HxD 2.0.0.0 - "Random" invalid handle error after searching or opening file

Post by GJoe »

Your second post describes a bug unrelated to the first, right? And is it really system error 6, or runtime error 6?

Yes.

System Error 6.
After several testing (or many time using it), that error happen after "On-Find-Something".
But it randomly. Sometime I got that error, sometime itsn't.
Sometime, that error has additional text, like "Can not find dll".
Sometime, that error happen after I close file opened by HxD.

I think thats all I can tell right now.

Testing. I let you now, @Maël, if there is something wrong with it.

Thanks. I haven't fixed this bug, though. So if it is gone, that would be weird.

Oh, I though with new build date, something has been fix.
Fix or not, I'm using this new build for daily usage.
BTW, may I know why you decide to compile it again?

You're using pascal/lazarus right?

The new build adds a small change, that allows hex numbers (such as in the goto dialog) to contain spaces (when they are pasted from the clipboard).

I use Delphi for HxD.
What's wrong with the current manifest?

What's wrong with the current manifest?
<file name="kernel32.dll" loadFrom="%SystemRoot%\System32\kernel32.dll"/>
-> To avoid DLL redirection. For example If I put "msimg32.dll" in HxD directory, HxD will load "msimg32.dll" from "HxD directory" instead from "%SystemRoot%\System32". But if I put those manifest code into HxD, "msimg32.dll" will always load from "%SystemRoot%\System32".

For 64-bit build, maybe Its minimum running OS is Windows Vista. Since its vista maybe using this user right manifest -> <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">.
For 32-bit build, Minimum OS is Windows XP SP3. Since its XP maybe with this user right manifest -> <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">.
What do you think?

Its just an idea, you know.

I split off your first post into a separate topic, so the discussion stays clear. The first bug report/post is the same as the one in the following link and was merged: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=853

Regarding this random invalid handle error, it is likely related to accessing a window that is already destroyed, maybe a race condition. I cannot reproduce it yet, it's probably dependent on the order of operations, and usage of mouse vs. keyboard.

So if you can find exact steps (and their order) to reproduce that would be helpful.
