Hi, After some years I noticed that a possible reason for my app very
occasionally crashing when it terminates *could* be this:
I have a window with an OnIdle event handled with the (dummy) code:
sub OnIdle {
my( $this, $event ) = @_;
$event->Skip(1);
}
Normally the app is running without a console window (on Windows), but
by complete chance I noticed an error message which read something like:
Can't call Skip on an undefined value. Didn't write it down at the time
(yes, yes I know), but my memory of the error was that it looked more
like an error internal to Wx than something that I could trap with an
"if ($event)"?
The error would only be triggered during app closedown and I guess I
have no idea how to reliably reproduce this, nor exactly which versions
of Wx would be affected, so really it's more of a heads up in case
someone wanted to stare at the code a little... In a nutshell it's
*possible* that there is a bug caused with some kind of re-entrancy of
the OnIdle event while the window/app is closing...
Sorry, not all that helpful, but thought it useful to post something
than nothing
(The code is now removed from my app - can't remember why it was even
there - obviously was planning something interesting that never got
coded...)
Thanks for the wonderful WxPerl
