LV PDA 8.2 Sort 1D Array Bug Crash

[rberger]

Attached is zip file with a VI that crashes at 1D Sort Array Primitive.  I'm using a WM5.0 device LV PDA 8.2.  I have the project set to debugging mode so download the EXE with the debug option.  There is a breakpoint at the 1D Sort Array primitive.  After stepping through, my device always crashes.

Hi Rudi N:

Did you try running the project on a REAL Windows Mobile 5.0 device or the emulator?  I can get this to consistenly crash on my mobile device.  I am NOT running in emulator mode.

Thank you for providing me with more clarification. I found a PDA with Windows Mobile 5.0 Device on it and ran your program. It crashed at first as expected. I then switched the "Sort" boolean control to "False" and ran the program again. The program ran just fine on the PDA and I was able to look at different results. This leads to concluding that the issue is indeed with the "Sort 1D Array" function. I then created a VI that replicates what the "True" case of the case structure does, namely taking an array control (it is actually an array of clusters with  arrays, numeric and string as elements). I ran the VI on the PDA and it worked just fine. I then created an array made of elements from your program and that program crashed. At this point I am not quite sure about why we are still getting this error. Is there something else I need to know about the array that being fed into the Sort function?

Please feel free to send any information that will help troubleshoot your issue.

I found out where the issue is. Your cluster has an array as one of the elements and that is the reason why you are getting the error. I removed the array from the cluster and everything worked just fine. I will look into this further.

Thanks Rudi N.  The funny thing is this type of Array of Cluster worked great from v7 all the way through 8.01.  I will try to eliminate the array of strings within the cluster I see what happens.  This will take some time on my part since I will have to tweak my existing app in many places.

Thanks
