"Invalid pointer operation" when closing application
Hello. I use Borland C++ 6.0 and I have written an appliaction that gets some web pages' contents and displays some of it (Using FastNet). When I cloase the application (having threee forms) I get an EInvalidPointer exception with message : "Invalid pointer operation" and debugger stops at 397th line in Forms.hpp which stands like this :
Could you help me to solve this problem, please? Thank all of you in advance.Code:inline __fastcall virtual ~TForm(void) { }
It's pretty safe to say that the pointer got mangled a long time ago on another line, and this is merely where you get to notice.
Without the rest of the code, it's pure guess-work.
I'll guess line 42
You could try disabling various bits of functionality, but if it works it means 2 things
- you managed to hide the problem in another way
- the commented out code is the real cause of the problem.
Really, you need tools like bounds checker or purify to find random pointer abuse in a large application.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Thankee sai. I shall try those tools.
