IOError in windows service

Hi all

I have a script (attached) that creates a windows service. Basically the
service periodically runs a program 'program.exe'. This all works fine,
but during testing I discovered that if I include any 'print' statements
(used to debug the service when its run in 'debug' mode), when _not_ in
debug mode, it throws an error:

<error>
The instance's SvcRun() method failed
File "C:\Python25\Li b\site-packages\win32\ lib\win32servic eutil.py",
line 785, in SvcRun
self.SvcDoRun()
File "C:\Program Files\Program\M yService.py", line 28, in SvcDoRun
print "Entering while loop..."
<type 'exceptions.IOE rror'>: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')
</error>

I have removed the 'print' statements, after which the service runs
fine, but was just curious to find out the reason for this error.

Regards

Nicol

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
