DECORATE parser crashes instead of fails

Post by Major Cooke »

If there's one thing I noticed, it's that when something wrong is picked up (such as Pick instead of RandomPick), the decorate parser tends to just crash which isn't very helpful when trying to find out where or when the problem occurred in the decorate code. It keeps generating an access violation instead of showing "Execution could not continue."

Can you make an example definition to test it? I have never experienced such a thing.

Again: No demonstration, no investigation, no fix. You really should now better than to abandon your bug reports and not provide feedback when requested.
I tried with a simple deliberate error and it output the message as expected.

Yeah. I meant to reply to this thread, turns out it was a simple problem with blzut's build of GZdoom which we have fixed, from the drd team in this case.
