(VBScript) Using DebugLogFilePath to Debug a Crash

If a crash is suspected to occur within a Chilkat method call, it can be debugged using the VerboseLogging and DebugLogFilePath as shown here.

' If a crash is suspected to occur within a Chilkat method call, it can be debugged using the VerboseLogging and DebugLogFilePath as shown here.
' 
' NOTE: The same technique applies for any Chilkat class that has the DebugLogFilePath property.
' Most Chilkat classes have DebugLogFilePath.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2")
set crypt = CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

' First make sure VerboseLogging is turned on.
crypt.VerboseLogging = 1

' Set the DebugLogFilePath to the path of a log file that will be created automatically.
' If the file already exists, Chilkat will append to it.
crypt.DebugLogFilePath = "c:/someDir/debugLog.txt"

' Reproduce the problem.

' ...
success = crypt.VerifyP7M("c:/someDir/someFile.p7m")
' ...

' If a crash occurred within Chilkat, then the debugLog.txt will contain information that
' can be sent to support@chilkatsoft.com

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Note: Given that the debug log file is always appended, the log file might grow 
' to a very large size.  You can prevent the continual growth of the log file by
' deleting the log file at certain points, such as after a Chilkat method returns.
' 
' Given that we're only interested in the log file for Chilkat calls that crash or hang,
' it's OK to delete the log file after a Chilkat method that returns.
' 
' The next call to a Chilkat method will re-create the log file.  If the Chilkat call crashes
' or hangs, then you'll be left with just the log of the crash or hang.
