I'm embedding a Python interpreter into a project, and compiling with MSVC. It all runs great in the "Debug" configuration, but everything gets scary when I switch to "Release".
I've read about things that can go wrong when you use the wrong runtime library when compiling a program that uses Python. I've done my best to follow the suggestions I've read, but I still seem to be having trouble. Here's a summary of how I've configured my project: Release: ======== - C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime Library: Multithreaded DLL - Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies: ... python24.lib - Output EXE runs beside Python24.dll Debug: ====== - C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime Library: Multithreaded Debug DLL - Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies: ... python24_d.lib - Output EXE runs beside Python24_d.dll The debug configuration works flawlessly. Release is another story altogther. It usually crashes with a segmentation fault or access violation (reading memory address 0). At one point it ran, but the code seemed to be executing in the wrong order (stuff getting called before initialization functions were finished, etc.) -- Peter Newman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
