Sounds like the project pointer used is invalid...
Although I can't reproduce it, can you try the following?

In src/plugins/compilergcc/compilergcc.cpp:1234, there is this code:

Code Select Expand

    if (m_Project)
        m_Project->SetActiveBuildTarget(GetTargetString(m_TargetIndex));


Replace it with this:

Code Select Expand

    if (Manager::Get()->GetProjectManager()->GetActiveProject())
        Manager::Get()->GetProjectManager()->GetActiveProject()->SetActiveBuildTarget(GetTargetString(m_TargetIndex));


Test it out for a while (a day or two) and if the crash is gone tell me to commit it.

This fix seems to have done the job.

I noticed that the original problem occured while I was building a large project with a lot of targets and switching back and forth without doing an intervening save.

thanks, it saved a lot of time.

It makes me think of a bug I submitted to BerliOS :
https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&group_id=5358&bug_id=9655

I had a crash switching from a project to another one during debug sesion.

The difference is that I switched from a project to another instead of a target to another but context and crash are very similar...

I think you'll find that bug fixed here:

debugger stop button on Linux console pgm crashes CB

It's caused by a "delete m_pDirver" being called while data is still in the GDBOuput queue.

I made the fix for Linux only, but there's no reason it wouldn't work for XP.
It's a temporary fix until mandrav decides how he wants to handle it.

Ok, thanks.
It was on Windows SP2.

If you think it's the same problem (and it looks), "my" bug should be closed...

I can't do it.

I think we should let Yiannis make that decision.

I don't think my fix encompases all the possible ramifications of delaying the GDB_Driver close.

But it will allow us to stop/restart/continue/switch/close while debugging a console task with no crashes.

He'll know better than I.
