KiTTY crashing

jan - Mon 17/11/2014 16:58:48 CET +0100

Hi,

I`m using Win7 Ultimate SP1 with latest fixes from MS, and while trying to start KiTTY session it often crashes. So I must start session for 5-10 times sometimes, sometimes it goes on first click on "Open" button.

Previous versions before 0.63.1.5p worked fine...

How should I help you to debug this problem ?

Don't forget to remove hyperlink patch support:
[KiTTY]
hyperlink=no
It seems the regex library has a memory leak

Hi,

thanks for tip.
Now when I press "Open" it fails the same amount of time, but "start" seems to work (crashes are really sporadically).

I'm re-written the hyperlink patch part that managed the regular expressions.
I've finally decided to use GNU libregex.a instead of the "buggy" specific code !
Can you try the beta build at http://www.9bis.net/kitty/data/beta/kitty.exe

Hi,

I`ve tested but throws following error on connecting to IPv4 address:

The following error occured when compiling the regular expression
for the hyperlink support.... blah blah blah
Ivalid range end

That means the issue is fix: KiTTY does not crash anymore, even if the regex is not valid.
Now you just have to modify your sessions settings to set a correct regex.
For example:
((https?|ftp):\/\/)?(www\.)?([a-zA-Z0-9-]{2,}\.){1,4}[a-zA-Z]{2,6}(:[0-9]{2,})?(\/[a-zA-Z0-9-]*)*[/]?(\?[ \n\r]*)?
