I had a similar problem with CW 7.1.1a on XP Pro, which I tracked to an "assert" statement in my code (which is #defined and uses __LINE__) deep in the bowls of a large switch statement. I changed that statement (using a binary search to find it) and have not had CW blow up since. I had identical behavior on CW 6.2 as well. I imagine each crash is likely different however and I was not able to isolate mine to a small program to submit a service request.
What I'd suggest for anyone with similar problems (assuming the error occurs in the compile phase) is as follows:
1. identify the source file that causes the error.
2. cut off the second half of the file at a function boundary with a large #if 0...#endif
3. recompile (you'll certainly get link errors now if you make it past the compile)
4. if you don't get the runtime error, make the #if 0 smaller; otherwise make it bigger.
5. once you've identified the function causing the problem, cut it up with a similar #if 0 inside it until you find the offending line.
6. change the line. :smileyhappy:
I hope this helps. Again, like I said, every runtime error is likely different, so your mileage will vary.
