Fail Fast Exception error

Iskariot · 02-08-2020, 03:22 PM

When I close the calibre reader I now always get :

Quote:

Calibre: calibre-parallel.exe - Fail Fast Exception

A fail fast exception occured. Exception handlers will not be invoked and the process will be terminated immediately.

It only occurs after closing the reader. It does not prevent me from using it.

What OS / version
What version of Calibre

Should have thought of that myself:

Windows 10 Pro, version 1909, OS build 18363.592
Calibre 4.10.1

Try running Calibre in safe mode and see if it works. If it does, then something that runs at startup is the problem.

As far as I recall, fail fast exceptions are tossed by Windows. The first time I ran into this, it was an issue with a Windows Insider build of Windows 10. The second time, it turned in a finger pointing exercise between Dell and Microsoft. After updating the Latitude laptop with all the updates Dell had, running Windows Update and sfc (run sfc /scannow from an administrative command prompt), the problem went away. The third time was an issue with an "AV" program which broke Windows -- an "AV" which should never have been installed on a corporate laptop never mind that you got a popup saying you needed to update your antivirus now. End users, you can't live with them and you are not allowed to shoot them.

There isn't any such thing as a fail fast exception in calibre code, so its coming from elsewhere, most likely some interfering third party software such as an antivirus.

FWIW Fail Fast is a feature of Java -==> Fail Fast and Fail Safe Iterators in Java.

And it's a maxim of VC financiers

Fast fail exceptions are also a part of Windows.

Code:

ERROR_FAIL_FAST_EXCEPTION

    1653 (0x675)

    A fail fast exception occurred. Exception handlers will not be invoked and the process will be terminated immediately.

Another of Microsoft's rather useless error messages unless someone has left the debug code in so some useful information is available.

Thanks for your responses. Good to know that the error is not generated by calibre.
The error is annoying, but does not interfere with calibre. I will therefore endure it for the time being. I am switching to a new PC in a few months at most anyway.

I have just started getting the same message as well. Such fun.

Started getting the same message after last update of 64bit version.

Removed Antivirus. But the problem persists.

i tried to reproduce this, i couldn't but I hit a different error. " open with " seems beoken whatever a select for it to use ( it was set up with 3 options: claibre, ADE, Sigil) all fail like below( NB i have not used open with for ages, my default workflow is open with sigil via a double click and that works OK, but all of those 3 choices lead to the same error - broken config? )
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.open_with.action", line 198, in open_with
File "calibre_plugins.open_with.action", line 256, in launch_app
error: (2, 'CreateProcess', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')

ps view with calibre viewer works ok and closes ok - no errors
UPDATE - my fault- I had moved sigil location and bot told the plug in- it works now

kovidgoyal · 02-18-2020, 07:45 AM

Does it still occur if you run windows in safe mode?

varis1 · 02-18-2020, 08:24 AM

after update to 4.10.1 the error takes place when closing editor and reader. exclusiv with calibre.

win 1809 pro up to date

Horus68 · 02-18-2020, 09:08 AM

I had the same problem after update to version 4.10.0 (error shows after exiting the reader)
When updating to version 4.10.1 (also updated some plugins) it went away!
No system changes.

(now: Windows 10, Calibre 4.10.1, Windows Defender AV)
