Kern exec 3 panic while debugging test app for an exe on emulator

[pkalyani]

Hi All

I get the following panic when I try to create an obj of a class in an app which ahs to be tested.

104.370 [QTestLib] PASS : TestClientCF::initTestCase()
104.395 [QTestLib] QDEBUG : TestClientCF::testClientCFGetFriends() create client
104.430 [QTestLib] QDEBUG : TestClientCF::testClientCFGetFriends() client == NULL
104.875 Thread TestClientApp::TestClientApp Panic KERN-EXEC 3

like client = new MyClass();
It is panicking.

This MyClass belongs to an exe.
This is on emulator.Please let me know what might be the possible reason for this panic.

Thanks
Kalyani

I think putting a breakpoint on qFatal will catch most panics and let you observe the all-important call stack.

There is also a global emulator setting you can do, IIRC, to achieve the same thing, but I can't recall what it is.

epoc32\data\epoc.ini change justintime from 0/None to debug (or 1 if you want to be on all the time).
qFatal calls __DEBUGGER(); which invokes just in time.

or

To catch windows exceptions from Carbide debug menu go to tab "x86 exceptions" and check all but "c++ exception".
Kern-exec 3 is Access Violation and thus the exception is triggered.
