}Strange SDL error: Segmentation Fault
Author
Hi,
I'm working with SDL since nearly 3 days and I tried to move an image today.
When executing the code in VC++6, everything works fine. But when I execute the *.exe by myself (by double clicking on it ;)) SDL throws the following error:
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
When starting the exe out of the Visual Studio, it works fine.
Here is the code:
Quote:
temp = SDL_LoadBMP("airplane.bmp");
That's the problem right there. You aren't checking temp, if SDL_LoadBMP fails, it'll return NULL, and SDL_DisplayFormat will explode when you give it a null pointer.
This happened because when you runa project in visual studio, it starts out in the PROJECT directory, but the EXE is in PROJECT/Debug or PROJECT/Release.
If you just double click the EXE, it'll start in PROJECT/Debug or PROJECT/Release, so it won't find the BMP files (which must be in PROJECT if they are loaded correctly when you hit run)
Try moving the EXE into the same directory as the BMPs, and running it from there.
To handle the error correctly, try this:
EDIT: You're already doing that, at least for "screen" (your main Game Window)?
Same principle applies.

Hi,
thanks for your fast replies. Yes, screen is the main game window. Usually I check all loadings, but I thought it would run without checking in this small example. Thanks again.

Segmentation Fault errors usually happen when you're making reference to a pointer that wasn't initialized or isn't there anymore. Start up your debugging skill and find out where it is. Good luck!
