Query on Glib 2.72 compatibility with Visual Studio 2012 Application

Hi,

Recently, we have integrated Glib 2.72 version on our application which is built on VS2012. We are facing some issues recently with this application. Our application is crashing at ucrtbase.dll

Could you please help us to understand, can this Glib 2.72 version is compatible with VS 2012 ?

Thanks

Hi @Hemanth!

Yes, GLib 2.72 fully supports VS2012. However VS2012 uses its own runtime library (msvcr110.dll) and not the UCRT (ucrtbase.dll). The UCRT is used starting with VS2015. Perhaps an other dependency is built with a newer VS version.

Could you get a Call Stack for the crash? See:

Thank you very much for the response! Please find the Exception stack details as mentioned below:

The stacktrace does not contain many info, but looksnlike a secondary thread is awaken to process a notification, and then tries to spin the GLib main loop. However a GMainContext can be used only from one thread at a time. I suggest using g_idle_add from the notification handler. g_idle_add queues a callback to be executed on the main thread. From the callback you can do anything with the GLib main loop safely

See GLib.idle_add
