A strange error everytime my proggy ends... http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/616815 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Sat, 25 Mar 2017 23:44:52 +0000

I'm a newbie to Allegro 5.2.2.1 and started with this source:

All event sources are destroyed,too. Emptying the queue first may inhibit nasty warnings/errors (who knows ??? 62 63 return 0; 64}

When I run it on the CLI I get this message:
Failed to receive messages at scim_bridge_client_read_and_dispatch ()
An IOException at scim_bridge_client_deregister_imcontext ()
Failed to deregister an IMContext

With gdb as debugger I can't reproduce it.
The session ends with

#SelectExpand
1(gdb) 263 return 0; 3(gdb) 464 } 5(gdb) 6__libc_start_main (main=0x8048bcd <main(int, char**)>, argc=1, argv=0xbffff024, init=0x8048f60 <__libc_csu_init>, fini=0x8048fd0 <__libc_csu_fini>, rtld_fini=0xb7fed160 <_dl_fini>, stack_end=0xbffff01c) 7 at libc-start.c:321 8321 libc-start.c: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden. 9(gdb) 10[Thread 0xb6c1cb40 (LWP 23019) exited] 11[Thread 0xb4affb40 (LWP 23029) exited] 12[Thread 0xb54ffb40 (LWP 23028) exited] 13[Thread 0xb5ea0b40 (LWP 23027) exited] 14[Inferior 1 (process 23001) exited normally] 15(gdb) 16The program is not being run. 17(gdb) quit

The script does exactly what it should do according to documentation snippets I got mostly from this site.

It just irks me that SCIM is interfering with Allegro.

My compile script is 

#!/bin/bash
echo "*** starting preprocessing... ***"
g++ -Wall -Wextra -E -dP -ggdb -o allegro_0.2.ii allegro_0.2.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs allegro-5 allegro_main-5 allegro_primitives-5 allegro_dialog-5 allegro_image-5 allegro_ttf-5 allegro_color-5 allegro_font-5`
echo "*** starting compiler step... ***"
g++ -Wall -Wextra -dP -ggdb -S allegro_0.2.ii -o allegro_0.2.s `pkg-config --cflags --libs allegro-5 allegro_main-5 allegro_primitives-5 allegro_dialog-5 allegro_image-5 allegro_ttf-5 allegro_color-5 allegro_font-5`
echo "*** starting linker step... ***"

#./allegro1

Thanks in advance for input.

Hmmm, I think the display is kind of important. My guess might be that you should create the display before some other stuff... Not sure that should matter. Does the program work properly until a key is pressed?

As a side note, its rare to output preprocessed source or assembly. Shouldn't hurt, but a bit strange. Typically people save the objects (-c), but that's to save recompiling them. Just curious what the rationale is.

The GDB error suggests you're trying to step into code that you don't have source/debug symbols for. Are you trying to step into third party code?

I'm not sure what SCIM is...

If I don't open the textlog window and the display window at the same time
the error message disappears.
I think when I need info that now goes into the textlog window I'll write it into a textfile
or I display the textlog after I've closed the display. Then I <al_rest> long enough to take a screenshot.

The program works properly. The message is written when the instruction pointer leaves main at the <}>.

SCIM is an input method. I use it to write in Japanese on my German keyboard.
Edit: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).

About the 3-step compile-link sequence: I want to see all the structures I included
from the header files. It was nice when I immediately found out why ALLEGRO_DIRECT3D
didn't work as display flag. It was renamed to ALLEGRO_DIRECT3D_INTERNAL
in my version (5.2.2.0)
So the documentation for <al_set_new_display_flags> isn't correct for my version.
I'll remove the step that gives me the assembler code because I'm not good at reading assembler, anyway.
