Hey all,

I'm a programmer by day and WoW player by... Well, day and night, as I freelance my work :).

I've recently started getting into writing WoW addons and grabbed a copy of "Beginning Lua with World of Warcraft" by the guy who wrote DBM - really good read so far!

I'm at them moment attempting to enable XML debugging with the following command ingame:

/run FrameXML_Debug(1)

After reloading the interface, WoW crashes with a fatal exception:

0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:00413DDB
The instruction at "0x00413DDB" referenced memory at "0x00000008".
The memory could not be "read".

I don't often code in higher level languages, so I don't really "get" memory errors :P. Any ideas?

Cheers!

There is literally no way to help you debug your code without seeing your code.

Did you check if a log file is created in your wow directory ?

Quote from Adirelle

@egingell, FrameXML_Debug(flag) is a built-in API, so I'm not sure that some XML code that doesn't cause the client to crash without it would make it crash with.

However, does the stock UI crash too ?

I doubt the stock UI would crash just from calling that function. And I know it's [the function] built-in.

Edit: Yikes, a major patch.

Edit again: The same thing happened to me with no addons loaded.
