TITLE : "Unrecoverable Application Error" (UAE)




"Unrecoverable Application Error" messages from a Windows
application are commonly caused by supplying incorrect export
information to the linker for an application's functions.

To check that you are supplying appropriate options to the linker
for your application or DLL, review the section in Chapter 3 of
the User's Guide that deals with exports. This section has a
table with 8 columns describing the possible combinations you
might have used to build your program. If the setup of your
program corresponds to one of the last three columns, chances are
that your program was not built correctly (or, at least, as you
intended). Column 5 corresponds to the 'classical' method of
building windows programs (that is, all exports are declared in
the module definition file ( the .def file )).

The columns that use -WE or -WDE will build 'better' code in the
sense that the compiler will not make 'exportable' any functions
that it does not actually export. However, it is here that many
people will run into problems. If you have any functions
declared as exports in the .def file but the module is compiled
with -WE or -WDE, then you probably have built the program
incorrectly (the function will be exported only if it is preceded
by _export in the source code).

If the offending code is NOT a DLL, it is often possible to
overcome the UAE through the use of "Smart Callbacks" (-WS
option). See pages 112-113 in the User's Guide for more
information on Smart Callbacks.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
