Error code -1

[Pinpoint]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what Error code -1 (XFFFFFFFF) means ?
My prog just exits the debugger immediately I run it. I cannot trace it to see what is going wrong.
Thanks.

This is the exception value for an unhandled exception that caused the process to terminate - it can means a lot of things.
Try to use signal and exceptions handling - it helps sometimes:
//On program begin
signal( SIGABRT, mySig);
signal( SIGFPE, mySig);
signal( SIGILL, mySig);
signal( SIGSEGV, mySig);
signal( SIGTERM, mySig);
//Install exception handling
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter( (LPTOP_LEVEL_EXCEPTION_FILTER) MyUnhandledExceptionFilter );
set_unexpected(MyUnexpected);

here mySig, MyUnhandledExceptionFilter and MyUnexpected are Your Functions.

Many C runtime functions and some Win32 API functions return -1 if something has gone wrong. Usually, if a function returns -1, you can check the errno variable or you must call GetLastError ( ) to find out the reason of the failure. The documentation of the function you are using should tell you what to do.
