[Slane]

Hello

I would like to know if it's possible, how to make application crash silently ?
Without runtime lib and app.exe has stopped working

you mean close it? :)
why does it have to be a crash?!?!?!

@Slane Do you mean you want to avoid that Windows shows the user a dialog telling him/her that the app crashed? If so: what's the point? The app will disappear anyway. Or do you want to reastart it immediately?

[Slane]

@raven-worx Because some user parameter may crash the application. For somme reason i never test it. And the application is started many time by an other.

so if the user make lot of errors windows spam windows error. I want avoid it by send only one error message by the master app

@jsulm I juste want get the return code of the application
3 for segmentation fault. For example

And no error interface of window error interface of windows

I doubt that this is possible. If it is however, it'll be some Windows-only way, and you'll have to find out what that is outside of Qt.

thats bad application design then IMHO.

I think we all agree! But I think the OP is saying he has to work with that application as-is (e.g. it's third-party).

If thats the case you can try something like Breakpad to catch an exception.

So. Thanks for all your help

for now i gonna use :

SetErrorMode(SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX);
_set_error_mode (_OUT_TO_STDERR);

For disabling all error dialogue if there is a crash
