Best way to debug a "Runtime Error - abnormal termination" that takes HOURS to crash?
I have an application that all and all works well. I made some simple code changes (moved some lines out of a loop basically) and now the program has decided to crash. Obviously it has "something" to do with moving those lines and because there are not alot, it "should" be relatively easy to figure out what is happening... it is not.
The main problem is that the program runs typically for 6-12 hours doing some background stuff BEFORE it crashes with a: RUNTIME ERROR - ABNORMAL PROGRAM TERMINATION. I try to make some code changes to correct this, and have to wait, ANOTHER 6-12 hours to see if it is fixed. After over a week of playing this game, it is getting very very old and now I am down to the fact that it has to be something ELSE caused by these lines being moved... a variable overflow, a loop issue, a memory issue... something.
Because this doesn't happen in the IDE where I can watch all these variables and such and even see where it crashes.... I am now at a loss for the best way to debug this OUTSIDE of the IDE. Fortunately I have never run into this where the app crashes, on it's own, hours later so this is totally new to me.
Any all suggestions, tips, recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks....
