I have just posted the symified error messages. However, it is
the last error message, not the first as you wanted. I cannot press
pause quickly enough to see the first error message, and even if I could
I would not be at the C:\prompt where I type symify -o dumpfile newbug.exe.
I understand that I cannot redirect cerr. I will try to
understand what you were saying about other schemes for writing
the error messages to a file, but how would I symify them if I
did?
By the way: I never mentioned that I am working in plain DOS
(press F8 after "starting windows 95" appears and then selecting
option 6) and not in a DOS box. There is no problem in a DOS box,
but then one does not have the djgpp memory managers and access
to at least 128mb of ram as we have discussed in the past. I assume
that you know I refer to plain DOS. My config.sys and autoexec.bat
for plain DOS have been posted in the past.
Actually, I believe that what you are saying about free is the
key to the problem, but I don't see where I am invoking the
destructors anyway--I never actually delete anything in the little
example I posted (or my big codes either for that matter). But the
compiler may.
In a way, all of this is a problem encountered by a not overly
knowledgeable end user, but I thought those who write the compilers
and memory managers which we end users use should (perhaps) know
what it is that we have trouble with.
