Exception Thrown When Running From Command Line

gmcbath

First time to use the tool so it's probably something that I'm doing, but can someone help?

I launch Exception Hunter with the following command line:

hunt /a:"PTU.Console.exe" /all /force /mr:"ptu.console.report.html" /vv /net2.0


The tool runs about 1.5 hours then gives the following error message:

Hi,

I'm sorry to see you are having this problem. Because the process is running out of memory, the best recommendation I can think of is just to try to reduce the amount of memory used. From the stack trace, it would seem that the most likely option to change in order to save a bit of memory would be the "ignore code branches" option, which would also implicitly turn off detection for NullReferenceExceptions and InvalidCastExceptions.

Not checking to see that null-reference situations are actually handled by analyzing the code could save quite a bit of time and reducing code branches would reduce the complexity of the static analysis.

Hope this helps!
