Hello Yaron,

The problem is generated by a compiler bug. It tries to optimize a little bit too much. ;-)

Either disable optimization, by right clicking on compare in project explorer,
properties -> C/C++ -> all options -> Optimization and change its value

or the preferred way

update your visual studio 2013 to latest version. ;-)

Cheers

Hello Claudia,

You never cease to amaze me.
I take my hat off. Oracle Claudia!

Thank you so much. I’m truly grateful.

Could you please enlighten me and explain briefly how you got it?
I hope it’s not a trade secret. :)

Best regards.

Hello Yaron,

no, it isn’t a trade secret ;-) - but it wasn’t really a clever job, it was just an eliminating process and LUCK.

I only tell you the steps which lead to the finding not the many wasted miserable steps I’ve done before. ;-)

After I didn’t find any obvious issues which could explain reported behavior I thought about the differences of your
and mine environment. After that I setup an windows 7 32 bit with visual studio 2013. Downloaded source and compiled it.
Tested it and it worked. Even more confused as I expected it to fail. Thought about it again and started comparing yours and mine.
Same W7, same VS2013, same source -> different results.
Same W7 (?) -> didn’t install all updates -> didn’t use Hebrew = keep in mind
VS2013 -> same
source-> same, you did even test it with different npp version as I read.
So it must be W7 -> why??? Did a search on the internet about reporting problem with VS2013 and non-english language.
Results, but nothing pointing to such an issue.
Then I did a search about problems with visual studio and having different language. And while scanning the result
I saw one who had an issue installing an update - that’s where I started thinking about different version.
I had VS2013 update 4 already so I gave it a chance and -> compiled the source and tested it -> problem was the same.

You see, no rocket science.

Cheers

Hello Claudia,

Thank you for the explanation. You know, men can get curious too. :)

And now I just can’t help it.
After explaining the process of reasoning leading to her famous deductions, Shirley Holmes’ insights seemed to lose some of their former glamour.
But then on a second thought the shine became even brighter.

Well, I assumed you had performed some searches and tests.
Now that I know the scale of those actions, my gratitude grows and deepens.

And finally, rocket science would be no “rocket science” for you. :)

Best regards.
