Hello Mathias,
It took me some time, but I finally found out what was going on with my application when using madExcept and runtime Packages that was returning the ExceptObject as nil when an exception occurred.
So try this :
Create an application with runtime packages that has a button and an event handler for the madExcept.OnException whith some code like this :
procedure TForm1.MadExceptionHandler1Exception(
const exceptIntf: IMEException; var handled: Boolean);
begin
ShowMessage (exceptIntf.ExceptMessage);
Handled := True;
end;
Run it...
When the button is pressed, the exception is thrown and the messagebox shows it correctly
(Raise (Exception.Create ('This is a test!'));).
Now, do the following :
1. Copy the rtl70.bpl file to the same folder where the executable is.
2. UPX the rtl70.bpl file (this will only compress the bpl file).
(http://upx.sourceforge.net/)
3. Now, when you run again the file, it will show "Unknown." instead of the exception.
I have tried this and only madExcept had an odd behaviour when I compress the BPL files.
What can I do to solve this (beside not compressing the BPL file)?
Regards,
Joao Santos
