[Solved] What means Runtime error 216?

[Hartmut]

Sometimes I get only a message like:

Code: [Select]

Runtime error 216 at $00404E9A
  $00404E9A
  $00408221
I'm looking for a list of all the runtime-error-messages. I didn't find anything in the documentation. SysErrorMessage() has nothing with 216. Has anybody a link for me to all the runtime-error-messages? Thanks in advance.

From the FPC User's Guide,

216 General Protection fault
 The application tried to access invalid memory space. This can be caused by several problems:

 Dereferencing a nil pointer.

Trying to access memory which is out of bounds (for example, calling move with an invalid length).

There should be a copy on your machine. If not, a quick Google will find you a download location.

The bit of the FPC Users Guide you need is online here:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/userap4.html#x189-196000D

It's also distributed with Lazarus 1.2.2.  There's a chm in lazarus\docs\chm called user.chm.  That's the one you want.

Thanks a lot

No probs...

Small warning for future readers.  I've noticed that the online FPC help links aren't persistent over time.  So basically the link I gave is only likely to be valid until the next refresh...
