This is a continuation of an older thread that got locked (https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/615871).

I am still trying to debug a crash in my ManyMouse project where it crashes in al_hold_bitmap_drawing(false). I am using al_hold_bitmap_drawing(false); because before my code was crashing on a failed assert when Allegro calls ASSERT(!al_is_bitmap_drawing_held()). When I don't call al_hold_bitmap_drawing(false) though, it crashes on al_set_target_bitmap (but not reliably).

Here is a backtrace :

 115(gdb)

From my program's log and resource tracking I can see that the ALLEGRO_DISPLAY* at 0x2a94ef8 has already been destroyed. So for some reason _al_get_current_display is returning a destroyed display, and I can't figure out why.

If anyone wants to look at my code or try debugging this, PM me your email, and I'll send you a read only invitation to my bitbucket repository. It only builds with MinGW and CodeBlocks atm, and it's windows only (XP or higher). It needs Allegro 5.1.12 or later, and the patch for Allegro I provided here (https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/615913/1018200#target).

Edit
Sometimes it is not the display that has been destroyed, but a bitmap, and it crashes in a slightly different spot. But it always crashes at the same point of my program.

Just wondering: Did you put a break on "al_destroy_display" to see if it's called somewhere?
