Allegro Issues

[Matt Cromer]

Trying to play with allegro, and it is giving me errors with my debug. Any tips?

Are you sure you're getting errors? With the exception of the ALLEGRO_TEST.exe returning a 3, I don't really see anything that may be wrong. I don't even see the word "error" in there.

[coder777]

You mean 'Cannot find or open the PDB file'? That's no error. It tells you that the debugging informations are not found. Not really a problem

My program always crashes when I run it... I would post my whole source code but it is rather large.

But even if I empty main and just run this:

//INCLUDES
#include <allegro.h>
//GLOBALS
const int scrx = 640;
const int scry = 480;
BITMAP *buffer = create_bitmap(640,480);
//CLASSES
//#include "ball.h"
//#include "timer.h"
//ALLEGRO INIT
void AllegroInit ()
{

		if (allegro_init()) 
	{
		allegro_message("Cannot initalize Allegro.\n");
	}

	if (install_keyboard()) 
	{
		allegro_message("Cannot initalize keyboard input.\n");
	}

	if (install_timer())
	{
		allegro_message("Cannot initialize timer. \n");
	}

	set_window_title("Hello World");

	//GRAPHICS MODE TRYING ALL DEPTHS
  set_color_depth(32);
  if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, scrx, scry, 0, 0)) {
    set_color_depth(24);
    if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, scrx, scry, 0, 0)) {
      set_color_depth(16);
      if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, scrx, scry, 0, 0)) {
        set_color_depth(15);
        if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, scrx, scry, 0, 0)) {
          allegro_message("Video Error: %s.\n", allegro_error);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}




int main(int argc, char* argv[]) 
{

AllegroInit();

//set buffer to black
floodfill(buffer, 0, 0, makecol(0,0,0));


		//textprintf(buffer,font,scrx/2,scry/2,makecol(255,255,255),"X: %4i",ball_x_position);
		//textprintf(buffer,font,(scrx/2),(scry/2)+20,makecol(255,255,255),"Y: %4i",ball_y_position);
		//textprintf(buffer,font,scrx/2,(scry/2)+40,makecol(255,255,255),"DownSpeed: %4i",ball_downspeed);


return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN()

it gives me an error saying:

Debug Error!
R6010
- abort() has been called

(Press retry to debug the application)

Also, it points to my bitmap creation, so maybe that has something to do with it.


So I guess the main problem is that since the debug symbols aren't loading, I can't figure out whats wrong with my code.. so I need to figure out how to load the PDB first and foremost so that I can debug.

[Matt Cromer]

Okay so I figured out that the error was caused by me initializing the bitmap pointer outside of main.

I still need to know how to fix my debugger so it can tell me when I make stupid mistakes instead of spending a whole damn hour on it like I just did.

Thanks

That's Allegro 4, which is deprecated. If you wanna use Allegro, use Allegro 5.

Okay thanks
