WebHelp compile crashes in RH8 and RH6

I am currently evaluating Version 8 of Robohelp and would like to get all my projects on the same version of Robohelp. Most of my projects are at Version 6. I have another project that is currently at Version x.41 that I would like to upgrade and was testing it to see how it runs with Version 8. The X4.1 project converted to Version 8 without a hitch but when I compiled the WebHelp , it crashed and I received the following error: “Adobe Robohelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. “ Here are the details:
AppName: robohtml.exe
AppVer: 8.0.0.203
ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.3053
Offset: 0008aa0
After researching the error on line, I found that it was the conditional build statement that was causing the crash. When I compiled the WebHelp without the conditional build statement, it compiled just fine. I could not find any help on line for dealing with this error for Version 8 so I made a new copy of the project and converted it to Version 6, which apparently had a patch I can download. I applied the patch that was in Peter Grainge’s site to my copy of Robohelp 6. The X4.1 project opened without a hitch in Version 6. But when I compiled the WebHelp, it crashed again with the same error – even with the patch installed. Here are the error details:
AppName: robohtml.exe
AppVer: 6.0.99.0
ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.3053
Offset: 0008aa0
Can someone please shed some light into this? I really would like to have all my RH projects at the same version.
Thanks!

The TOC and Index might be easier than you think. In RH8 you can create a TOC and Index that is a copy of another one. This works well with TOCs and Indexes in the same project but usually a TOC or Index in another project will have different links to topics so they will be pretty useless. If you create exactly the same folders though, then you might be able to copy the old TOC and Index. Back up first though.

Issue with unlinked books in WebHelp Pro project TOC - RH7 and RH8

I've been testing WebHelp Pro in both RH7 and RH8. Have the same problem in both with the topic that automatically displays when you click a book/sub-book that is not linked to a specific topic. For some reason, WebHelp Pro displays the last topic in the previous book/sub-book. After opening different books/sub-books within the TOC, I determined that there's a browse sequence being created based on the TOC hierarchy even though I do NOT have any browse sequences set up in this project at the topic level. However, WebHelp thinks that the last topic above the selected book is what should be displayed even though it might not relate to any of the topics associated with the selected book. This is a real usability issue. I was confused by what was displaying and I'm the one who develops the help topics and TOC.
By the way, this does NOT happen when I publish using FlashHelp Pro. In FlashHelp, the last topic that was accessed remains in the topic frame if there is no topic linked to the selected book. This is much more acceptable to the user because the topic is not switching.
I'm assuming that this is a BUG and should be reported!
NOTE: We're still working in RH7 but plan to publish to RH Server 8 using WebHelp Pro.
Because I don't expect this to be fixed soon, we have developed a workaround. We are adding a generic but applicable topic for each book/sub-book. This will be our new development standard but it requires going back into 4 different projects to fix the problem. Not the most efficient use of our time as we're swamped with new topic development.

Hi.
Yes this is a bug and I'd urge you to report it. You can use this link. The more people that do the greater chance it will be fixed. I have covered the entire problem and the workarounds here.

Question on model crashes (compiled with Matlab 2013b and Veristand 2013)

These models were compiled with Matlab 2010a and Veristand 2010 and when I deploy them to RT target with Veristand 2013, everything works correctly.
Now I compiled the same models with Matlab 2013b and Veristand 2013...they are successfully deployed to the same RT target but when I start the model (set model command to 0), the RT side crashes.
The strange thing is that I found if I set the initial state of model to running, this crash won't happen but when setting initial state to paused then manually set model command to 0, RT machine crashes immediately. Have any one come across the similar issue? I feel it's something to do with the initial condition but wonder why it doesn't happen when compiled with Matlab 2010a and Veristand 2010.

That behavior definitely sounds odd. I would expect models that worlk in previous versions of VeriStand to work with newer ones as well.
With that said several other things have changed in the interum between VeriStand 2010 and VeriStand 2013.
I see you have already contacted us through a service request, we will continue troubleshooting there for the moment.

