Pre-Main() stack-overflow with SDL
Author
A'right. What the hell just happened?
A minute ago everything was all right on my shiny, well-progressing SDL project. Suddenly, even before the first line of code in the main() scope, I get an 'illegal action' windows thingy. If i try to debug the project, it says that I have a stack overflow.
I tried tracing back and returning to the state when everything worked fine, and the problem still occurs.
I tried that on two different computers, with VS6 and VS2003\VC++ 2003.
I can't find the source of the problem, and I don't even understand where does the stack overflow comes from.
Can somebody please help me? :(
It probably happens in the constructor of a global variable, since they are called before the main function is called. It might be in one of the sdl libraries, but I doubt that, it's most likely in one of your own global variables, so check them.
Are you using global variables? Are those variables classes, and do you call recursive functions during construction, or are you "just" creating a huge number of objects?

Here is the code of the whole main.cpp file.
GameEngine.Draw();
SDL_Delay(1000);
SDL_PollEvent(&event);
do
{
while(event.type!=SDL_KEYDOWN && event.type!=SDL_MOUSEMOTION)
SDL_PollEvent(&event);
GameEngine.ScrollMap(&event);
GameEngine.Draw();
event.type = 0;
}while(event.key.keysym.sym != SDLK_ESCAPE);
SDL_Delay(1000);
return 1;
}
FYI, everything in the main used to work until suddenly the god of war bumped into my pc, so don't try to search for the errors inside the scope. The overflow even hints it's outside of it.

There aren't any globals in this file. Is this the only file of your project? If not, you should look in the other files for global variables, try to remark them out, and see if you still get the error.

And then I sat there, wondering: "Jeez, I think they would also like to see what the hell 'GameCore.h' is?"

General.h and MapTile.h aren't the problem. They haven't been touched for over a month, so they're not the problem.
Also, could someone please explain to me what are those 'pragma' stuff? Someone told me to put them there just cause it helps to make stuff work. I would also like to know how does it make stuff work. Thanks! :)

MapTile *Map[2000][2000]; // The map tiles array.
MapTile *VisibleMap[300][300];
it's these lines. Those arrays will both be created on the stack, but they are way too big for that.
2000 * 2000 * sizeof(Map*) = 16MB, while the stack is only 1 MB by default. You will have to allocate the memory with new or use a std::vector or so.

Your Map array alone is about 16MB big, that's definitely to big for the stack. You should use new[]/delete[] to put on the heap.
And those #pragma's are sepcial compiler options.
#pragma comment(lib, "sdl.lib" ) i.e. tells VC++ to link your program with sdl.lib.

Are you sure you need a 3 dimensional array?
