Program doesn't always fully close Topic is solved

[miclus]

A rare occurrence, but sometimes when I close my program, it keeps the process under task manager. It doesn't crash or anything, just leaves it there though. My OnExit() function does this:

Code: Select all

int MeltdownApp::OnExit()
{

    wxSocketBase::Shutdown();    		
    GeoIP_delete(gcountry);    
    GeoIP_delete(gfull); 
   
    return wxApp::OnExit();
   
}

Hi miclus!

I guess when you are shutting down you have the socket connected. Do actually disconnected try calling Destroy() or Close() before deleting.

Code: Select all

int MeltdownApp::OnExit()
{

    mySocket->Destroy();//Destroy() calls Close() also.                   
    GeoIP_delete(gcountry);   
    GeoIP_delete(gfull);
   
    return wxApp::OnExit();
   
}

Hi. The shutdown I do is just to match the Initialize I do in OnInit. But, other sockets get destroyed before closing.

Have you checked *where* your program termination hangs?

I have the same problem. The debugger shows, it hangs in the exit from the CRT (in a WinAPI call).

I never found what's causing this, so I call TerminateProcess(). Ugly, but works...

Ok, I haven't had this issue in a long while, so it's probably gone.
