Mystery PCW error when compiling

[rabarton]

When I compile the code, a CCS C error window pops up and says:
"Invalid line or paragraph index."
By repeating this and trying to capture the screen right before the error occurs, I can tell that the error happens after the "Linking" line comes up, and after it says "Writing project.COD".
I've changed very little since my last succesful compile. I'll go back and grab some old revisions of code to try them again. In the meantime, any suggestions?

I did a web search and a usenet archive search on that line,
and there's not very much information available.

Apparently, it's related to Delphi, which is probably what
the PCW IDE is written in.

Some articles in usenet say that it shows up on slow systems.
So that makes me wonder if you're running on a network drive ?
That might slow it down, and cause the problem.

I'm running on a standalone PC that is over 1 GHz. Don't know what speed exactly, but from the sound of it it's fast enough to not be the problem.

I did try save, close, open and try to compile again and that didn't solve anything. I found the problem right before leaving work so I didn't get a chance to reboot my entire machine and try again. I had been running the program for several days w/out a reboot, so maybe a memory leak or some other problem has caused this to come up. I'll try again Mondayc morning. Until then if you see/find anything else please send it my way.

Thanks for the effort!

Tried a reboot, no good... I was in the process of trying new projects with the same code, etc. and found a .err file in the project directory. Its contents:
Error[112] c:\...\include.c 1043 : Function used but not defined: rb_isr
I had used an #IFDEF block to selectively include this function, but reversed the logic. I needed an #IFNDEF there. I fixed this and now everything works as planned.
Don't know why this didn't come up in the compiler window, but at least I found it!
