Function calls are more complicated than that. Its not just an Inst pointer. Calling almost any win32 API will result in a ring transition from user mode to kernel mode all the way down to an NTdll.dll call.
I am not qualified to help you but I am curious. What compiler and IDE are u using? VS Net? Are u using that usermode debugger? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 7:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Weird missing dll error Well This problem never really went away. If I put the dll in I would get a deadlock, if I took it out I would get a missing dll file every time stepped thu this one function line by line. The function was in the server's dll file so I don't understand why I wanted another dll file that I never linked to. I thought a function call was just moving the instruction pointer to somewhere else in your code in memory. Anyway I started to do some memory leak checks because I ran out of ideas and I found a pretty big block of memory not being freed. I traced it and found it out it was from world.cpp at this ine: WorldGraph.AllocNodes (); I compiled the stock 2.3 sdk and checked it and there was no leak there. So I was wondering why mine was leaking? Well apparently when I switched from 2.X to 2.3(big pain in the ass) I forgot the remove the nodes.cpp file and add the mpstubb.cpp file into my project. I'm not sure if that was an actually memory leak, but I guess its worth asking if that could have been a problem but I'm almost sure that memory was not being deleted. and the block# kept changing every time I would restart the level. Anyway, thx for the help valve. Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > Almost at random times during a game this pops up and the server > crashes.
