    Question Differance between de-bugger and release versions

    I have an error in the release version of my program which occurs each time I do something, yet in de-bug mode it never does it. Any tips or hints?

    There's obviously some debug specific code that is either fixing or covering up the problem, find out where it is in the release code and then see if you can figure out what part of the debug code is stopping it from happening.

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    What compiler are you using. MS-Visual c++ has known problems with using de-bug. So does Borland which is what I use.
    Check out their website and see if you can find anything.
    Try to help all less knowledgeable than yourself, within
    the limits provided by time, complexity and tolerance.

    It's generated by the compiler, not you

    Basically, all the code and data is arranged in a sightly different manner (but with the same functionality).

    Somewhere in these invisible gaps, the bug can be found - as Prelude says, the problem is being masked.

    Now I understand why it's differant. I'll double check everything to see if I can get this problem.

    What compiler are you using.
    I use Microsoft VC++ for programming.
