Spring is running in SMP

[Ashnal]

What exactly needs to be fixed for compatibility zerver?

[zerver]

I replaced spring.exe with the SMP version, and unitsync.dll.
I get the single player menu even when starting from an internet game with other players.

That's strange. I played it yesterday, and it worked fine.

Move all LUA OpenGL calls from Sim to Draw. The same applies for widgets.

I just tried it again and it works fine, really weird.
It runs quite well, only crashed when I destroyed a few thousand fighters in one go.

It was a lobby bug YHCIR, it was fixed yesterday.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.

If you have crashes, post the infolog.txt

Thanks

Thanks but you are using incompatible widgets.
I'm only interested in crashes or hangs without any "GML error" in the infolog.txt

There i have one for you:

Thanks, it is an old network bug that has come back.

This one one may work better:

Got a crash: Translated stack

Thanks. Looks like concurrent access to drawCmdQueueUnits. Will fix asap.

At least three people also reported a hang. I'm having a hard time reproducing this on my computer. What I need to solve the deadlock is call stack dumps for all threads. I'm not sure about the simplest method to dump this data from the process. I first thought drwtsn32.exe might do it but it didn't work out. The method below can be used though. If someone has a better way, please post it...

Download and install this:
http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symb ... .3.233.msi
Open a command prompt and change directory to the install folder

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)"

If you have dual monitor put the command prompt on the secondary monitor, preferably together with a task manager.
If you do not have a dual monitor I recommend running spring in windowed mode so that the command prompt can be accessed also after a hang.
When spring hangs, read the Process Identifier (PID) of spring.exe in Task Manager. (View --> Select Columns may be needed)
In the command prompt type

Code: Select all

adplus.vbs -Hang -p PID

On the first run you may get a question about cscript.exe, click Yes.
A new folder named Hang_Mode_XXX will be created in the current directory. Inside is a .log file. Post the log file in this forum. Thanks.

process explorer can copy thread stack dumps, but only one frame at a time so that's a lot of clicking.

Hey zerver, right now updating sound, doing things such as updating the camera position, is done during sim, and has a mutex tied to it, so I thought I would ask your opinion about tying sound updates into rendered frames instead. How much work would this cause for you? 3 minutes, 2 hours?

[zerver]

If you are talking about CDxSound::Update() the sound classes are thread safe so you should be able to call it from anywhere.

[imbaczek]

dxsound has been ripped out today.

[lurker]

Was it called from both threads before? Just wondering why it already has a mutex, but thanks, should be a nice quick change then.

Here again the freeze:

Thanks, but I think you didn't get all the addresses. If the list is long, you must scroll to be able to copy it all.

Unfortunately it is usually the long traces that are important because these should be the Sim and Draw threads.

If you have another hang please post again. Sorry for the trouble.
