Question - IDE Urgent Help Needed: non-zero status (-1073741819)

[IGameArt]

For the past 5 or so months, I've been the sole developer working with Imagos Softworks to rebuild the game Starr Mazer DSP from the ground up in Game Maker Studio 2.

Everything was going great until yesterday I got the dreaded Runner.exe Exited with non-zero status (-1073741819) after messing with a couple of lines related to audio. I've since changed the lines I was messing with, commented out, deleted, added new lines, but nothing is working to get this compiling again. I fear that it's a bug in the compiler as I'm having issues with some of my other projects as well. Not all, but some. I've reinstalled GMS and rebooted my computer countless times. My code has no errors in it, it was compiling just fine until it decided to stop. Unfortunately thanks to NDA I'm not allowed to share any of my 30,000 lines of code, and thanks to the nature of the non-zero status error, I'm also not allowed to know where in my own code lies the problem.

Compiling with YYC I do get the following information however:

I have a very tight deadline, If I can't get this issue fixed soon, I'll be forced to start over from my last backup and lose days of work, that's close to another thousand lines of code down the drain.

Can anybody make sense of that block of errors?

Have you looked at your objEnemySmasher object? This line seems to indicate the error is in there:
Z:/StarrMazer_96D6795E_221BB955/StarrMazerDSP/default/Scripts/gml_Object_objEnemySmasher_Other_12.gml.cpp:48:10: error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'YYRValue'
YYRValue __arg22087__(YYGML_event_user(pSelf,pOther,6));

I can't remember what event the Other_12.gml relates to, but you could go looking at that file on your pc and open it in notepad to see which one it is before looking at it properly in the IDE.

Is it also possibly this:

local_arg=;

If local_arg is a variable that you have set up, then that does not look like it is defined properly (nothing being assigned to it).

 

[YellowAfterlife]

In objEnemySmasher's User Defined 2 event you have a line like

some_func(event_user(6))

but event_user returns nothing, so YYC is upset about your actions.

 

[IGameArt]

Okay so I've corrected the issue with objEnemySmasher, and I'm left with the following error:

Z:/StarrMazer_96D6795E_65565E2D/StarrMazerDSP/default/Scripts/gml_Script_script_execute_ext.gml.cpp:22:11: error: expected expression
local_arg=;

Could this line be causing the problem?

var arg=argument;

EDIT: I've changed that line to a small code block that cycles through the arguments array and builds a new one using those entries instead of trying to just copy the argument array with the line arg=argument, but now the compiler crashes the non-zero status. Here's my full compiler output:

[YellowAfterlife]

Could this line be causing the problem?

Well, yes - `argument` is not an array in the usual sense

EDIT: I've changed that line to a small code block that cycles through the arguments array and builds a new one using those entries instead of trying to just copy the argument array with the line arg=argument, but now the compiler crashes the non-zero status. Here's my full compiler output:

It's nice to show what the code looks like when you say that you wrote code and it crashes

 

[IGameArt]

var arg;
var count = argument_count;
for (var i = 0; i<count; i++){
    arg[i]=argument[i];
}

EDIT:
This is odd, I've moved the code from a backup copy where I was just working, to the main project and I tried compiling again and I'm getting tons of errors just like this one:

Z:/StarrMazer_96D6795E_221BB955/StarrMazerDSP/default/Scripts/gml_Script_DSPPlayerApplyDamage.gml.cpp:66:21: error: no matching function for call to 'YYGML_ds_grid_get'
local_shouldDie=!(((YYGML_ds_grid_get((int)((int)/* First usage */sself_hPoints.asReal()),YYGML_CallLegacyFunction(pSelf,pOther,__ret1__,1,g_FUNC_round.val,__pArg3946__).asReal(),0)).asReal() > 0.5 ));

Oddly, all of my ds_grid_get calls are structured properly. I'm not sure what this is referencing other than maybe the compiler is generating syntax errors in it's compiled code. This is of course still with the YYC compiler.

When something weird happens with YYC, clear cache or manually remove the Scripts directory from it so that it could re-generate the C++ files.

 

[IGameArt]

I've cleared the cache repeatedly. Where do I go to delete the scripts directory?

That's something else then. Can you show the line of GML code in question and subsequent lines of error where it says what it got and what it expected to get?
