Old output keeps displaying, till process is ended in task manager [message #1706335]

Hi there,

I am running Eclipse Version: Mars Release (4.5.0),
Build id: 20150621-1200 for C programming, on Windows 7.
Compiler: mingw32

Every time I make a change in my program, save it, re-build it and run it, the output is still the same.

The only way to run with the changes, is to end the C/C++ Application executable process (Debug/filename.exe) in task manager, and then rebuild and re-run the program.

Any way to make the process restart or make the program take the changes upon re-building?

Also I get the following error:

cannot open output file Deitel.exe: Permission denied
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Eclipse is running with admin rights.

I have attached the screenshots, before and after restarting the process.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jim

Actually, this is a Windows thing, rather than an Eclipse thing.

Windows does not allow changing an executable (.exe) file as long as the program is running, to prevent it running amok. You have to stop the run before the linker can make a new version. It is up to the program, if it will stop voluntarily or if it has to be killed by operating system utilities.

Off-topic: On Unix-ish systems, you can make a new version of an executable even when the old one is running. Even here, the old copy has to be stopped and the new started before the properties of the new program are seen.

I see. Thanks a lot for the info. I will just have the task manager handy, and end the process before running the program again.
