Stop crashing/freezing while debugging G code and subs

Hello.

I while a go I wrote some G Code which contained various sub routines, and if the program wasn't quite right it froze the controller. This made it painful for debugging as I had to restart and re-home the machine to retest each time I made a correction.

After that I read somewhere there is a setting which allows a G Code prog to run and if there is an error, it alerts, but doesn't crash out, for debugging purposes.

I simply cannot find the reference for that setting again...

Can someone help me out please?

Thanks,
Marty.

Thanks Chris.

No unfortunately that is not it. The functionality was that with a broken g code prog it would simply error out rather than freeze/ crash the entire control. In this way the line it crashed on could be modified without having to restart LCNC.

I wonder if I am trying to recall a certain component of the Features bit mask which does this? Having said that I cannot find the bit mask definitions anywhere aside from 1 through 16.

I found it I think:
(Excerpt)

To make these errors non-fatal warnings on stderr, set bit 0x20 in the [RS274NGC]FEATURE= mask ini option.

0x20 being 32
Although I have found a comment in my ini file that 44 is the correct setting.

I am also unsure whether there is a typo in the above excerpt as in my ini file it is FEATURES rather than the singular as written above...

Cheers everyone :)

I should find somewhere in the docs for that...
Was this remap ? just sub code?

At the very bottom of the "o codes doc" (section 10, errors) is the quoted excerpt

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/o-code.html

Deeper info is within the replies to an earlier question I posted on the forums asking the same question (which I finally re-found...).

forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...-o-code-fatal-errors

Cheers
Marty.