Problem with compilation crashing

Hi,
I'm having an issue with RH9 when I try to compile a CHM.
Fo a start, it's getting very agitated about the variable code for some reason, but just for the master topic:
Normal2.htt :
The HTML tag "?rh-variable_start name="title" format="default" v..." is not a valid HTML tag (it does not begin with an alphanumeric character).
But it also hates a lot of my images:
Button_Print_Preview.gif :
The HTML tag "ïMž\ã|ÅR£dPœ$s …U„ ]¸y\¸Ù³w®›,[‘”<‹ ÈÈ”CÆ ¢J„f‹œ Þ..." is not a valid HTML tag (it does not begin with an alphanumeric character).
I've checked the image, there is no HTML even close to it like the compiler is describing.
When it gets part way through the images it crashes.
The images were made with PSP 4 and 8 (I'm having trouble getting funding for newer versions) and have transparent sections.
If I rename and replace the image names that sometimes work in clearing the issue, and sometimes not. I've tried remaking them...no dice.
There is nothing in the HTML to suggest what could be tripping up the compiler, is this an IE9 issue?
To further complicate things, this is a file that was once RH9, then had to be downgraded to 8, then upgraded to 9.
It's also a template for WebHelp that I've stripped back down to complied help. I'm pretty sure that any of those things could have screwed it up, but I just can't see what has screwed up!
For example:
HHC3002: Warning:
Button_Print_Preview.gif :
The HTML tag "c" is missing a closing angle bracket.
The code is:
Tip: You can use <img src="../../Images/Button_Print_Preview.gif" alt="Button_Print_Preview.gif" style="border: none;" border="0" /> Print Preview to view the data you are about to print out.
I've 'deleted' the XPJ, no effect. Any ideas?
I'm on Windows 7, with IE9
Nicola

Hi William,
2. The HTML tag for the print image is just a lof of gibberish. Is that exactly what you're seeing?
I can't view the output because the compiler crashes before it can generate the CHM. I can generate WebHelp without these issues.
- Are your project AND your output directory both on your local drive?
Yes.
- Do you use long filenames/folder names? Long file paths may give trouble.
Typical path: "../../Images/Button_DocumentsStandard.gif"
I don't think that's excessive!
- You have deleted the XPJ. Have you also tried deleting the CPJ? Make a full backup, remove the CPJ and open the project again.
Can't find a CPJ, did you mean the CPD?? I've done that, no change.
- Can you run the W3C compliance tool to see what problems might be in your code? (File > W3C Compliance > Validate all)
I could, do you mean on the source or output? I don't have the output code (RH deletes it), and the source looks ok to me... nothing fancy.
- You say this is a 'file' that was RH9, went back to RH8 and is now back to RH9. Do you mean a single file or the entire project? What did you do to 'downgrade' the file/project?
Sorry, the project got downgraded. I can't remember what I did to downgrade it, this was a while ago.
If you get errors that certain tags are incomplete, there might be something wrong with the code in your topics.
I agree with this, but can't see anything wrong with the code.
Thanks,
Nicola

JVM Hotspot compiler crashed

Hello,
The JVM crashed in one of our Solaris production environments. The cause of the crash appears to be the HotSpot compiler. It seems that the JVM was trying to compile frequently used code and then it crashed. I have checked the forums and I found one other message with the same Internal Error ID. However, in that message, it is suggested that the JVM itself is running out of C malloc space (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=37&threadID=5127551).
I have verified that the JVM was not running out of memory when it crashed. There was over 9 GB of swap and physical memory available to the JVM when the crash happened.
Below are the contents of the hs_err_pid file.
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:

