| 146004 | 2003-05-20 23:00:00 | Just so you all know we are working on fixing these crashes. The guys are currently logging what is going on to try and establish exactly what the fault is. Really sorry for the ongoing inconvenience. | Biggles (121) | ||

| 146008 | 2003-05-21 05:31:00 | Speaking of that, could someone explain to me what a NullPointerException error actually is? (or whatever it is?)... I see people pointing the finger of PF1 faults at it, but I don't know what it really is or what "NullPointers" have to do with PF1's errors... Thanks CyberChuck |

| 146009 | 2003-05-21 05:58:00 | pointers are a programming thing. null is meaning nothing. you have a pointer and it tells the program where to look for the bit of data. a null pointer is not set to point to anything and so when you go and have a look the program crashes or something bad like that. where do null pointer come from? when you make a new bit of data (a post on the forum) the program make a new pointer (which is set to null by ths OS) and then tells the OS I ahve this data to stor where can i put it? the OS will return a pointer to a place for the program to store the info. the problem come when the program stores the data but dosent the pale in the pointer. this means that the pointer is still set to null and when it goes back to get the data it cant find it and "throws" a null pointer error. hope that makes sence. as for fixing this problem, it could be anywhere in 10000 lines of code :-) |

| 146010 | 2003-05-21 06:04:00 | and a version with less mistakes :-0 pointers are a programming thing . null is meaning nothing . you have a pointer and it tells the program where to look for the bit of data . a null pointer is not set to point to anything and so when you go and have a look the program crashes or something bad like that . where do null pointer come from? when you make a new bit of data (a post on the forum) the program makes a new pointer (which is set to null by ths OS) and then tells the OS I have this data to store where can i put it? the OS will return a location value to a place for the program to store the info . the problem come when the program stores the data but dosent store the location value in the pointer . this means that the pointer is still set to null and when it goes back to get the data it cant find it and "throws" a null pointer error . hope that makes sence . as for fixing this problem, it could be anywhere in 10000 lines of code :-) look I cant find the mistakes in 30 lines of posting!! |

| 146012 | 2003-05-21 07:01:00 | "Curently logging" . Gee, considering all of the resources that pressf1 have on hand I would have thought logging would have been tried months ago . And yeah I know it's for free and we can't expect too much, nevertheless I would have thought we would have been down this road before now . Well anyway . . . Good luck in trapping the little bugger . |
