jroach <jro...@internode.on.net> added the comment: Brian, I am an engineer who makes significant use of Python, not a computer professional. I hope that I communicate the right information. The operating system is Windows XP Professional. The problem encountered was that a python program invoking cvxopt, that ran perfectly well with Python25, crashed with Python26 and (without request) generated a response from Visual Studio to the effect that python.exe encountered an access violation writing location 0x9b0b80c8. (The full message was 'Unhandled exception at 0x01de5607 in python.exe:0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x9b0b80c8. The c-code segment displayed by the debugger was (file: crt0dat.c): /* * walk the table of function pointers from the bottom up, until * the end is encountered. Do not skip the first entry. The initial * value of pfbegin points to the first valid entry. Do not try to * execute what pfend points to. Only entries before pfend are valid. */ while ( pfbegin < pfend ) { /* * if current table entry is non-NULL, call thru it. */ if ( *pfbegin != NULL ) (**pfbegin)(); ++pfbegin; } }
/*** * static int _initterm_e(_PIFV * pfbegin, _PIFV * pfend) - call entries in * function pointer table, return error code on any failure * *Purpose: * Walk a table of function pointers in the same way as _initterm, but * here the functions return an error code. If an error is returned, it * will be a nonzero value equal to one of the _RT_* codes. * *Entry: The call stack line was: > msvcr90.dll!_initterm(void (void)* * pfbegin=0x00000002, void (void)* * pfend=0x00993148) Line 903 C I do not have the necessary knowledge to interpret these data. This Python26 problem occurs with every execution under both Idle and Editra. jroach > _______________________________________ > Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> > <http://bugs.python.org/issue8849> > _______________________________________ > > ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8849> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
