dll Api client crashing only in release mode

[Stemen82]

Hi,

I have a problem in FM8: when I copy my client dll built in Debug mode into fminit\Plugins folders, the client works perfectly...but when I copy my client dll built in Release mode my client doesn't work, in particular it crashes when I open a modeless dialog (F_ApiModelessDialog) and FM shows me the following  message: "Internal error 8004, 6335581, 8468256, 0. FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must be quit".

Any suggestions?

Thanks to all,

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

What version of Visual C++ are you using and how familiar are you with workspace properties? In particular, I notice that VC++9 (Visual Studio 2008) and perhaps other versions make it very easy to set properties for one mode but not the other. More than once, I have made the mistake of setting important workspace properties for debug mode only (like that /section:.rsrc,w option required to make dialog boxes work). For stuff like that, you have to be sure to set the Configuration setting to All Configurations before making changes. I bet if you missed that setting for Release mode it could cause trouble.

Hi Russ,

thank you very much for your reply! I'm using VC++9 and my mistake is exactly the one described in your post: I had set the /section:.rsrc,w option only in Debug mode! Now I've set this option also in Release mode and my client works perfectly!

Thank you!l
