Is anyone out there having problems with the Lattice 5.02 CPR? I can't do
anything useful with it becouse it keeps crashing, sometimes back to
KickStart (I have 1.3). I have come across two situations that
consistently cause GURUs.
1) an OpenScreen() call. In three separate programs, CPR gurus when
OpenScreen() is called. I am NOT stepping into functions or reslibs.
I even set breakpoints AFTER the call so I am in do danger of sttopping
in the call and it still crashes (usually with a Guru #3). I have tried
prototypes and no prototypes, registerized params, and standard params,
and all 5 debugging levels.
2) any real from stdin. Whether I step or 'go', I crash as soons as
I hit any read from stdin. Again, I've tried everything. This has
happened in 5 different programs, including a simple program that
only has a scanf() in it.
3) CPR seems to randomly crash when starting up. It will tell me how
many modules, functions, and symbols there are, the put up its screen,
showing only source. Then it will die. I can move the mouse, open
menus, activate different windows, but the program will ignore everything.
The rest of the machine keeps running, though a guru happens after a short
time - this susually blows me back to KickStart.
Any enlightenment out there?
Also, how do you make and use precompiled header files with Lattice 5.02 ?
As usual, all comments appreciated.

Did you have similar problems with version 5.00? I haven't received the upgrade to 5.02 yet. I haven't had the problems you reported with 5.00. I wonder if something broke in 5.02 or if you've been experiencing these problems all along. --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...uunet!pdn!jc3b21!fgd3

Sure enough - when I went back to the unpatched CPR (CPR 1.0), all the problems I had went away. So, considering that Lattice forgot to include lcmsr.lib in the patch, and I have found 3 errors in the header files, and now this, the question arises: when will Lattice patch the patch?

Since I started this chain, I may as well finish it. After getting a friend to post this to BIX, I received the suggestion, "increase stack space." AHA! I keep forgetting to think about stack space when Bad Things happen. I raised it to 20000 from 10000 and the problems went away. I don't even want to think of the hours I spent rebooting and rebooting and rebooting [thank God for bootable RAD:, except when the guru took me to KS]. So, if you've been having trouble with CPR 1.02, try increasing the stack. If you still have problems, please tell me, so I don't beat my brains out again when I run across them. Thanks!
