LabVIEW 2010 F2 - Crash - Localization issue ?

[DaHelmut]

Hi fellows !

I am using LabVIEW 2010 F2 (French localized version) and I am facing this strange behavior. Can you confirm that this is a bug and / or this is because I am using a localized version of LabVIEW ?

When using the Modifications:VI property node  (CTRL+SHIFT+B) and connecting its output to a case structure everything works fine (it looks like that).

But now if I change the Modifications:VI property to Modifications:Front Panel and let the output of the property node connected to the case structure, LabVIEW crashes or the broken arrow appears.

If I click on the broken arrow or try to save the VI (CTRL+S), I get the following error message :

Fpsane.cpp line 442

Thanks for your help.

Hi Helmut,

I managed to reproduce this error also, I am looking into this for you.

I am using LabVIEW 2010.

Thanks for raising this issue!

I don't think the issue is related to localization as I was able to recreate the crash on my PC which is a purely English version of Windows Vista and LabVIEW 2010 f2.

Attached is the log file created on recovery.  (Which didn't recover this VI, but a scratchpad VI I had open.)

Hi Maxime (& Ravens Fan)

This was reported to R&D (# 276039) for further investigation. The issue exists in LabVIEW 2010 (with or without the LabVIEW 2010 f2 patch). One workaround could be to delete the case structure and recreate it after changing the property node to Modifications:Front Panel Mods Bitset. Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

There is another bug with LabVIEW 2010 (F4 this time).

To reproduce it you have to create a (strict) type definition that consists of a cluster and put a constant which is linked to this typedef on the BD (just select the .ctl file in the BD) and then delete the type definition from the hard drive.

Close the VI that has the constant in the BD.

Re-open the VI, and in the BD, right click on the cluster constant and select "View as Icon". Now you get LabVIEW crashed. (ok it is useless doing that on a non existing typedef but this is crashing LabVIEW, so I thought this should be reported).

Keep me informed if you have any further informations about that.

Sorry, I do not have a appropriate LabVIEW version to test this.

You might not know this, but the USA is basically shut down for a few days for thanksgiving holiday, black friday, cyber monday, etc. Maybe you need some more patience. 😉

Hi Altenbach,

That's right, I forgot that it was Thanksgiving in the USA. But I didn't know about Black Friday and Cyber Monday ! It is amazing that even if this is a pure  technical forum, we can learn a lot of things that are not concerning LabVIEW.

Thanks for these informations 🙂

Hi,

It seems that this is already been noted as an issue in LabVIEW 2010 (with or without the patches). A corrective action request has been made for this and will be resolved in future releases.

Sorry for the delayed response!

Many thanks,

Hi,

This has been reported to R&D (# 244158 ) for further investigation. A possible workaround is not to use the 'View As Icon' option for constants if you intended to delete the typedef ctl file.

Thanks for the feedback!
