quick ?

 

Why the hell does my dev-c++  crash with exception c0000005 for any 

memcpy

memset

memove

 

Rootkit??

 

ridiculous!

Use Codeblocks or Codelite instead.

After careful observations.. fig'd out that including the following as linker options:

 

-lwinmm -lgdi32 -lws2_32 -lpsapi -masm=intel -lcomctl32 -DWIN32 -D_WIN32_IE=0x600 -D_MSC_VER=1100 -liphlpapi -lPSAPI -lwsock32

 

is all well.. with memcpy, zeromemory, memset, memmove  (memcmp  always works no matter what)

 

but the above API will throw that c0000005 access violation upon compiling if you include 

-lntoskrnl

 

 

test it:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main()

{

  // define two arrays u, v and initialize u

  int u[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, v[5];

  // copy u to v

  memcpy(v, u, 5*sizeof(int));

  // display v

  for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)

    printf("v[%d] = %d\n", i, v[i]);

 getchar();

  return 0;

}

add -lntoskrnl and it will error out.. otherwise it compiles/runs fine

 

 

 

 

removing the -lntoskrnl

CPU - main thread, module ZMemSee

you're not the first to say that.. thats for sure.. can i run em off usb like i do Dev-C++

Dev-C++ is extremely outdated and uses a very old version of MingW as its compiler. If you have issues with it, its probably due to its age.

You could try updating to a newer version of MinGW and have Dev-C++ use that instead.

 

You are better off looking for a better/newer IDE and compiler though, since the one you are using is really outdated and unsupported now.

 

My personal favorite is Visual Studio. I use 2013. (This is my opinion, and not a must, you are free to use whatever you want.)

you should try...

Thnx, I'll grab both portables (though 64 bit version will be for "just in case scenario")

I'll let ya know, since dev-c++ mirrors broke I haven't searched for more up to date ...

I would personally recommend the Visual Studio also. I used to use lcc, but had problems with it.

The IDE ain't so bad either especially with the Visual Assist.

hey dont get me wrong; i enjoy using the Visual Studio C++ and C# stuff from MCSFT... I really do... The IDE makes it easy.. but the download install time is out of control for some of these IDE..  when i can use command line compiling for C# and use a free small portable C++ IDE... 

 

besides years of doing ASM with TASM32 and C++ with Dev-C (even ASM a lil with Dev-C) , some habits die hard
