Description
Moin Moin.
In MS windows stopping an (MSVC) debug-session kills its process, but leaves the "window open". I did not even know this to be possible. This happens, iff I.:
- Add "$(boost_root)" to my include-path.
- Add "$(boost_root)\stage\lib" to my link-path.
- Build the project, start it using the debugger.
- Hit Shift f5.

I can't reproduce this. What compiler version are you using? Which Boost libraries and what version are you using? Can you provide a minimal project that demonstrates the problem? Without further information I would guess that this is a MS problem.

Replying to steven_watanabe:

I suspect that the originator of the bug report was running into the following:
These (the zombie windows) are caused by Microsoft patch KB978037.
Kill them now by uninstalling the patch.
VS2008 with KB978037 installed will leave zombie command windows open when you stop an application running in the debugger.
You can fix this by removing KB978037. Here’s how:
Go to C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB978037$\spuninst
Run spuninst.exe
Reboot
...if you don't have the patch installed, you don't see the problem.
