Ah yes the compiler messages of MicroFocus COBOL !!! - miss one full-stop (period) and you would get 1000's of errors. Deep joy.

The Zortech C compiler was a bit like that with any syntax mistake (like missing a semicolon or for sure a brace): look at the first error and ignore the other 200 it generated.
|
|
|
|
|
All C compilers are probably like that... even MINGW and MSVC does this till today...
By far, only tcc gives good compile time errors!!

Hahahaha...Reminds me of a COBOL program I wrote in high school. I tried to write a COBOL without the temporary storage. I tried to go from the input field directly to the output field. My one (or two) page program generated 200 pages of error messages.

Hoa!  Well I never programmed any of OS/* or COBOL... But this one looks insane
|
|

|

But usually you got an error code and, if didn't helped, a dump which could be analysed. I got mostly 0C7 errors

Do you work in the Department of Redundancy department?
ABEND means "Abnormal End" ... there was no "Abnormal ABEND".

Hi there, I know what abend means I'm merely stating the error message I received on many occasions.

Is this the same like BYOD? What I really like is BYOB (bring your own bottle)
|
|
|
|
|
In my circles BYOB would definitely be an exception. Except as a present.

Not an exception but with the same flavour.
During windows start-up device detection:
"Keyboard error or no keyboard present."
and below the well known
"Press F1 to continue or ESC to enter SETUP."

Well this is the one I was always facing in my old Celeron box
|
|

That is so you fix the problem (i.e. plug in a keyboard) before trying to use the computer.

My keyboard (PS/2) was plugged in already... what else shall I do??
That time my head grows hot and " Mr COMPUTER, HOW MANY DAMN KEYBOARDS DO YOU WANT??"

0xC0000005, aka Windows access violation. Detection is nowhere near the place in your source code that caused the problem, and the actual cause usually has nothing to do with an attempt to access any kind of protected object.

Agreed, the Access Violation errors are the absolute worst.

Oh, just remembered another one:
"<unknown> had detected an error in <unknown>,
<unknown> will now close."

When things go wrong, even the worst exception is better than no exception.

"the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect"
This one gives me nightmares because so far I have been unable to troubleshoot it. The application refuses to start, that's it. No clue on what DLL was missing/of invalid type or whatsoever. Quite efficiently contributes to the arcane mysteries of .NET technology.
One more instance of what harold aptroot said.

Check into sxstrace. It generates a log of all side-by-side library loads, reporting what library versions were checked and which were loaded (or not found). Totally useless for C# though, but useful for native code.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
