Re: Frustrating bug in C++ program (Code for GUTTED testing version of main program now available)

Alright. I've just prepared a "gutted" version of the program
for which I can release the source code to, that contains the
bug. It's as stripped as I could get it, and it should compile
with any good Windows-supporting C++ compiler. I use Borland
C++ Builder, by the way, to compile it. You'll also need
Microsoft's DirectX SDK 9 to compile as well. Note: Since this
is gutted, you may notice references/prototypes of functions
that don't exist, etc. None of those get called, but I may
not have gotten all that out. Just an FYI. This IS a
testing/debugging package only, after all. I just
gutted the full complicated Fracgen3D program I told
you about to get your "minimal example" you wanted
as easily as I could (gutting seemed like the easiest
way to preserve the bug without lots of trial and error.).

To compile it just extract the zip to a directory.
After that go and tell the compiler to build and
link all the different C++ modules (and the resource
file fracgen3d.rc.). The MP package is included in this
package as well for convenience reasons.

Once compiled it should pop up a window. Click the "File"
menu, then "New", and you'll see a funny little message
box (this is a debug indicator I put in to check where
the program's at.). Clicking OK should cause a crash --
that's the bug. When the bug is not there, a second
message box should appear and after that a blank window
will pop up in the main one.

I've tried to gut as much as I could, but still wanted
to preverse a rough idea of the structure to aid in the
debug process.

Again, it's released under the same "license agreement"
as the MP code and will be taken down once debugging has
been complete.
