It's been a while since I visited here, great to hear about FB 5.5 and FBS (minus the fact that I can't run it).
Anyway I wanted to ask if anybody has ever had one run of FinalBuilder with 10k actions, or maybe I'm holding a record here :) This includes some loops and some async groups.
Secondly I wanted bring up a problem I have when running many actions in one run. Sometimes I get an access violation in pdm.dll. This stops the run instantly, I usually restart FB and I run everything again. I'm attaching a screenshot with the error (the screenshot is old but I get it in avrage every 3 or 4 runs). Any help on this would be great.
We know of several users running builds with comparable amounts of actions, although you may be using the most XML actions. :-).
The crash you’re seeing is in a Microsoft Debugger DLL, which is used by the script debugger. I don’t know if that’s relevant or not. The build you’re using should have the option to disable the script debugger under Tools -> Options -> FinalBuilder -> Scripting. It’s possible this will avoid the crash.
If that doesn’t work, we’d really appreciate it if you get the chance to upgrade to the latest build and see if the problem still occurs. There shouldn’t be any behavioural changes between 5.0 and 5.5.
I have a build that regularly does about 13,000 actions. Most of that is caused by parsing a file line by line, and doing something for each line. Yes, I have written an interpreter in FB5…
I wouldn’t be afraid of upgrading - the FB guys are very careful to make sure changes are backwardly compatible. I don’t recall having any issues, and I upgrade very frequently.
