"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

To solve this have look on this.

From MSDN:

abort

Aborts the current process and returns an error code.

void abort( void ); Return Value

abort does not return control to the calling process. By default, it terminates the current process and returns an exit code of 3.

"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

But in your case you need to find why abort() is getting called .

Answer 2

Solved!

I solved my problem using CreateThread(), and let Mingw resolves it using Windows native threads.
