TemplateStack Bug?

[WaltBrown]

FYI, this line crashes RR4 Build 950 on x64 Vista SP2 in the same op in the Main thread and Rev frame every time, whether scripted, in the MessageBox, or in a Try loop, or in any form (ie "get", "put", etc):

Code: Select all

the currentcard of the templateStack

"currentcard" is not listed in any documentation but comes up in the propertyNames list.

FWIW:
Unhandled Win32 exception [424].
Unhandled exception at 0x00437d78 in Revolution.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

Hmm it does as well at 4.5.0-dp-3 Build 1020

OK - filed as bz #8968.

For now, doctor says "don't do that"...

It *does*, of course, bring up the question of *why* you're trying to access the currentCard of the templateStack... it doesn't seem like a very rewarding property to try to work with.

[WaltBrown]

There is no "why", I just happened on it. I was brute force analyzing available properties for "template" object settings to create my own starter stack. Since it crashed Rev, I had to pin it down anyway.

Got it. I definitely approve of exploring.

[WaltBrown]

Well, exploring can be hazardous. You heard the one about the little kitten growing up in a cabin in the woods?

[shadowslash]

Brute forcing FTW!

Bug #8968 is now marked as Fixed for the next release.