Safari crashing in Pogo and some videos & ads

I am having a problem with Safari crashing. I have Googled and searched Mac forums for months now. There seem to be many people with crashing Safari problems but after trying all the troubleshooting suggestions I’ve read, have still not been able to solve it. Pogo has no answer other than use a PC.
Configuration:
PowerMac Dual 1.25GHz, 2GB RAM, dual WD 300GB drives, Dell 20” Display. Leopard 10.5.4, Safari 3.1.2 (5525.20.1). Software Update is run weekly, so all is current.
Problem:
Mostly it crashes while playing games on Pogo.com, but will also crash when trying to play a video clip. Seldom if ever on YouTube, but often on videos from news sites (can’t recall a specific site at the moment). I can generally browse, search and research for hours on end until I come upon a web page with a certain kind of video or flashy ad, which will more than likely cause a crash. A restart seems to help for a little while, but not for long.
Memory & Settings:
In Activity Monitor/System Memory, nothing appears to continually grow or get unusually large. With game in process, Safari shows use of 91.19MB Real and 1.04GB Virtual Memory. Summary at bottom shows 1.26GB free right now with Safari, Word, Console & Activity Monitor open. Safari is set to remove downloads at close, open to blank page, clear RSS daily, enable plug-ins, Java and JavaScript, DB storage set to 5MB but have tried 0MB. I have a lot of bookmarks, but have tried removing all but 1 or 2 and that made no difference. Java Prefs shows v1.4.2 and v 5.0 loaded with 5.0 as primary.
Testing & Fix Attempts:
The Mac passes all tests on the Apple Hardware Test Disc, Disk Utility and DiskWarrior every time they are run. Some of the other things I’ve tried: Prefs rebuilt, Safari history and caches cleared, reset Safari, com.apple.kernelcaches (folder in /System/Library/Caches) and Extensions.kextcache (file in /System/Library) deleted as recommended, removed Logitech’s Scroll Enhancer from InputManagers (now empty), no other Enhancers installed, Flash Player uninstalled and version 9.0.124.0 reinstalled, reinstalled several OS and Safari updates from downloads, opened new user account.
Alternative Fix Attempt:
Giving up on fixes, I cleared off my second drive and did a fresh install (and reformat) of Leopard off of my Retail Version disc. After the install, I booted onto that drive and immediately started playing on Pogo. It’s the quickest place to get a crash. I was able to play for 2 hours before Safari crashed. I sent in my report to Apple and went back to Pogo. 5 minutes later, another crash. Reported and back to Pogo. This third time, Safari crashed while the game window was trying to open. The game used in testing is a simple solitaire game called First Class Solitaire, but just about any will get the same results. Remember, at this time nothing had been installed on this drive but the original Leopard install. No updates. No other software. No migration of my documents or previous settings. I had not even made any prefs changes. Before installation, I made a point of unplugging everything but the monitor and the wired keyboard and mouse that came with the Mac. I continued to update (from downloads) to the current OS versions and security before installing any 3rd party software and the Safari crashes persisted.
I got a MacBook Pro (Intel) in December and it sits on the opposite corner of my desk from the PowerMac. I don’t have any problems with it at all. As a matter of fact, I don’t believe that Safari has ever crashed on it. Both feed wirelessly off of the same router.
I no longer have any of the crash reports from the fresh install, because I let Leopard Cache Cleaner do it’s thing and it wiped them all out. I do have 20 crash reports and 6 hang reports from 7/12 to 7/30/08. I don’t know what are the important parts to send, but a condensed version of 5 different crashes is listed below. The first two are the most common.
I apologize for the length of this post, but I’m at my wits end. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You for your time and consideration.

Annotation-caused compiler crash

Hi,
When attempting to build against a class that uses runtime annotations, javac is crashing with:
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.6.0-rc). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.
com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$CompletionFailure: class file for test.annotation.TestAnnotation not found
The test case that generates this error can be found at:
http://www.cjtucker.com/annotation-bug.tgz
Synopsis:
Attempting to build against a class that contains a runtime annotation requires the definition of the annotation to be available to the compiler. If the definition is not available, the compiler crashes.
Test case:
The test case attempts to build three classes in three separate packages: a simple RUNTIME scoped annotation, a "core" class, and a "ui" class that builds against the core class. The "ui" class neither knows nor cares about the annotated properties of the "core" class. The annotation class is build in isolation; the core class is built only against the annotation class; the ui class is built only against the core class.
The test case tarball contains the necessary .java files and directory structure for compilation. The compilation commands are contained in compile.sh.
The crash can be avoided by including the annotation class in the classpath when building the ui component. The crash has been reproduced in 1.5.0_04, 1.5.0_05, and 1.6.0b61. Other JDKs have not been tested. The crash occurs with both RUNTIME and CLASS scoped annotations, though not with SOURCE scope (as expected: the compiler is correctly stripping annotations in that case). The crash does not occur if the annotation does not take parameters (i.e. is an empty "marker" annotation).
This raises some additional questions I'd be interested in hearing comment on. What is the expected behavior here? I would expect the annotation class should not be required as a dependency, in the same way I'm not expected to declare a dependency on every class used by a class I interact with. This behavior with annotations seems to breach encapsulation (for example, a client would have to know that my libraries happened to be using a Hibernate persistence layer whether or not this is of interest to them). Perhaps one of the Java gurus here could shed some further light on this?
Cheers,
Chris Tucker

