unexplainable out of memory (a bug?)

[ysegev]

Hi,

I'm trying to write some VERY simple for a simple 1d experiment. Using LabView 8.2, I have done this using OOP. I have renamed one of my directories and then could not run any of my VIs. The broken arrow massage is "could not compile this vi, out of memory". The error appears in all VI contained in the renamed directory. I have tried to open the vis in a new project, copy them to a new location,reboot etc. but the error remained. The fact that the VIs all worked before, I have tons of memory, the VIs are VERY simple, and that it all started after renaming the directory suggest that perhaps it is not a simple memory problem and perhaps a bug. Does anyone have any idea how to work around this situation?

This may not help much (make sure to try this on a copy, so you don't mess it up anymore) but I've sometimes gotten lucky by opening the lvclass files and messing around with just them open. You could also try mass compiling the project directory (under tools/advanced in LV).

I strongly suggest you setup some form of version control, (I recommend tortoisesvn which is free and fairly easy to setup). I can guarantee you the time spent learning how to use it and actually using it (I'd say anytime you fix a bug or add a feature, be sure to save all first) , will pay for it self many times over. For instance before messing with the file structure I would make sure the project was commited, then when it broke I would just revert back to before I changed it, and try with a different method.

Here's an article on how to setup a svn repository
