[SOLVED] crash if use thread in plugin and reload

[snow_zhangy]

If i use thread in a editor plugin, when i try to remove the plugin or reload the plugin it will crash.

reproduce:

1: copy the code and save a cpp file

2: use editor plugin to load that cpp file

3: select the plugin and remove it

result: engine crash.

 

code:

int threadID;
string getName() {
	return "BUG";
}

void init(string name) {
	threadID=thread("updateThread");
}


void updateThread(){
	while(1){
		wait;
	}
}

void shutdown() {
 kill_thread(threadID);
}

void update(int need_reload) {
	
}

Hello,

 

This issue fill be fixed in next SDK update.

Update will be available in the coming days.

 

Upd. Also new run_threads() function will be available.
This function manually run all threads of the script so you can use it instead of kill_thread() function

Here is the sample of plugin with run_thread() function.

int run;
int threadID;

string getName() {
	return "BUG";
}

void init(string name) {
	run = 1;
	threadID = thread("updateThread");
	log.message(__FUNC__ + ": thread id = %i\n",threadID);
}

void updateThread(){
	while(run){
		wait;
		engine.message("BUG update\n");
	}
}

void shutdown() {
	run = 0;
	log.message("shutdown\n");
	forloop(int i = 0; 10) {
		log.message("%d\n",i);
		run_threads();
	}
	log.message("done\n");
	
	/*kill_thread(threadID);
	log.message(__FUNC__ + ": kill thread id = %i\n",threadID);*/
}

void update(int need_reload) {
	
}
