First-chance exception in Cairo on exit

When use Cairo (​​http://cairographics.org/​​ ), you may meet the nasty question: "First-chance exception at 0x68e629dc in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xabababa7". This error message only occurs when the app  is on exit.

 

What's First-chance exception in Cairo on exit? and does it matter? See these discusses:

​​http://*.com/questions/3610888/cairo-error-message-on-exit​​

 

and

In general, it is harmless. so don't warry about that and feel at ease to use cairo.

 

Sample code bellow:

 

CChildView::CChildView()
{
     testsurface = cairo_image_surface_create_from_png("BlackShinyBackground.png");
}
CChildView::~CChildView()
{
     cairo_surface_destroy(testsurface);
}
void CChildView::OnPaint()
{
     CPaintDC dc(this);
     cairo_surface_t *surface = cairo_win32_surface_create(dc.m_hDC);
     cairo_t *cr = cairo_create (surface);
     cairo_set_source_surface(cr, testsurface, 0, 0);
     cairo_paint(cr);
     cairo_destroy (cr);
     cairo_surface_destroy (surface);
}
