Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Assertion Error

1 New Member
Hello all. First off, I am not a programmer so this question is not related to a problem that I created myself.

I am not quite sure what is going on, but I do know that C++ is screwing up. Now I am not sure on what exactly triggers the error, but when I try to install some programs on my computer and use them or visit certain websites, Firefox will throw an error.

Here is what the error box is telling me:

Assertion failed!

Program: ...rogram Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox .exe
File: ../../../src/share/native/sun/font/t2k/t2kstrm.c
Line: 132

Expression: pos < = t- > maxPos

For more information on how your program can cause an assertion failure. see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts

(Press Retry to debug the application - JIT must be enabled)

If it is a program that I am using and not Firefox, the program will be listed instead of Firefox.

I am given 3 buttons, Abort, Retry, Ignore. All 3 of them end up crashing Firefox or the program that I am trying to use.

Judging from the file directory structure it has something to do with fonts, but I have re-downloaded and installed the newest C++ library on my computer a few times trying to fix the problem.

Can any of you figure out what is going on and maybe supply a fix?

Hi all, I'm afraid this is the second posting of this information as I didn't get a response on the previous post.

Having only recently migrated across from VB6 to VB.NET I'm still unsure whether or not I should be making (heavy) use of the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace in new applications. I've read a lot of posts in the (VB).Net newsgroups and seen just about all of the For and Against arguments i.e. not using it = not coding in VB.NET, not using it = good OO. I'm also aware of the difference between this namespace and the compatibility namespace....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
