Hello DISqlite3 list. May I ask your assistance? 1. PROBLEM 1 I have been using TDISQLite3MemIniFile. My applications have been crashing with EInvalidPointer errors and I'm becoming suspicious that these started when we switch to TDISQLite3MemIniFile from a regular TMemIniFile component. I was previously using DISQLite3 2.0.3 when i was getting that. These are quite rare but happen often enough on these long lived applications to cause serious trouble. Has anyone else experienced EInvalidPointer too? I dont get very useful debug information i think possibly because it crashes inside the C obj code. I noticed the error once recently in the debugger when i clicked apply to save some config settings through the TDISQLite3MemIniFile component. I suspect it happens on read operations too. 2. PROBLEM 2 So, because of the above problems I thought i'd update to the latest version of DISqlite3 but now i have crashes on the following during shutdown of my application... destructor TDISQLite3IniFileDb.Destroy; begin sqlite3_finalize(FStmtDeleteKey); sqlite3_finalize(FStmtEraseSection); // <<<---- this one causes an access violation in ntdll.RtlIntegerToUnicodeString according to my Delphi 7 debugger. Exception Class C00000005 with message 'access violation at 0x77168c39: write of address 0x00000014' The function TDISQLite3IniFileDb.EraseSection which has set up the FStmtEraseSection variable so it is initialised and is NOT nil. I would be grateful of your assistance. Many Thanks Jared _______________________________________________ Delphi Inspiration mailing list yunqa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx //www.freelists.org/list/yunqa
