[CAR#: 252210]

[Update: I just tested this in LabVIEW 2010 SP1 and it seems to be fixed The CAR Number (252210) is also in the list of LabVIEW 2010 Service Pack 1 Bug Fixes. Thanks NI!]

I found an odd LabVIEW 2010 bug that will cause a hard crash. The bug appears to be related to how LabVIEW operates on data in-place and some interaction between clusters, arrays, and the Aum Array Elements node. It's hard to describe verbally, so I'll just draw you a picture

Thanks Jim

I get the crash as well for my 10.0f2 version,

It’sstrange that basic functions like this get changed from one version to another.

I hope they add this VI to their test suite before every released from now on.

Cheers,

Mikael

Mikael: LabVIEW 2010 introduced a variety of new compiler optimizations to take advantage of the new compiler architecture and DFIR. So, it doesn't surprise me too much that there are some issues in corner cases.

It’s very scary if this new compile optimization cangenerate bugs like this. Because that means it can happen on all you code. Hopef3 comes soon J
