Here is a dumb question. I've yet to code in HL . Does HL engine or mod code depend on msvcr70.dll ?
What is the dependency chain? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 3:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] huge debug problem Its "msvcr70". I just typed it wrong. I really dont understand this at all. I have been debugging my mod for 2 years with no problems but no all of a sudden the bottom feel out. I can't even debug default half-life sdk (2.0, 2.2 nor 2.3) anymore. I mean i tried simple things like deferencing a null pointer or deleting a simple int *x=new int; three times in a row to create a delete error. That simply produced an ASSERT with nothing pointing back to the code. But there is nothing I can do to get v.s. to bounce me back to the source code at the line of the error. I realize not all crash/errors do this, but simple errors should. How can I deal with hundrends of thousads of lines of code when I dont even know where the crash occured? I have gone to the extreme and even created a dumpfile and placed about 100 or 200 #ifdef DUMPFILE's all over my code to output to a file. At least that way i know what the last function was when my mod crashed. As stupid as that sounds its about the best way i can debug. It sort of reminds me of when i used to make half-life maps. Worldcraft had such shitty leak detection (its much better now, props to valve) I had to make a huge brush and cover 50% of the map. Then i would know what side of the map the leak was on. I continuted to do this until I cut the leak down to a small block where I can take a closer look. I would rather not do that with the SDK. I dont know why a pPlayer=NULL; pPlayer->IsAlive(); would cause that dll error opposed to an access violation 0xC0000005 or whatever it its supposed to be and dump me to the line in the code where it occured like it used to do a few months ago. And in case you did not follow my whole story. Only hte hl sdk behaves like this, I have just formatted and tried but vs 6.0 and .net with the same result. Quoting "K.
