#8422: Assertion in win32::WaitForSingleObject()
-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------
Reporter: robert.stewart@⦠| Owner: anthonyw
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: thread
Version: Boost 1.53.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: assertion basic_timed_mutex win32 WaitForSingleObject |
-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------
I get the following assertion when I used Ctrl-C on an app:
`Assertion failed: win32::WaitForSingleObject(
sem,::boost::detail::win32::infinite)==0, file
...\boost\thread\win32\basic_timed_mutex.hpp, line 79`
Examination of that line of code reveals that the error handling is
insufficient. `WaitForSingleObject()` can return `WAIT_ABANDONED` if the
lock is held when the owning thread is released. In non-debug builds,
this means the code falls through to the next statement in such cases,
whereas in debug `BOOST_VERIFY` reports an error. Either way,
`WAIT_ABANDONED` should be handled.
