Hello,
I'm trying to build a minimal screensaver in Windows XP, see code at
http://www.osix.net/modules/article/?id=538 . It builds and links with no errors with -Wall, but the window just doesn't open. Debugging doesn't help either -- the code is never reached as the spawned child probably doesn't call the required functions:
---------------
(gdb) break 1
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401290: file main.cpp, line 1.
(gdb) run
Starting program: something.exe
gdb: do_initial_child_stuff: process 2796
gdb: kernel event for pid=2796 tid=3592 code=CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT)
gdb: child_resume.SetThreadContext: thread 2796.0xe08
ContinueDebugEvent (cpid=2796, ctid=3592, DBG_CONTINUE);
gdb: kernel event for pid=2796 tid=3592 code=LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT)
gdb: child_resume.SetThreadContext: thread 2796.0xe08
ContinueDebugEvent (cpid=2796, ctid=3592, DBG_CONTINUE);
... LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT repeats ...
ContinueDebugEvent (cpid=2796, ctid=3592, DBG_CONTINUE);
gdb: kernel event for pid=2796 tid=3592 code=EXCEPTION_DEBUG_EVENT)
gdb: Target exception EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT at 0x7c901230
gdb: child_resume.SetThreadContext: thread 2796.0xe08
ContinueDebugEvent (cpid=2796, ctid=3592, DBG_CONTINUE);
gdb: kernel event for pid=2796 tid=3592 code=EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT)
Program exited normally.
ContinueDebugEvent (cpid=2796, ctid=3592, DBG_CONTINUE);
gdb: child_close, inferior_ptid=3592
---------------
Debugging works for other Win32 applications in C::B.
I have no more ideas what to try, any help much appreciated.
