CTD With Latest November 02 2003 17:50:50

Hi.

Using IRC-latest.zip was last modified: November 02 2003 17:50:50.
Crash to desktop.

Tried to compile it with both Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET.
Same result, crash to desktop. Though Visual Studio .NET gave me a slightly larger .exe file.

Crash to desktop occurs after character select if MQ is loaded before startup of EQ.
And also if MQ is loaded after fully logged in and upon zoning.

Anyone else got this or know of a solution?

I have the same problem. Complied with VC6 on WIN2000 using nmake. CTD just after character selection.

Any chance one of you with this problem can turn on debug spew and see if you can figure out what's causing the problem? Helps to place something like this in various places also

Code: Select all

DebugSpewAlways("FunctionName() entry");
DebugSpewAlways("FunctionName() exit");

I'll dirty up cvs with a crash debugging #define and lots of similar lines using the define later today unless a dev reads this and beats me to it

where do I plug that code in though? I'll do that if you tell me where to plug it. :)

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 12:13 pm

Start with going into EQLib_Main.cpp
find
DWORD WINAPI InsertCommands(LPVOID lpParameter)
inside the code block put
DebugSpewAlways("InsertCommands() Entry");

before each return, put
DebugSpewAlways("InsertCommands() Exit");

Do the same in Pulse(). If the return is something like this:

Code: Select all

    if (!EQADDR_CHAR) return;

make it like this:

Code: Select all

    if (!EQADDR_CHAR) [color=red]{
DebugSpewAlways("Pulse() Exit");[/color]
return;
[color=red]}[/color]

The point is to narrow it down to find what function call has Entry and no Exit in the debug spew before crashing. I've CVS'd something similar into the dev cvs to be used but it will be some time before that, so see if you can narrow it down any :)

this spews to some sort of file?

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 1:02 pm

You need to turn on debugspew, then in the Logs directory debugspew.log

Hi, I did the changes you suggested as follows:

Code: Select all

VOID Pulse(VOID)
{
    if (!EQADDR_CHAR) { 
DebugSpewAlways("Pulse() Exit"); 
return; 
}

Code: Select all

DWORD WINAPI InsertCommands(LPVOID lpParameter)
{
DebugSpewAlways("InsertCommands() Entry"); 
    PCHAR lpINIPath = (PCHAR)lpParameter;
    strcpy(gszINIPath, lpINIPath);
    CHAR szBuffer[MAX_STRING] = {0};
    if (!ParseINIFile(lpINIPath)) {
        DebugSpewAlways("ParseINIFile returned false - thread aborted.");
        g_Loaded = FALSE;
        free(lpINIPath);
        DebugSpewAlways("InsertCommands() Exit");
		return 1;
    }
    InitializeCriticalSection(&gDoCommand_Lock);
    InitializeCriticalSection(&gTelnet_CS_Recv);
    InitializeCriticalSection(&gTelnet_CS_Send);
    if (gTelnetServer==1) SetupServer();

    if (!TakeControlOfCommandList()) {
        DebugSpewAlways("TakeControlOfCommandList returned false - thread aborted.");
        gbUnload = TRUE;
        if (gTelnetServer==1) CloseServer();
        g_Loaded = FALSE;
        free(lpINIPath);
        DebugSpewAlways("InsertCommands() Exit");
		return 1;
    }

    LoadString(ghInstance,IDS_LOADED,szBuffer,MAX_STRING);
    WriteChatBuffer(szBuffer,USERCOLOR_DEFAULT);
    DebugSpewAlways(szBuffer);

    while (!gbUnload) {
        Sleep(1000);
    }


    // Attempt to fix random crash while unloading
	//eh... commenting this out makes unloading possible again, but I dont know why
	//lets follow up on this, cant just leave it like this. if its not needed lets remove it...
//    while ((gbInDInput) || (gbInChat) || (g_bInDXMouse)) Sleep(5);

    ReleaseCommandList();
    ClearMapAllocs();

    LoadString(ghInstance,IDS_UNLOADED,szBuffer,MAX_STRING);
    WriteChatBuffer(szBuffer,USERCOLOR_DEFAULT);
    DebugSpewAlways(szBuffer);
	FreeChatWindow();

    if (gTelnetServer==1) CloseServer();
    DeleteCriticalSection(&gTelnet_CS_Send);
    DeleteCriticalSection(&gTelnet_CS_Recv);
    DeleteCriticalSection(&gDoCommand_Lock);

    free(lpINIPath);
    g_Loaded = FALSE;
DebugSpewAlways("InsertCommands() Exit");
    return 0;
}

And turned on debugspew = 1 in the mq ini file.

Made a clean rebuild and fired it all up, loged on, CTD as usual :) .
Went to look for a log file but there isnt anything in it. No logfile created, so i went and made a empty textfile with called debugspew.log in the logs catalogue. Still got an empty logfile

Oh yea I did a clean CVS update for this test.

So it seems like I missed something since I do not get any debug loging at all. Help please

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 4:11 pm

I think you have to open EQLib_Utilities.cpp and find where it says
//#define DBG_SPEW

and uncomment it.

Also, in the Pulse function you need to show the entry
DebugSpewAlways("Pulse() Entry");

and put the exit spew at all returns, and before the last } for the function

Thanks for helping Lax :)

Ok now, this time I got some output in the debug file. It doesnt tell me much but perhaps you are more on the ball of what's hapenig.

You guys don't have an autostart macro configured, do you?

If it is to any help I have also tried to create a new character and logon with that so there are no custom ui or such loaded. Result is the same CTD.

Nope, I didnt even know that was possible
