DebugObjC on exit with basic example

[carlosb007]

I made a really simple example with the DLL revision 100 which uses the C API interface and all it does is to create the browser instance using cef_browser_create, no page loading, no v8 engine use, nothing, and still on cef_shutdown I get a DebugObjC with the following content:

[0905/231206:FATAL:libcef_dll.cc(42)] Check failed: CefBrowserCppToC::DebugObjCt == 0.
Backtrace:

I don't even call cef_stream_reader_create_for_handler, and I send null for the URL parameter on creation so absolutely no page is loaded. The only handler events triggered are handle_before_created and handle_after_created.

Of course I do have a custom handler, also the simplest possible. This example is actually a stripped down version of a complete working version, problem is that I do get crashes with a random pattern so I'm debugging it from scratch.

Another odd situation is that closing the browser window sending WM_CLOSE the CEF Handler still has a reference count of 1, same as before closing the window.

Any ideas? I've been through the code several times and can't figure out anything wrong.

Can you post your example code?

Got it... was missing to release the object returned by cef_browser_create_sync

Now the application is succeeding to exit cleanly even with the fully functioning browser.

Sorry to bother you...
