Invalid Pointer Operation

phyllis.helton_1150 · August 10, 2015, 8:34am

I’ve been getting a lot of invalid pointer operation errors in the TOAD beta. I’m on the latest beta, and this last time I got the error, I just had two tabs open in the Editor. I have about three sql statements I’m running, making slight modifications to, and then running again. I’m basically doing research on why the one SQL statement isn’t returning data, so I’ll run a query from one of the tables to find a record that should be showing up in my query, then query the next table in the SQL, then run the SQL to see if my changes are showing up. After going back and forth between the SQL statements, all in the same editor tab, I get the invalid pointer error. At this point, my only hope is to kill TOAD and restart it and go through the same process again.

Interesting. I just killed TOAD, restarted it, pasted in my various SQL statements and run the one and immediately got an AV. I’ve attached the latest el file.

Let me know if I can provide more details for you to help pin this down.

Blessings,

Phyllis

Your error log didn’t make it, please re-post or send it to me. Dale is experiencing an AV as well, it could be the same as his. Also, Code Insight is undergoing some work that could be the culprit.

This Invalid Pointer Operation happened while I was in the Schema Browser, Data tab with a filter. Toad became unresponsive and was “Closed” by Windows as an unresponsive process.

Looks like you had threaded queries enabled. DId you just set a filter and click OK? I tried creating both a valid and invalid filter there, in 64 bit, but unfortunately both worked fine for me.

droeschley_109 · August 11, 2015, 2:24pm

The filter was already set. I just clicked on the table and data tab appeared with the filter (a partition filter). I was going to cancel the operation, but it got cancelled for me

Note that the everything is being refreshed twice, in case that factors in in any way.

droeschley_109 · August 11, 2015, 2:25pm

When I restarted Toad, went to the same table, the data displayed just fine with that same filter in effect.

JohnDorlon · August 11, 2015, 2:28pm

Oh, yeah, the double refresh could definitely have something to do with it. Has there not been a beta since I said that was fixed, or did it not fix?

droeschley_109 · August 11, 2015, 2:34pm

You reported it fixed on 8/4 but I haven’t seen a new beta release since then. .14 was released on 8/3.

JohnDorlon · August 11, 2015, 2:39pm

OK. I just pulled the latest beta and still see the double-refresh too (but not the error). We’re got a beta planned for tomorrow, so let me know if it still happens after that.
