Title: Managed Debugging Assistant 'ReleaseHandleFailed'
Status: Closed Type: Code_Defect
Severity: Important Priority: Low
Subsystem: Integration_Via_PInvoke Resolution: External_Bug
Last Modified: 2011-10-11 05:04:22
Version Found In: 1.0.72
Description:
This behavior also exists in 1.0.66

When running my code under VS2010 with all managed debugging assistants on the exception window switched on I get 4 instances of the following:

Managed Debugging Assistant 'ReleaseHandleFailed' has detected a problem in 'C:\projects\_Demo.exe'. Additional Information: A SafeHandle or CriticalHandle of type 'Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeCapiHashHandle' failed to properly release the handle with value 0x0049C110. This usually indicates that the handle was released incorrectly via another means (such as extracting the handle using DangerousGetHandle and closing it directly or building another SafeHandle around it.)

This happens at the first garbage collection after I've connected to my data source and fetched some data.

Can you please provide a code example that demonstrates this? Thanks.

I don't do anything special. If you want to contact me directly, please use s q l i t e (at) w i e s e r - s o f t w a r e . c o m

I created my entity data model, and connect thus:

string connection = string.Format("metadata=res://*/Model2.csdl|res://*/Model2.ssdl|res://*/Model2.msl;provider=System.Data.SQLite;provider connection string='data source=\"{0}\"'", PayrollDBFilename); try { _dbPAYE = new PAYEDatabase(connection); var Employers = (from employer_data er in _dbPAYE.employer_data select er).ToList(); GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(); // the managed debugging exception is thrown // before hitting the next statement bSucceeded = true; }

The PAYEDatabase constructor being used contains this: ///

/// Initialize a new PAYEDatabase object. /// public PAYEDatabase(string connectionString) : base(connectionString, "PAYEDatabase") { this.ContextOptions.LazyLoadingEnabled = true; OnContextCreated(); }

employer_data is defined like this: ///

/// No Metadata Documentation available. /// public ObjectSet<employer_data> employer_data { get { if ((_employer_data == null)) { _employer_data = base.CreateObjectSet<employer_data>("employer_data"); } return _employer_data; } } private ObjectSet<employer_data> _employer_data;

employer_data is just the data model generated class (awfully big, at end of message).

REMEMBER: No error is shown unless you have gone to Debug | Exceptions and switched on all ManagedDebugExceptions. It seems to me that the problem must be something to do with the way Hash is used in the sqlite3.c file, as that's the only time that type of object appears to be used. My database has no password.

I suspect the issue is not related to System.Data.SQLite, see:

StackOverflow question

According to MSDN, this MDA issue can only be caused by using (and failing to release) an object derived from SafeHandle or CriticalHandle. As far as I can see, neither type of handle is used by System.Data.SQLite.


mistachkin added on 2011-07-05 07:19:08 UTC:
Please disregard the previous comment, I found where System.Data.SQLite uses CriticalHandle objects. In "System.Data.SQLite\UnsafeNativeMethods.cs", both the SQLiteConnectionHandle and SQLiteStatementHandle derive from CriticalHandle.


mistachkin added on 2011-07-09 23:56:46 UTC:
The SafeCapiHashHandle type is not used by System.Data.SQLite. Per the StackOverflow link above, the MDA you are seeing is probably related to some other component in your process using SSL sockets for a web service or something similar.
