Re: FTC beta 15 preview 24

I compiled under 2008r2. So, it's happening under 2008r2.

Thanks,
John

Running the latest build also.


I am working with Yoann and he is getting the same error (he is
using 2007r5). I wrote him and asked him to test with the FTC with
certain configurations and I am waiting for him to respond.

I am not seeing this error and the reason I believe this the case
is because I think you guys are running on old releases of RB that
have the redim problem. In a previous release of the FTC I had a
workaround for the redim problem but after further investigation
the  workaround fails on Mac x86 platforms. So I had to drop the
workaround and wait for RS to fix the problem which they did in
2008r2. I am not sure how far back the redim problem goes, but it
looks like the only solution is to upgrade to 2008r2. What I am
waiting on Yoann (or anybody else) is to confirm that the problem
goes away when you compile with 2008r2 in your specific
application. I know it does go away with the demo application.

My official policy is to support the current release and one
release back. Currently that would be 2008r1 and r2. Since there
is no workaround for the corruption caused by the redim problem,
this forces me to say at this time that only 2008r2 and beyond are
supported. Based on the fact you are using 2006r2 says to me that
the redim problem goes a long ways back. It could be that there
are other problems at play in the older releases, but what you
guys need is a solution and for now that solution is to use
2008r2. That is why I want to see confirmation from others so I
can tell you with confidence that this will do the trick for you.
If it doesn't work for you in 2008r2 and it does work for me, then
I have a head scratcher and we will proceed from there.

The redim problem is a really nasty problem that can have real
subtle and hard to debug side affects. To me, that is enough
motivation to be on a release that is free from that defect.
