Hi, Recently, I let VS2005 convert the msvc7 project to vs8. No problem at all! However, when I tried the tutorial example I got an asEXECUTION_EXCEPTION. This happens when the script uses Print(). I guess this is due to the new VS2005 compiler or that I've missed something in my configuration. Any thoughts about this issue would be appreciated. Regards, topcatse

Sorry for not providing that information. I used 2.5.0a on Win2K.

In my conversion I had not a problem. I've not tried the examples though, but the engine works for my scripts.

I'm using VS2005 as well, and it compiles alright.

OK, I'm glad to hear that it works for you guys!

Unfortunatly, I'm still having the same problem. It's interesting that when I switched back to 2.4.1d the tutorial worked fine but not with 2.5.0a. I will try 2.5.0a on WinXP now to see if I experience the same problem.

Here's some information from a debug session of the tutorial sample if some is interested.

The exception is generated in asCContext::ExecuteNext(), row 2130:
case BC_ChkNullV:
{
// TODO: Pointer size
asDWORD *a = *(asDWORD**)(l_fp - SWORDARG0(l_bc));
if( *a == 0 )
{
byteCode = l_bc;
stackPointer = l_sp;
stackFramePointer = l_fp;

SetInternalException(TXT_NULL_POINTER_ACCESS);
return;
}
}
