Board index » cppbuilder » Disabling CodeGuard cauuse application runtime error [list index out of bounds]

This is an odd one. I have an application that runs fine if CodeGuard is
enabled for the project, everything ticked. However, if I disable it,
recompile and then run I almost immediately get a runtime error: list index
out of bounds -1.
I cannot think of any reason why leaving CodeGuard enabled would suppress a
bug in my code, if that's what it is. Any idea what's going on? CodeGuard
reports no problem with the application when it is enabled. I can post code
samples if that would be of any use.
Thanks.

disabling CodeGuard and building again does not make a difference. Are there
any other files I could safely delete [pre-compiled headers are already set
to None]? BTW forgot to mention this is C++ Builder 6 Enterprise patched to
update4.

IIRC, CodeGuard zeroes out the memory when you allocate memory and fills it
with patterns when you free it. So it essentially does your initialization
for you. Removing it simply puts it to an unknown state.
