CVI crashes - event log shows [FATAL] [LW_UAE_Handler] [..\jeff\i386\except.c:161] Assertion failed: 0.

Hello,

When calling lua_error(L) (pushing a Lua error in an embedded lua interpreter in my CVI code), I have been encountering a complete crash.  Not only does my code stop running, but the full CVI 9.1.1 IDE crashes without even an error message.  When I look in the windows xp event log I find the following:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( CVI ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: [16:45:30.768] [FATAL] [LW_UAE_Handler] [..\jeff\i386\except.c:161] Assertion failed: 0.

When I recompile my project with visual studio, the identical code does not crash or cause any problems.  Any insite on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Alex Corwin

One quick update:  When I run the same exe directly (i.e. not through the CVI IDE but instead clicking on the executable directly) I do not have this problem.  Seems like it may have something to do with how the CVI IDE handles exceptions?

thanks,

Hello Alex,

Could you try to generate a crash dump? Also, here is a community example of code using an embedded interpreter LUA in a LabWindows/CVI Project.
