[M3devel] Popup Windows stalling regression tests on WinXP

[Jay]

ps: Olaf, the debugger install is incredibly fast and small.
This isn't Visual Studio.
I get, but hadn't previously considered, that future regressions would hang the machine, so a fix is only "temporary", but hey...maybe a process needs to monitor the tests and kill them if they take too long?
 
SetErrorMode will probably fix this, now that I think more.
We can add a switch to cm3 and it can call that on itself, and it always gets inherited by child processes. Or we can have a trivial wrapper .exe to run the tests, if the switch to cm3 is not liked. But I have to test it out.
Suggest an .exe or switch name? :)
If indeed it is SetErrorMode, I'd do
seterrormode.exe <number> <command line to run...>
Though this is a low level name.
It could be testwrapper.exe or quashpopups.exe.

Yes, this might be it.My x86 Windows machine is out on loan this week, my AMD64 Windows machine needed a reinstall, and I was deep into debugging the AMD64_LINUX problem (on same machine, multi-boot), so I punted. Now I've reinstalled AMD64 Windows and can debug to see what the problem is, to decide if it is quashable..There should be a way without global changes to the machine, but if that's ok, ok. (If this even it.)  - Jay> Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:11:17 +0200> From: wagner at elegosoft.com> To: m3devel at elegosoft.com> Subject: Re: [M3devel] Popup Windows stalling regression tests on WinXP> > Quoting "Daniel Alejandro Benavides D." <dabenavidesd at yahoo.es>:> > > Hi all:> > Olaf, I don't have the Win box here (just a Kubuntu one).
