Function to generate a GPF error at runtime

Hi,
Is there any function to generate a GPF error in xHarbour/FWH ?

I already took a look at xHarbour XDN and I have found the forcegpf() function but it is provided into an "application.prg" file that I have not found into the xHarbour source.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Marco Turco

Hi

Out of academic interest I want to know that what is the need to force generation of GPF Error in an application ?

Ramesh,

Basically is to check if the application properly controls it when it happens.

The Harbour/xHarbour builds that we provide have GPF control, so you can see at least the callslist stack to help you locate where the GPF comes from.
