Cancel compile resulted in blue screen of death on windows
« on: March 11, 2013, 05:54:54 am »
Version: Release 12.11 rev 8629

I started to full rebuild of my project and realized I had it set to the wrong target. I then pressed cancel build and got a blue screen of death on windows.

Host OS is Window Vista 64-bit will all patches applied.

If it happens again any logs I should post?

I had a similar problem on a Vista machine where my graphics card would crash whenever I'd interrupt a build.

It would occur under certain other situations where two different termination requests or interrupts were trying to kill a process at the same time -- thus I suspect it's an OS or driver bug rather than a C::B issue.  Still, if C::B is sending two kill requests that might be why it triggers the problem in the first place.

The only bluescreens that I've ever seen in my life were due to incompatible hardware (PC built by expert PC builders, with RAM not supported by the motherboard), and when switching the BIOS to AHCI without enabling AHCI in Windows first.

Code::Blocks doesn't do anything that might possibly cause a bluescreen under normal conditions.

@cellulose: Sending two termination requests (which Code::Blocks doesn't do) is a legitimate thing to do, which must work reliably (and does work reliably) on a non-broken computer.
