[OT] Debug suggestion
Message 1 in thread
Hi, i have the following problem
I developed a windows app with qt4 and the main widget is registered as a
desktopbar (a microsoft widget like the classic bar at the bottom of the
desktop) with the OS.
In this bar there is an activeqt object that embeds IE. (dont ask you dont
want to know.... trust me)
however the problem... application simply 'exits' at some point or at least
that is what i came to think.
If i keep it running from morning to noon, it just runs fine, but if i let
it run all night long the morning after i find that:
1) the bar is no more responsive and/or gui updated
2) no error in log or in VS output window
3) VS still perfectly running
4) 'pausing' in VS and looking at call stack, shows not a single qt call
I thought that it could be the standby of the computer or the screensaver
(who knows?) but then disabled both and nothing changes, network traffic
seems just fine till it stops.
question 1: if the app crashed (i.e. segfault or whatever) why the VS is
perfectly happy and thinks the app is still running fine?
queastion2: anyone can suggest me a way to reproduce, track down this bug?
besides just starting at the screen for more than 10 hrs? :)
thanks a lot
