Re: Warning: Couldn't restore frame in current thread

[Holger Vogt <hl212vo@uni-duisburg.de>]

Hi,

the problem is identified:

when I issue the command "info thread" in the console window, the warning message
appears (only once, when I use this command again without leaving the console window, it
will not show up a second time). If I leave the console window and enter it again, it
will again appear.

Some time ago I had opened the window "Processes" (via "View" and "Thread list" in the
Source window), which has the effect that every time the process is stepped further, the
warning message appears.

Close the Processes Window, and the warning message is gone.


I have downloaded the recent snapshot. Compilation stopped with an error and the
following message:

Adding a line
#undef VOID
as line 41 in winnt.h solved the problem (probably not a useful general patch!?). This
also happened with the July 2000 Insight sources, so it may be a compatibility problem
with the new CYGWIN.
