@EXECSTR ... TCSTART ... something's wrong!

[vefatica]

Here's TCC27's TCSTART and a pretty simple BTM.

v:\> type d:\tc27\TCSTART.BTM
IF "%_PIPE %_TRANSIENT" != "0 0" QUIT

v:\> type test.btm
echo foo

If I do this (below) repeatedly, TCC27 will crash, usually on the second try.

v:\> echo %@execstr[test.btm]
foo

v:\> echo %@execstr[test.btm]

CRASH!

If I start TCC27 with no TCSTART (/is) I can execute echo %@execstr[test.btm] any number of times without a crash.

The same thing happens with an empty TCSTART.

v:\> echo %@execstr[test.btm]
foo

v:\> echo %@execstr[test.btm]
foo

v:\> echo %@execstr[test.btm]
foo

v:\> echo %@execstr[test.btm]
foo

v:\> type d:\tc27\TCSTART.BTM


v:\> d:\tc27\TCSTART.BTM

v:\> echo %@execstr[test.btm]
foo

CRASH!

It has nothing to do with TCSTART. Run any BTM. And then echo %@execstr[some.btm] a few times (any BTM). TCC27 will crash.

TCC v24, v25. v26 do not behave this way

some times it works some times not. some v27 functions & commands that run and cause errors

(tcstart.bat)
PROCESSMONITOR sketchup_webhelper.exe STARTED FOREVER tasklist /zu sketchup_webhelper.exe

It says its killled the process but actually hasn't

When it happens, Reliability Monitor has this to say (it comes straight out of the Application event log).

Fixed in build 24. (New RTL / STL combo bug.)

But I can't imagine any reason to actually *need* to execute a batch file in @EXECSTR ...

I was experimanting with implementing multi-line UDFs. I never got back to that ... sidetracked trying to figure out the crash. The error code was about heap corruption. I thought maybe compiler or library error.

I did that repeatedly before switching to POSIX scripts.
Write a short code that build the string you need (f.e. fetch IP address from checkip.dyndns.org), and return it in @EXECSTR.
