Cause of a Win32 error

[CDdotdot47]

If when I run a compiled C program, and I receive a Win32 error...what would cause that and where should i be looking in my code to correct that?

memory allocation? sizes?

thanks

Actually it's an "unhandled Win32 Exception" that occured...

Care to refine your description a bit? Win32 is the Windows 32-bit API, and there's a lot of stuff that can happen in that regard.

It's actually an Exception...

Most probably cause: dereferencing a bad pointer.
Use a debugger.

well i'm using CodeBlocks to write and build by C code, and it compiled without issue...however when i executed it, i received the Win32 exception.
Could you recommend a good debugger that is free, i do have Microsoft Visual Studio I could use...

The problem is you're running Windows.

If you installed a certain bundle, CodeBlocks would have the gdb debugger integrated.

You could, but that would be a different IDE and a different compiler.
