I don't want to have to install a Java interpreter and then run my program through the interpreter. I'd rather just be able to click on an EXE file and it will start up.

I'm not sure about the size of the bytecode interpreter, but what might be cool is to in the future attach the interpreter to the bytecode in such a way that basically running the EXE runs the interpreter to load the attached bytecode and run it.

Enough blabbering.

I have a class defined as follows:

class ... {
public:
....
private:
struct ... myStructs[100];
}

Ok, now, I initialize the variables in another function.

void ...::Initialize() {
int i;
for (i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
myStructs.member1 = 0;<BR> myStructs.member2 = 0;<BR> }<BR>}<P>Ok, here's where it really screws up: When the program quits, it tells me "HEAP[GameTest.exe]: Heap block at 008C6F20 modified at 008C7558 past requested size of 630"<P>Now, I've found 2 ways to fix this: One is to increase the array size by 1, and NEVER touch that last entry. The second is to not touch the "member2" member of the structure. Either one will avoid the heap overflow.<P>I have encountered variations of this problem before in Visual C++. Even without structures, with simple int arrays. <P>WTF is going on?!?!?!?! Is Visual C++ not allocating enough space for scoped arrays??<P>I can avoid it for now with the additional element at the end of the array, but I would REALLY REALLY REALLY like to know why this is happening to me.<P>- Splat<p>[This message has been edited by Splat (edited October 26, 1999).]

Lastly, anyone interested in fast Java VMs should check out Sun's Hotspot VM. It figures out which part of your code should be compiled and which should be interpreted at runtime.
