[11.51RC1] Memory corruption/fatal error

[Helix751]

This can't be good. Haven't had any issues like this one until today after installing v11.51RC1 (about 6 hrs ago).

I have no further info about this

The access violation happened because Windows was running out of GDI (graphics device interface) objects, so the creation of a bitmap failed. It's just a read error so not a severe problem. You must be having some kind of leak for this to happen. There is currently no known GDI leak in Total Commander itself, so it must be caused by a plugin or other extension.

Maybe this helps...

In the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC)
Click the Details tab.
Show the GDI Objects column (View -> Select columns)
How many GDI Objects is Everything using? --> tuska: Check -> Total Commander using...
Are there any processes with over 1000?

The cap is around 10000 per process (and there's a global limit of 65536).

I'm keeping an eye on 11.51RC1. Haven't had any issue like this one with previous TC versions, though.

Thanks @tuska for the error log transcript. I forgot to take a copy (was in the middle of urgent work).

Here's the info ProcessExplorer throws for the processes:

Code: Select all

Everything64.exe     < 0.01    278.376 K    310.172 K   5260  Everything               voidtools               136
TOTALCMD.EXE                    11.748 K    36.032 K   29084  Total Commander 32 bit   Ghisler Software GmbH  1.708

The last # is the 'GDI Objects' column.

The per app limit is 10000, so you are still far away from that. Also the allocated memory (36MB) is much less than 2GB, so you should be fine with that too.

I have added code to catch this specific error to RC2, but it's probably difficult to test.
