NewtonDestroy crash

[pHySiQuE]

If I call NewtonDestroy(NewtonCreate()); in a loop, the program crashes after a few seconds. It looks like some kind of thread issue. See attached image:

I know it should not crash, but how are you using something NewtonDestroy(NewtonCreate());
what porpose does that serve other that fragment memory a lot?

I will set a small test to do just that and see if I find the crash

[pHySiQuE]

I was just testing for memory leaks in a loop. I know it's not realistic usage, but it still shouldn't crash.

should something like this

Code: Select all

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
   for (int = 0; i < 100; i ++)
      NewtonDestroy(NewtonCreate());
}

reproduce that error?

I pasted this in the main funtion

Code: Select all

   // start the real time loop, by sending a message that send himself again
   application.addChore(mainWindow, NewtonDemos::ID_CHORE);
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i ++)
   NewtonDestroy(NewtonCreate());

   // Run the application
   return application.run();

and it does not chrashes, should I run it form more iterations?

I should make a VS project to explore this further. I am able to crash it with less than 100 iterations.

I do not know I increase the iterations to 1000, and I still do not get to crash
