stack overflow problem

[Misha]

Yes, hi, I am trying to make my script run forever, basicly so it wont overflow after a day or 2, is there anyway I could find where does it overflow?Also my script is around 10k lines so I can't really post it.

By 'overflow' do you mean you get a stack overflow error?

Without any code top look at we can only guess. The first thing to do is to look at the help file, Appendix, AutoIt limits/defaults.

The most common reason I have had stack overflow problems is to do with recursion.

1) a recursive function calling itself too many times.

2) Function A calling Function B which calls Function A (maybe indirectly) when a certain condition occurs, which is really the same as 1).

If you don't know which function is causing the problem you could create a log so that every time a function is called you write to the log.

I see, you are correct stack overflow error, so I said in the title to note.

I look cearfully and I couldnt see perhaps function a calling b calling c calling d calling a or something like that...

Oh yes, sorry.

OK. Well I would expect that there is some loop somewhere which is causing the problem. Can you try adding a log, or if you run it from Scite then add some consolewrite lines. I tried console write with a function calling itself and you get a nice error display saying that recursive level exceeded, quitting to prevent stack overflow.

Well yes I fixed it, seems I have like 12 of those all over the script, thanks alot ;.

Hello gentelmen, I have this problem still yet because the code is 12k lines and its impossible to find it the error specially since I got people telling me that they get errors like after 2 weeks so I am thinking is there like a Try function in autoit or perhaps something that will stop that error from appearing on an event like this stack overflow error.

Without the code, no one can answer your question... no need to bump if you are not going to provide it.

Edit:

And yes, I read how many lines it was... but I'm sure someone here would look at it for you.

Make option to turn ON logging every @scriptline activity to LOG file.

On problematic machines TURN ON this option (for example defined in INI file).

When program crashes then take LOG file and analyze what happend.
