9.0 Crashes Constantluy

[Bob Sneidar]

This is the same issue I have been talking about for over a year. The standalone builder opens the *copied* stacks in memory and doesn't close them, so the next time you build for another platform you run into duplicate stack issues. This started happening around v7 I think. The workaround at present is to build for one platform only, and quit LC each time. I suppose you could have a script that purges the openStacks and unregisters any libraries (stacksInUse) but that would cause plugin issues, unless you accounted for those.

I notice that when I build my standalone, it loads all of the stacks in the “Stacks” list (in standalone settings. Also, I use a splash stack approach) and leaves them in memory. So, when I want to do a debug after building and trying the standalone, I have all of my stacks loaded and it interferes with my workflow. I’d really like the project to return to the state I started with. It also seems to run scripts in my project which sets various globals. Note: I have implemented Panos’ suggestion to test for the mode of stack “revStandaloneProgress”.  I have a script that returns the project to it’s initial state, but to be safe, I find this behavior forces me to quit livecode and reload it, to make sure my project is returned to its initial state for continued debugging.
