[comp.windows.news] Flat exc query

pjd@demon.siemens.com (dr. funk) (11/27/90)

I'm curently bringing up some code under OW 2.0 that was
originally developed using the Beta release of OW and OLIT.
My program is using flat exclusives and I am receiving
the error (via dbx):
  program terminated by signal BUS (alignment error)
  `FExclusive`DrawItem() at 0xf77332bc
  ...
I made sure that all of my items are XtArgVal's and that
the values match the resource names. I double checked which
libraries are being loaded, etc. The executable created
with the Beta release runs fine on OW 2.0.

Can anyone give a list of changes WRT flat exclusives from
the Beta release to release 2.0? Thanks, as they say,
in advance. [BTW, the unit_test1 for flat exclusives also
fails in the same way and also as an "unreachable statement"
warning during compilation! This latter error could be a
local sin -- not one to blame Sun first :-)]

To the kind soul from Sun engineering who replied to my message
about flat exclusives (and related problems), please resend. I just
suffered a catastrophe :-)
