Suggestions for deducing Girder lockup?

[Ron]

Hi Jon,

Welcome to the girder message board! I'm glad Girder is fitting your needs. Girder is written in Delphi ( yeah yeah flame me :wink: ) So i'm not sure how to give you debug sources. If you know how to do this let me know i'd be more then happy to find this little bug with your help.

Maybe the eventlogger that Mark wrote can give some preliminary info...

OK, first of all, since this is my first post, I have to say I am very impressed with Girder! I have been using a HTPC for about 3 years now and had developed my own 'girder' over the years but was starting to get tired of adding new support. I had no idea the flexible architecture of Girder was out there...well done.

Now that I have a Girder setup, I am trying to debug a lockup which will occur after Girder has been running for a day or so. In all cases, the lockup leaves all running except Girder, which has the systray icon 'lit up', as if the lockup occurred while executing a command.

Since as a SW engineer I realize there are about 1 million variables at play here, I am looking for some insight on how I can debug this further.

Are there debug sources available for Girder? I could use SoftIce, etc., to track this down.

FWIW, my setup is WinXP, and I am using the IrMan, DVDSpy, Generic Serial plugins. I have a gut feeling that the lockups are occurring in the most-used state, which is an event/action setup which takes events from DVDSpy and uses the generic Serial plugin to send them to a VFD display.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Wow,

I actually do a lot of programming in Delphi, too (including my HTPC stuff). Its just the fastest way to get something done...

Short of handing me the code and having me run it straight from Delphi's debugger, I don't know of a straightforward way, either. Also, I have yet to use the Delhi debugger in XP...
