Lazreport PDF export causes GDB debugger to crash on Windows

[snorkel]

I just noticed this.

In my app I have several lazreports, and I just added the PDF export component (which works great)  and when i run the program every single time GDB crashes and pops up dialog boxes.

Laz 1.0.4 32bit
Windows 7 64 bit

Latest versions of PowerPDF required to make the export component compile.

I noticed this in another program, but thought it was related to ODBC, but now I am pretty sure it's the PDF export component causing the problem.

Can anyone else confirm this?  To reproduce just drop the Lazreport PDF export on a existing form that has a report.

and after:

The GDB command:
"-file-exec-and-symbols "
did not return any result.

But, if your run the EXE file the error will not appear.

GDB unfortunately crashes sometimes.

In your case it crashes when trying to open the exe. Most likely while reading the debug info.
One reason could be mixed stabs and dwarf. Or even a problem just with one of them.


When your exe is compiled, it is possible that each package (like lazreport and related) has it's own setting.

Go to each package and also to the project options:
- open the options, go to the the linking section: and verify what debug info is generated.

Set them all to be the same (all "dwarf2+sets" or all "stabs")

I advice to try dwarf2+sets first.

If you do not debug inside a package, then for that package you can switch them off entirely.
