On Windows, if an FLTK 1.4 app does not create a window (e.g. an FLTK app that also provides a batch mode), the app crashes in fl_brush_action().

To trigger the issue, apply the following patch (which forces the cube.exe test to return early) to FLTK 1.4 and run cube.exe:

Index: test/cube.cxx
===================================================================
--- test/cube.cxx (revision 13005)
+++ test/cube.cxx (working copy)
@@ -178,6 +178,8 @@
 // end of printing demo

 int main(int argc, char **argv) {
+  // return here to trigger fl_brush_action bug
+  return 0;
   Fl::use_high_res_GL(1);
   makeform(argv[0]);
   // added to demo printing

It crashes reliably on both Windows 7 and Windows 10, with both MSCV 2017 and GCC.

Attached is a patch that fixes the issue. I'm not sure if this is the right patch, though...

Fixed in Subversion repository.

Thanks for the report and the patch.

It turned out that I had already found the issue long ago and prepared a slightly different patch, but never committed. I committed it now in svn r13007.

My patch fixes the issue before fl_brush_action(1) is called (at program exit) and avoids a comparison when fl_brush_action(0) is called during program execution.

Please confirm that this works for you. TIA.

Note: I changed the subject (added "at program exit") for later reference.

For the record: the original fix was in svn r13007 which is now in Git master (1.4.0), commit 339ba4c8b307f025c5ef8999f8539656057d69b7.

The fix has been backported today to Git branch-1.3 in commit
40b82358ed3315b5ed6cdaae959e00348b165ad3 (after release 1.3.8).

It is available in Git and will be in release 1.3.9 if this will be
released.
