Hi,
there's the problem that after ending my debugging session the
previously debugged executable seems to be still 'in use by something' -
at least, in the course of a subsequent (debug) build the linker
complains that it cannot write the executable anew because 'access [is]
denied'.
The problem occurs repeatedly every 3-5 debug sessions (estimated).
My tools (freshly installed) and platform:
- Eclipse 3.3 'Europa'
- MinGW 3.4.2
- GDB 5.2.1.1 (as downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82721,
so it's most probably a version modified(?) for MinGw)
- Windows XP
- Dual core Intel processor
My questions:
Did anybody experience similar problems?
Which is the process to kill (using task manager) in order to 'free'
executable?
Have a nice day,
Ulrich
Problem solved.
I used ProcessExplorer's
(http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/ProcessExplorer.zip, thanks to
Vincent Torri for the right hint at the right time :) search feature and
searched for the 'handle or
DLL substring' 'myExecutable' - what did i find?
'TeaTimer' (the resident part of Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org))
held three handles to 'myExecutable.exe'. Well, terminating that
'TeaTimer' released the handles and the problem had been solved.
Who would have thought of such a coincidental interaction...
Have a nice day,
Ulrich
