TB36 - The Improper use of FSClose
(10-February-98)
Q
When running an application, I launch a second application.
When I quit the first application, the second application
quits and the Finder reports that "the server that contains it has been disconnected".
Both applications are on local volumes. What's going on?
A
The most likely reason for this is that the Resource Manager's tables have
become corrupted. One way to trigger this is to call OpenResFile
(to read a preferences file, for instance)
and then incorrectly call FSClose to close the preferences file instead of
correctly calling CloseResFile.
Along the same lines, make sure that you do not substitute a call to
DisposeHandle when you should call
ReleaseResource.
