ReportPro 3.60 for XSharp 2.60 memory exception

[Michal Rajnoha]

Hi Michal,

Thanks for the very good sample, but unfortunately I could not reproduce the problem here, all 65 pages are always printed ok here. Does the problem happen with any printer driver? Even when selecting a pdf driver, like PDF creator or Microsoft's print to pdf driver from Windows? To be honest that's what I used as well, wanted to avoid wasting 65 pages of paper..

Yes, tried it with both virtual (Microsoft's Print to PDF) and physical printers and the problem occurs regardless of which one is used. What bothers me now is why I can't make it crash in XIDE in Debug mode.

Memory corruption issues can be like that, when running through the debugger some memory locations may be different, preventing the underlying problem to expose itself. What OS are you using and what is the .Net Framework version installed? Also since I don't have your email address, can you please send me a short email and I will send you a link to a set of slightly newer RP3 files, they might make a difference as we fixed another issue that could be related recently.

We tried it on Windows 11 and Windows 10.
2 PCs where X# is installed and 1 with only redistributables. All have the same issue.
The latest version of .NET Framework we use is 4.8.1.

I will send the email soon.

Greetings,

We observe the exact same problem. It turns out that printing through the cPrinter class crashes with memory errors whenever we compile Classmate with the "Build/Optimize" flag. It only happens when using the printer DC, print preview is not affected. Disabling Optimize in Release builds (or using Debug builds) stops the crashes.

Is this a compiler bug or a Classmate bug? Is there a known fix?

I am afraid that building without the optimize flag is the only solution for now, that fixed the problem Michal reported, too. Unfortunately so far we haven't been able to reproduce the problem locally, so it is very difficult to find what's causing it.

[xor_ag]

a set of slightly newer RP3 files, they might make a difference as we fixed another issue that could be related recently.

Hi Chris,

do these have changes within Classmate Gui? Maybe we should try that fix?

This didn't fix Michal's problem unfortunately, but it's still worth a try. Please open the file \Classmate, Gui\Printer\Printer, Printer.prg

and change the code in METHOD _PrintDoc() from

Code: Select all

LOCAL dAbort							AS _AbortProc32Delegate
LOCAL pAbort							AS IntPtr

dAbort := _AbortProc32Delegate{ NULL, @_AbortProc32() }
pAbort := Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate( (System.Delegate) dAbort )

to

Code: Select all

STATIC LOCAL dAbort := _AbortProc32Delegate{ NULL, @_AbortProc32() }							AS _AbortProc32Delegate
STATIC LOCAL pAbort := Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate( (System.Delegate) dAbort )		AS IntPtr

This keeps the values in the locals always alive and prevents the garbage collector from collecting them, which was causing some other issues.
