This bug should be fixed in the latest script patch found here: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1247
The patch was tested using the test macro shown earlier and the Macros, Repeated Playback menu option with the macro repeated some 10,000 times

There is still something wrong.
I've installed 3.96j patch but Zeus crushes still heppen from time to time.
Unfortunately, there I can't observe any regular behavior.
The last crush occured when I simply switched between windows, comming back to Zeus from another program - Zeus window disapeared  like it was closed.
I'am pretty sure I didn't use that time macros (also F7 - I have JavaScript as a default), so it must come from other raesons. |

There may well be another bug in Zeus but I am sure this bug with the Lua macro scripting engine is definitely fixed.
I personally have not seen a crash since this patch but recently I have not been running Zeus for long periods of time (ie weeks) without a restart.
Over the next few weeks I will make sure I keep Zeus running to see if I can replicate this error.
The Lua error was caused by a large memory leak so this other bug might also be some sort of memory leak

I have done some more investigation into this issue.
What I did was create the following JavaScript macro:
| Code: | function key_macro()
{
zeus.screen_update_disable
zeus.FileNew
zeus.FileClose
zeus.screen_update_enable
zeus.screen_update
}
key_macro() // run the macro |
and this identical Lua macro:
| Code: | function key_macro()
screen_update_disable()
FileNew()
FileClose()
screen_update_enable()
screen_update()
end
key_macro() -- run the macro |
I then ran both macros several thousand times using the macro repeat option and watched the Zeus memory usage in the task manager.
Based on these observations it appears that the Lua script exhibits a slow memory leak (which might actually be leak in Zeus) but the JavaScript macro has quite a sever leak (most probably due to a COM object not being release)
I am pretty sure the Zeus abort is caused by a failed request for memory, so based on the above observations, I would suggest switching back to using the Lua scripting engine as the default engine, until this JavaScript leak is identified and fixed

Another observation.
This time I'm absolutely sure I didn't use any scripts. I'm trying not to use them at all to exlude one of the possible reasons of Zeus abort.
The unexpected abort happened this time after about 3 hours work of Zeus (3-4 files opened) when I pressed a Replace button on the Replace window (F6).
The flags were set to: case sensitive, regular expr and repeat find.

I have had Zeus running and been using Zeus constantly for over a day now and unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this bug
But what I would suggest is trying a full re-install using the full Zeus installer which can be found here:
http://www.zeusedit.com/z300/ze32v396j.zip
To maintain your current configuration details make a full backup copy of your current Zeus install directory before running the install and then use this process to copy over the current settings:

The bug symptom after few weeks of stable work.
After the F8 key I've got the Zeus Script Exception window (Zeus has detected an internal scripting error most probably caused by a syntax error in your scripting macro code which is not being handled correctly by the current module...).
It didn't help to rerecord the sequence with F7 - F8 still pop up the warning.
My version is now 3.96j (fully reinstalled with Zeus installer as you suggested).
PS. I'm sending this also to bugs@zeusedit.com with the ZeusErr.log attached.

I think this bug should be fixed in the latest Zeus patch.
I would strongly suggest all users upgrade to the latest version using the patch found here:

While this patch did seem to reduce the occurrence of the abort, unfortunately even with this patch applied the bug still remains
The good news is the current round of beta testing for the next patch seems to indicate the bug may have been fixed once and for all 
Expect to see a new patch released some time in the next few weeks.

This abort bug has hopefully been fixed by the latest Zeus patch 
As this is a serious bug in that it can result in the loss of data, it is highly recommended all users install this patch 
The latest patch can be found here: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1298

|
|
Jussi,
If 3.96m is the latest release, then the run-time abort problem is not fixed. I've gotten the MSVC++ Runtime Library error message about a Runtime Error several times over that last week or so as I've ramped up my usage of Zeus after a longish hiatus.
The message references zeus.exe, and says "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." When I click the OK button, Zeus shuts down.
The most recent occurence happened when I was simply inserting text after using the cursor keys to reposition - very vanilla. Other occurences have been when using Find/Replace w/ regular expressions, using marked text operations, and other normal functions. No apparent macro involvement.
Any info on additional data you'd like to have? I'd really like to get this resolved.
BTW, I'm assuming the "important lua scripting" patch is included in 3.96m - is that correct?

I am reverting back to the Microsoft memory manager as I think this issue relates to a replacement memory manager that has been in use in Zeus for a few releases now. The replacement memory manager was being used because it is faster, but I am pretty sure it is causing these aborts
The next patch will once again use the Microsoft memory manager.

It should. If you find it doesn't then let me know.

The latest Zeus patch will hopefully fix this bug once and for all. Since this is a fairly critical bug, it is suggested all Zeus users upgrade to this latest version.
The patch can be found here: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3234
