Yes, those are the symptoms I'm seeing here.



(there is no
network connection open, that isn't the problem).   There is something
fishy with the python subprocess stuff (on windows.  darwin/linux are fine.)
that I haven't had time to look at.



Any Python win32api experts out there who could look at this?



It looks like you can fix this pretty easily by using subprocess.communicate()
instead of subprocess.wait(), but then you get other problems with
Visual Studio Debug Library Assertion Failure Popups, how to monitor/timeout
the subprocesses, etc.  I created a ticket on this one as well:

Re: [Boost-cmake] popups on windows

2008-06-23 Thread troy d. straszheim

So this handles, uh, 'gpfaulterrorboxes', but it doesn't handle
assertion failure popups that happen when you're compiled Debug and
e.g. pass a null string as the format to sprintf.

Created a ticket on this:

  http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2044

If anybody wants to pitch in and have a look.  My time is tightening up,
July and first half of August are going to be really crazy months.

Okay, so if you call this windows API function:

SetErrorMode( SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX );



Evan sent a way to do this in python to me offline, it appears to work,
checked in, problem solved for now.

Yeah, thanks.  I added my own remark because the reporter is letting
CMake off way too easy IMO.

Thanks.
