Hi Folks-
Has anyone seen a case where a PtTimer widget stopped
working after a long period of continuous operation (like
months)? Apparently one of our machines stopped refreshing
certain fields on its screen after running correctly for a
significant amount of time. These fields are all driven by
the same PtTimer callback. (I say “apparently” because
the machine got rebooted before I could actually check it
out in person.) Other than that one bug, our GUI
program had continued to run correctly.
FWIW, all of the program’s IPC is handled in an input
function. The program also does some file I/O (using both
file descriptors and file pointers), but doesn’t use a
file-descriptor function. It doesn’t use select(), nor
does it use pipes.
Here’s the output from “sin ver”:
