#Think C 5.0 -> 6.0?
2 messages in this thread
I've left this same message once before… I'm wondering if anyone ever
received it?
I've been using Think C 5.0 for some time, but with many problems. First, I
get ZREF Errors all of the time. As a result, I have to remove all of the
object from my project and start over. This get to be pretty annoying when I
am working on large applications…
The other problem which I found (and reported to Symantech) was that the
debugger crashed (taking data and files with it) whenever you tried to view a
non-pointer based structure larger than 32k.
Have these problems been addressed in C 6.0. I'm running on a IIci with system
7.0 and plenty of memory.

Matthew,
It's quite possible that you got replies (I'm fairly sure I replied to you, for
example), but you didn't come back into the forum before the replies scrolled
off. Don't forget, too, that you might want to fetch this entire thread, not
just look at messages waiting for you.
The ZREF errors have been reduced, I hear (I never encountered that error
personally), with THINK C 6.0, but you can still get them if your code corrupts
the project file. Some further details are in the August issue of MacTech
magazine, in the "Symantec Frequently Asked Questions" section. (My
compliments to MacTech & Symantec for doing that, by the way.)
I can't speak for the debugger crashes, as I never have heard of that error,
nor have I encountered it.
If nothing else, make sure you're at C 5.0.4 (I believe that was the last 5.0.x
version); an updater is in library 2.
