annoying crash when debugging CC's auto-suggestion

[p2rkw]

The autocomplete window in Scintilla is created each time but not destroyed.

Sorry, but I can't argee with that.
Here's how ListBox is created:

Code Select Expand

void AutoComplete::Start(Window &parent, int ctrlID,
int position, Point location, int startLen_,
int lineHeight, bool unicodeMode, int technology) {
/* C::B begin */
// if (active) {
// Cancel();
// }
/* C::B end */
lb->Create(parent, ctrlID, location, lineHeight, unicodeMode, technology);
lb->Clear();
"lb->clear" calls ListBoxImpl::Create, here is part of it's implementation:

Code Select Expand


/* C::B begin */
   if (wid == 0)
       wid = new wxSCIListBoxWin(GETWIN(parent.GetID()), ctrlID, location_);
   else if (GETLBW(wid)->GetParent() != GETWIN(parent.GetID()))
       GETLBW(wid)->Reparent(GETWIN(parent.GetID()));
   GETLBW(wid)->SetPosition(wxPoint(location_.x,location_.y));
   GETLBW(wid)->SetId(ctrlID);
   GETLB(wid)->SetId(ctrlID);
/* C::B end */
If window wasn't destroyed it will be reused.

At first I thought "How could I make so horrible mistake", but I look deeper into code and it's not so bad

Hi, p2rkw, I just see a very similar crash issue happens (see the discussion in Re: The 22 March 2014 build (9744) is out.).

I think it is much like the one I reported.

Sorry that your patch is lost for one year. I think we need to fix them.

(Another question is: how to build C::B which can link to a debug version of wxWidgets library, so that I can see/track the messages more clearly, currently, gdb's bt command always stop at [debug]#17 0x00e7ff27 in wxEvtHandler::ProcessEventIfMatches(wxEventTableEntryBase const&, wxEvtHandler*, wxEvent&) () from E:\code\cb\cleantrunk\src\devel\wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll)

Build options->Custom variables and probably you should define some wxdebug macros...

Today, I build the C::B which link against wx2.8.12 debug library to hunt a bug in Re: The 22 March 2014 build (9744) is out., here is the simple patch
