compile with range and stack overflown on

[AP81]

Hey all,

I have written an application which on two ocassions has produced an external exception error message (then it has crashed) . Although it has only happened twice in two weeks I would like to fix it.

The application hooks the keyboard (listens for a ctrl + shift keypress) and sends a string to the active window when the key combination is detected.

After talking to a Borland rep, he suggested to compile my application with range and stack overflown on. Because it takes a week or so to get a response from them, I just wanted to see if anyone here would know.

Also, is doing this safe?

BTW, I am using Delphi7

Thanks in advance.

Range checking just means that the error mesaage with give and 'XXX out of range' type error rather than an application exception.
Stack overflow much the same.

There is no danger in setting these the only problem is that the size of your executable could increse somewhat, and there might be a speed penalty.
