Hi, I really had some bad luck today. When starting Lazarus it worked normally first. Then I created a new unit, saved it having an appropriate name, typed in a class definition without any fields or methods and Hit CTRL-F9. That was the moment when my computer freezed for a while, say 30 seconds, and rebooted.
Afterwards Lazarus' configuration was hosed, the open projects .lpi was unreadable, .lpi.bak, .lpr and .lpr.bak were zero length. The file system had a lot of errors. I think the crash could be triggered by the fact that I have a new, freshly cleaned and compiled Lazarus 1.4.4 and fpc 3.0.0 because I had to upgrade the compiler lastly for some reason. The projects object files may be new or old, but some other dependencies will relatively sure be old files from fpc 2.6.4. OK, shit happens, but I wished there would be less destruciton in work files. It is possible to care for keeping files, I know since I had to program a system prone to spontaneous reboots to keep files under any circumstances and in the end it worked. I had sth. similar once when running the debugger quite often and having to stop in the middle of the program for a source change. That made my computer fail similarly, destroying files. Where in Lazarus sources are the spots handling file opening and saving when hitting CTRL-F9? Or do I need to look at the compiler, too? And, maybe someone having enough knowledge can explain a bit aournd these spot?
