Hi,
I have a problem that has been bugging me lately
I am working on a rather large database application on the Amiga in Manx C.
It has lots of variables and lots of routines, etc. etc.
I find that some of my variables get changed arbitrarily
for example I have a loop that counts from 0 to fieldlength, where
fieldlength is a global generally 12. What happens is it counts
from 0 to 10 and then from 1 to 10 over and over again for ever.
This problem crops up in different places at different times, and can be
removed by adding or removing a line of code, (but then it sometimes goes
else where).
The problem is not limited to variables either, sometimes it forgets where a
routine is and jumps to the wrong location. I have noticed this problem on
several programs, including a couple at work.
I have also noticed that SDB has troubles with large programs and sometimes
gurus on random routine calls.
I have also tried the +c and +d compile options to no avail
So what am I doing wrong?
Does anybody know what is going on?
How do I fix it?
I am using Manx 3.60a
Amiga 2000, with 5 meg, a2090 card and 20 meg generic drive
I also work in interlace mode.
Thanks Very Much