Hi,
I know this is an old post but I am having the exact same problem with 1.6.0_11 and have not been able to find a solution.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Compiler Crashes!!

Hello,
We have similar java crash on HP-UX 11.11 (with all latest OS and java patches). The funny thing is that we able to run java as "root", but we won't able to run java as local users. We checked possible environment issue, but did not find anything what could be a problem. We also reinstalled java 1.4 on that machine - it did not fix the problem. Also we tried this: we installed Java 1.3 - works with all users, Java 1.2 - works with all users. With Java 1.4 , we are getting this:
$ java -version

IDL compiler crashes when......

Hi,
I've found that the IDL compiler crashes when trying to compile an idl that contains
a declaration similar to the following:
struct S {
union U switch(long) {
case 1:
long a;
case 2:

The crash occurs with both NT and Solaris 8 versions of Tuxedo 8.0's $TUXDIR/bin/idl

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Dave,
Looks strange... I suggest that you open a case with BEA support.

Peter.

RH8 and RH Server 8 Assistance

Hi All,
We are currently using RoboHelp HTML 8 to create webhelp for Java-based web applications. We recently received new requirements from our stakeholders, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with some of the specifics. We're hoping we can continue using RH8. Since my questions spread across Air/RH8 Server/RH8 HTML, I apologize if I posted in the wrong category.
Requirement 1: Track help usage. I'm assuming we could purchase RoboHelp Server 8, generate our webhelp in the same manner, and then just deploy the help to the RH Server rather than another server. Is this correct? And I'm assuming providing context-sensitive help (either by giving Map IDs to developers or using an XML file) would still be possible?
Requirement 2: Provide embedded help in the form of inline help, docking panes, bubbles, etc. Does RH8 offer any of this capability? I think this one is a long shot... I'm not aware of any other help authoring tool that provides this capability for webhelp.
Requirement 3: Provide an updated look, as we’ve had comments that the current Webhelp skin looks outdated. Would using the Adobe Air – Browser based Help output in place of the Webhelp output pose any challenges?
Requirement 4: The ability for other departments to reuse our content. Currently another department is using Joomla to create our knowledge base. Does anyone know of a way to import RH content into Joomla?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

Hi, chrodgers
I'll take a crack at this:
Requirement 1: Track help usage. I'm assuming we could purchase RoboHelp Server 8, generate our webhelp in the same manner, and then just deploy the help to the RH Server rather than another server. Is this correct? And I'm assuming providing context-sensitive help (either by giving Map IDs to developers or using an XML file) would still be possible?
Yes, publishing your project as WebHelp Pro to the RoboHelp Server is virtually the same as you are doing now. Also there are CSH APIs that developers use (or use their own favorite methods) for calling topics using Map IDs or by URL.
Requirement 2: Provide embedded help in the form of inline help, docking panes, bubbles, etc. Does RH8 offer any of this capability? I think this one is a long shot... I'm not aware of any other help authoring tool that provides this capability for webhelp.
You are right that this is more of an "engineered" or programmed windowing operation that only the developer can control. Still, I imagine you can provide the HTML topics via WebHelp that appear in the custom panes, with a little plannng.
Requirement 3: Provide an updated look, as we’ve had comments that the current Webhelp skin looks outdated. Would using the Adobe Air – Browser based Help output in place of the Webhelp output pose any challenges?
Have you tried to create from scratch or modify the existing skins in the WebHelp skin editor? Like anything else aesthetic there's nothing like having a graphic designer to accommodate color schemes and branding requirements If they supply the design and graphic elements, it's fairly simple to assemble the parts using the WebHelp skin editor. Using Adobe AIR browser-based help would work if you use the "out of the box" templates and skins. RoboHelp does not (yet) have an AIR Help skin editor. So you would be limited to the ones provided. You might try generating AIR Help Browser Based to see if it fits your needs. It's real simple to find out! Understand that are a couple of features of true AIR Help ( installed.air file) that are not included in the browser-based version (favorites, commenting, etc.)
Requirement 4: The ability for other departments to reuse our content. Currently another department is using Joomla to create our knowledge base. Does anyone know of a way to import RH content into Joomla?
I don't know enough to comment except to say if the Joomla platform can display HTML, it should work.
Hope this helps.

