.  I haven’t test it on Windows 10 yet.

I got my Monkey 2 from Github and it is pull to the latest commit.  I compile mods and Ted2Go using the rebuild batch files in script directory. I wonder, it could be the library files I am using to compile with.

Just a warning.  I have been using Ted2Go with this fix, and it only crash once for me.  But when I look at my task manager I see alot of mx2cc and python.  If you do use the fix check your task manager.  So this causes other problem(s).
