Author Topic: code/lab/wmcgui.cpp assertion error (Read 1873 times)

I don't know what caused it, since I don't know what the code is trying to do, but when loading up the lab with a debug build I always got an assertion error
from within a vector class because the index was out of bounds (the vector was empty).

Since the code is trying to access the first element to get the starting address of the vector (bad bad thing to do without checking the vector first) this caused the assertion.

I changed the code to do the length check first and only try to get the address of the vector if it actually contains any elements (otherwise the entire function is not doing anything anyway).

Patch attached.

can someone from SCP please comment on this and either confirm or discard it? If this is an issue not just on my PC it needs to be put into trunk.

I saw this as well. Seems to be fixed in the latest svn revision.

I have a feeling this was related to the FRED crashiness and other strange happenings between 5358 and 5387. As he pointed out, it should be fixed now. Some debugging features were accidentally enabled (I do wonder if this is related to the Ubuntu crashing though).
