General discussions / Re: Download older versions, Pelles C v12 instant freeze upon Compile

« Last post by Yansi2 on February 23, 2024, 12:46:19 PM »

Oh how I was wrong about Pelles. Almost was thinking about sending a donation for a lunch or two for such a nice small footprint light IDE, but somebody decided to give me a permanent ban on this forum, probably because I dared to ask and point to a bug? No warning, no nothing, just get the fuck out.

Okay, so I will do. And will find a different project to support.
Bye.

BuildVer - I have guessed that may be the "increment build version" add-in ? ? ?
Y.

Yes it is.
Use the fixed version here.

Hello frankie,

thank you for the tip. I have tried disabling all add-ins. Compilation/build then works fine.
BuildVer - I have guessed that may be the "increment build version" add-in ? ? ? and re-enabled all except this one. Compilation/build still seems working.

I will look into the threads you have linked.
Thank you,
Y.

Open the IDE, from menu select Tools->customize.
Select the Addins tab, disable all.
Close and reopen the IDE and try to compile, if the problem is disappeared your problem is one of addins. Probably "BuildVer". See.. In that case replace BuildVer with the fixed version.

I told you exactly how to replicate the problem. It behaves the same on both my personal Win10 22H2 computer and work computer with Win10 21H2, which definitely has potential to have installed multiple interfering software packages, beginning from different group policy settings, up to corporate other monitoring and antivirus software. My personal computer is almost fresh install of Win10, so I seriously doubt it is a problem of other software interfering.

Content of the RC file is below, I see absolutely no issue there. It even compiles fine in an ancient version of Pelles C.

Code: [Select]

// RESOURCE SCRIPT generated by "Pelles C for Windows, version 12.00".

#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>
#include <richedit.h>
#include "resource.h"

LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH,SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

DLG_MAIN DIALOGEX DISCARDABLE 6, 18, 210, 142
STYLE DS_SHELLFONT|WS_POPUP|DS_MODALFRAME|DS_CONTEXTHELP|DS_3DLOOK|WS_CAPTION|WS_SYSMENU|WS_VISIBLE
CAPTION "Dialog"
FONT 8, "Tahoma", 0, 0, 1
{
  CONTROL "OK", IDOK, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 160, 5, 45, 15
  CONTROL "Cancel", IDCANCEL, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 160, 23, 45, 15
}
In the resource.h file, there is just the one expected #define:

Code: [Select]

#define DLG_MAIN  1001
I can only think of Pelles IDE could have possible trouble with the Windows OS being localized for different, than US/English. (Meaning, for example we do not use decimal point but comma instead, etc).

Hi Yansi,

Welcome to the forum. I tested your main.c with my version 10, no problems. You did not provide the resource file, though.

Hi Yansi,

Welcome to the forum. Could it be the case of an interfering software like an antivirus or Windows Defender?

To replicate the problem, just create a new Pelles Win32 project, and add any kind of resource, hit compile -> instant freeze. It seems not to be tied to a project in any specific way.

Start new Project, Win32 App
Add new source file, main.c
Enter the basic WinAPI stuff code as attached below into the main.c file
You can now compile and build as much and as many times as you want.
Add new resource file
Add for example new Dialog in it
Rename the Dialog as DLG_MAIN to create resource.h file (Here is likely first bug, as the name cannot be changed within the property inspector, must be changed in resource.rc file view?)
Save the resource.rc and resource.h files
Hit rebuild  ... and it is dead. Frozen, does not respond.

And if it happens to not freeze, it will freeze at the second attempt to compile or build.
