Author Topic: Runtime error when closing app via console... (Read 2658 times)

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with an app I wrote. when I close the window through the window's close button, it closes fine with no errors, but when I close the window through the console it gives me a runtime error. Normally I wouldn't care about the console but it makes me weary that there might be a memory leak somewhere. Does anyone know how I could fix this? If you need my code I can give it to you.

Don't close it via console, this terminates the application immediately.

Alright, so closing it via console will always cause errors? I find it a bad idea to leave in runtime errors and like my apps to be clean. The error comes only when I close it via console in VC++. In previous apps I've written it worked (possibly because I wrote an OO style engine wrapper?)

If there's no way to fix it that's fine, but I'd like to have it fixed just to please myself (please excuse my perfectionism

You can't expect that terminating (in the sense of aborting) a running process results in proper cleanup. Quit the application in a normal way, just like every other user

This topic is not specific to SFML, by the way.

Ok, thank you. And I wasn't sure if it had to do with SFML or not because the problem was gone when removing my SFML window loop.
