Thread: [Dev-C++] Problem running .exe

Hi,
I have compiled a C source file using the Bloodshed devC++
(compilation takes place without any errors but a few warnings). On
running the code, after incomplete execution, the following message is
declared:
'<name>.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience.'

I can't figure out why the code doesn't execute completely. It might
be relevant that I am using Image Processing routines and thus, large
arrays (512*512, and 4 of them) are declared in the code. The code
stops executing before/during the step where i allocate memory using
'malloc' for the first 512*512 array (a pointer to a pointer is used a
2-d array).

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanx

If you don't have any compilation error, the code will compile.
But, maybe, you have an execution error. Then, in that part the program will close, because it doesn't understand that line.

I think you need use "debbuger" to see where the program is closing.

Either run with gdb - I prefer an external debugger to the integration
built into Dev-C++

Or write trace output to stderr, and see between which printout your
program dies.

Just note tha printf() doesn't work, since the output is buffered, so your
program can die with text lines pending in the buffer.

Hi,

Thanx Per and Kleber, for your advice. I used the gdb debugger and
found out that a segmentation violation was occurring when i tried to
reference a pointer used as a 1d array. On allocating memory using
malloc for this pointer before referencing it, the problem was removed
and the program executed to completion. There is some problem with the
result, but i guess that would be due to some logical error in the
code.
Anyways, thanks again for your suggestions.

Regards,
Piyush Goswami
