Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2024 10:22 am Post subject: Debugging from Plato calls a touchpad driver |
|
|
When debugging a program like the following from Plato, both with Checkmate and with the Debug option, an empty window appears with the name of a driver file (C:\Program Files\Apoint2K\Apntex.exe) for the touchpad (Alps pointing device) of the notebook used. Is this intentional?
Code: | PROGRAM CM
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER :: I, J=1
DO I=1,5
WRITE(*,*) J
J=J+1
END DO
END PROGRAM CM |
Notes:
- This only happens after a fresh start of the Windows 11 operating system, only with the 32bits option Win32 and only with the "Integrate with SDBG/SDBG64" option checked under Plato > Tools > Settings > Miscellaneous.
- The Apntex.exe driver file has been checked by virustotal.com and found not to be a virus.
- FTN95 version is 9.03.0.0.

I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour. You could try using SDBG directly rather than from Plato. |

jib,
I don't have Win11 or Apoint2K installed on my PC.
Does your experience imply that Apoint2K\Apntex identifies an unsatisfied (symbol or .dll?) in your path list ?
Could this imply that for running FTN95, your path list needs to be re-ordered ?
Or could it imply that this symbol was identified when Plato or Sdbg was built ?
I would like to know how this symbol/link was identified. |

No, it doesn't. During a reboot, the driver starts normally and remains resident (visible in the task manager).

No, the FTN95 compiler can be called from any subdirectory of the computer within a DOS prompt without changing the path list.

Maybe Plato/SDBG is trying to access the driver in a way that it doesn't "understand" and therefore opens these empty windows. |
