Turning off Runtime Check in VC7

Hi

In VC7, there is this compile option /RTCu which helps you detect use of an unintialised variable in debug builds. I tried turning it off in projects properties>C++>Code generation, and rebuilt the solution but the error message still pops up.

Does any one know what I am missing?
Thanks!

The compiler probably detected the uninitialized variable during static checking. Try decreasing the warning level.

Tried that but it didn't work.
Isn't the warning level for compile time errors?

I am referring to a popup while running the program.

Debug Error!
....
Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'x' is being used without being defined.

Sorry, I misunderstood that. I don't know what happened then, unless it's the Visual Studio build engine again that doesn't know what to rebuild.

Try the Rebuild command that does a full rebuild -- it's not on the Build toolbar by default. Also try closing & restarting Visual Studio.

I suppose it goes without saying that you ought to actually fix the problem with your code, as well...

Uh yeah the way to fix that error is to initialize x before you use it...

I didn't managed to figure it out, but I took the advice to make sure the variables are initialised. Thanks for the help.
