C++ Run Time Problem

Mar 8, 2011 at 11:20pm
Hi everyone,

My application compiles perfectly fine. I am using NetBeans IDE 6.8 and MinGW.
My application has been working until using a different set of input files. I don't think this is coding/implementation issue, it seems to be something else. I get the following message in the console:

"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

RUN FAILED (exit value 3, total time: 13s)"

My application does extensive read/write. Reads through roughly 200 text files and writes to a single file accumulating a size of roughly 200 MB. Is my program not getting enough memory to do its' job? Is there a way to allow more memory? I remember when I used to code in Java, there was a setting in NetBeans to allow more access to memory.

Thank you

We would still appreciate seeing your code and any files that might be causing problems. That's the best way to get a conclusion out of us. :)

And it would be nice if you ran the thing through your debugger - gdb in case of MinGW. Be sure you're compiling without any optimization.

Hmm, what confuses me is how this has worked for months with a smaller set of input files. The input files are identical in format but the new set of input files are much larger.

Is this message typical and does it appear if I'm using up too much memory / not freeing up pointers/memory correctly?
