Re: [protobuf] tests.exe deleted random files on my computer (Win7 + VS2013)
Protobuf unit-tests will create/delete temporary files for testing purpose. For example: https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/src/google/protobuf/compiler/command_line_interface_unittest.cc#L230 I couldn't think of how it could delete random files though. You can check whether this behavior is reproducible and if it is, debug the binary to find out how this is happening.

So it has all kinds of stuff installed. Not sure if this matters and if this is even the right place to ask (if not, please tell me where to go), but anyway, here is my question/problem: Yesterday I wanted to compile protobuf-2.6.0 into static libraries to use in my project so I read and followed the instructions in \protobuf-2.6.0\vsprojects\readme.txt I opened the protobuf.sln in Visual Studio 2013, it said it needed to run the auto-convert so I clicked yes. After that I tried to build the solution like instructed in the readme, but it failed because of some simultaneous accesses to some file, looked up what I need to do and added the /FS compiler option to every project. Then I ran Rebuild Solution and it worked. Now for the interesting part: From a command shell, run tests.exe and lite-test.exe and check that all tests pass. So I went into the \Debug folder, shift-rightclick Open Command prompt here, entered tests.exe and pressed enter. Everything went well except for two errors that I don't remeber and think are not important because I'm never going to use the features the errors were about anyways. The problem about the whole thing is, after I was done compiling and got back to my main project, I got a lot of errors regarding missing header files. boost.h not found, box2d.h not found etc. So I checked the folders and. a lot of files were gone, but not all of them. The *.lib files of boost for instance were still there, but header files were deleted. Was it a virus? Nope, virus check negative. Malware? Malware check negative. No alerts or anything, except of course the prompt to allow tests.exe to do it's thing. Went into Comodo Internet Securitys Logfiles and found out that tests.exe modified (deleted) a bunch of apparently completely random files! What? Why? How? I don't get it... Luckily windows was able to (almost) restore some of the folders back to their previous state, BUT I don't even know how many or which ones are affected. The only reference that I have is Comodos Logfile, which doesn't seem to list all files that got deleted. For instance it shows C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe was modified by tests.exe, but all other files in that folder were gone EXCEPT Gw2.exe. I have restored a lot of files that were logged, but am not sure if I missed anything and I don't know if the restore option will be available until the day I find out that more files were deleted. I wanna know WHY this happened and if I can find out what else got deleted. Sadly I am not experienced enough to decipher the protobuffer source files and find out where the code is that deleted everything and how it decided which files to delete. Maybe I'm completely wrong about it being tests.exe but I cannot imagine anything else and the files were gone right after I ran it so i guess it has something to do with protobuf. Here is part of the Comodo Logfile as an image since I don't know any site where I could upload an html file: http://oi58.tinypic.com/2469h8i.jpg This is the second time I'm writing this because for some reason the first time I submitted my post nothing happened and I lost my original text and had to rewrite everything.

Re: [protobuf] tests.exe deleted random files on my computer (Win7 + VS2013)
I see the problem now. So the call to TestTempDir() in SetUp() thrown an exception because Comodo Defense+ denied the creation of the temporary directory and then temp_directory_ hadn't been assigned any value but instead left empty. After that the test framework ran TearDown() automatically which called DeleteRecursively() with an empty temp_directory_. As a result the function tried to delete everything under /... I'll send a fix for this. Sorry about the trouble it caused...

Re: [protobuf] tests.exe deleted random files on my computer (Win7 + VS2013)
No problem, at least I'm glad it was not a virus and nothing too important got deleted. Windows was able to restore most but not all files. Could have been worse.
