RE: [Fractdev] Fractint for Windows (beta 5)
Hi Richard, Just a silly thing. I got the message: "Error - not all memory released, I'll get it" when I tried to exit FRACTINT using the cross in the caption bar. What's the point of the message if you are going to release the memory anyway? The message was followed with: "Memory type memory still allocated. Handle = 5." Thanks, Paul. -----Original Message----- This is the current beta; beta 4 is no longer available. FractInt for Windows (Beta 5) <http://tinyurl.com/2wqa7r>

Hi Richard, I can't get FRACTINT to repeat the fault. This is annoying. What I remember is that I went to 800*600 and stayed in Mandelbrot. I zoomed in around -2, 0 a few times and then tried the colour cycling. I hit the numeric keys to see what the effect was on speed. I hit <ESC> to get out of colour cycling mode. It was after this that I exited and got the messages. But I can't repeat it as yet. I'll keep trying. I just wanted to capture the fault so it's not lost.

See if you have a fractint.dmp file and if so, email that directly to me. Otherwise, remember that with autokey you can create a log of whatever you are doing. You could always run with autokey enabled all the time and if it crashes, send me the autokey file. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
Hi Richard, There was no dump file, so it wasn't a crash and it looks like it was a valid trap within the program. Yes, Autokey is a great idea.

OK, if you try something and its the first time you've tried an integer fractal type that isn't supported, you get a message telling you this, but its only the first time you try it. Later, if you try that same integer fractal type again, you get a black screen. If you then switch to float, it should render properly. This is because some of the routines that implement integer fractal types are only in assembly and they haven't been migrated to the 32-bit world. Its 16-bit assembly, not 32-bit, so the assembly code can't be compiled 'as is', it has to be converted to 32-bit. However, in these cases, fractint should never crash. I will look into making it issue the warning all the time instead of the first time only to eliminate confusion when this happens. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
Rich,
Just a silly thing. I got the message: "Error - not all memory released, I'll get it" when I tried to exit FRACTINT using the cross in the caption bar.

This is indicative of one of the memory handles still being allocated when exiting Fractint. Jonathan
