Well, I just installed the new version of Laser C and the
C Source Debugger. I think I have encountered a horrific
error, but I would like to check with you folks, first.
I make a call to rsrc_load() and give it the *complete* path
of the location of the resource file. When I run the
program, the drive A light comes on (weird enough as it
is, considering the resource file is on the hard disk), and the
program gets a 68000 exception error. When I return to the
desktop, *all* occurrances of my resource file *wherever they
exist on the hard disk* are gone. In addition, any file that
begins with the filename prefix that my resource file had are
gone also.
For instance, in my working directory, I had:
FRED.RSC
FRED.H (the include for the resource)
FRED.C (the C version of the RSC)
In a subdirectory, I duplicated these files for backup purposes.
My program gets to
rsrc_load("d:\workshop\fred.rsc");
I get the exception error, and when I come back, all files
that match FRED.* are gone from the hard disk.
Now, either I've hit some strange combination of code that
does a seek and destroy mission on the FAT, or I've been sipping
too much herbal tea while debugging.
Anyone out there encounter anything remotely like this?