Compiler Crash: Volatile Bit Fields (reading)

Can anyone verify that this crashes the Studio 12 C++ compiler?
typedef struct {
#if defined(CRASH)
    volatile int crash : 1;
#else
              int crash : 1;
#endif
} Flags_t;
int main()
    Flags_t Flags = {0};
    return Flags.crash; /* reading the volatile bit-field causes the compiler crash */
}With cc, it compiles fine, and it compiled fine up until some recent patch with CC. 124863-01 seems to work but 124863-03 results in a compiler SEGV.
Edited by: Mike_Morgan on Apr 17, 2008 2:44 PM
You'll need to use: -DCRASH to see the compiler SEGV.

Thanks for filing the bug report. It is CR 6690835, which should be visible at bugs.sun.com in a day or two.

CVI 2010 compiler crash

This short piece of code below causes compiler crash in CVI 2010 - in CVI9.0 it works fine.
Thanks for help.
jirjan
/* Compiler Crash example, CVI 2010 - v10.0.0 */
static void fctDummy1(void) {};
static void fctDummy2(void) {};
typedef struct tagMyStruct
void (*DummyFunction1) ( void );
void (*DummyFunction2) ( void );
} tMyStruct;
     tMyStruct MyFctStruct         = {fctDummy1, fctDummy2};
const tMyStruct MyConstFctStruct = {fctDummy1, fctDummy2};
void MyTest(void)
   MyFctStruct.DummyFunction1();
   MyFctStruct.DummyFunction2();
   /* this line doesn't cause the compiler crash...!!*/
   MyConstFctStruct.DummyFunction1();
   /* BUT next line caused the compiler crash...!!*/
   MyConstFctStruct.DummyFunction2();

It is a very simple project with one source file only - sending in attachment (adapt to your project path or create simple project with .c file)..As I wrote before - with CVI9.0 (and/or any C compiler) I can compile the source file, CVI 2010 crashes while compiling..
Thanks for your time

I installed the latest version of Firefox last night. It worked 3-4 times flawlessly. Now, it crashes at startup and gives me a box with crash detail report. How can I fix this?

I have a brand new HP dv8t laptop that is straight from the manufacturer 2 days ago.
Last night, I attempted to download and installed the latest version of Firefox. After installing, it worked great for an hour or so (3.4 different sessions).
Then, this morning when I came back to the computer, Firefox crashes at startup and gives me the option of finding a solution online or quitting the program.
How aggravating!
I have installed this same version on 2 other computers that I own, without any issue.
I have attempted to uninstall Firefox from the dv8 and reinstalling, to no avail.
I cannot find the crash report, but I do this see this message once the app crashes:

Please help! I cant stand iE anymore and I'm so lost without Firefox!

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

Version 22 operating on Windows XP continuously crashes; CPU surges and can not see the Firefox Health Report (all boxes checked and share data on)???

Not sure how much clearer I can be.
Windows XP version 5.1 with Service Pack 3
Firefox Version 22
Can not view Firefox Health Report even thou all selections are made for this to happen
I share data with Mozilla

If Firefox is crashing we need the Crash IDs that are obtainable from ''about:crashes''. The crash IDs start with ''bp-''
Standard reply:
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash ID's to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter about:crashes in the address bar (that's where you enter your website URL) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the 5 most recent crash ID's that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your response here.
Thank you for your help!
