NAME

Test::Smoke::Util::Win32ErrorMode - Utility function to switch off the error-popup for the current process.

DESCRIPTION

This patch was provided in RT-39138. The code has changed quite a bit since then (9 years ago). But it still looked good and sane, so we decided to give it a place in the code.

lower_error_settings()

This calls kernel32::SetErrorMode with the flags: SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS and SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX to prevent popups during crashes.

It also calls Win32::Process::Open()->SetPriorityClass() as a way to renice() the process.
