spring.exe gets hang at random time during game

[ivand]

Hi!

Spring compiled with defined USE_GML and USE_GML_SIM randomly hangs up displaying the same picture in the game window and consuming 100% CPU of 1 core. If I undefine (and recompile sources after) USE_GML and USE_GML_SIM the game runs stable, but quite slow.

WinXP SP2, Core2Duo T5600, 2 Gb, Ati X1400.

Ready to answer your questions!

[imbaczek]

use gdb to attach to the hanged process (attach <pid>), then post a backtrace (bt). also, make sure you have the latest gmlbranch; there were fixes since 78.2.1. it should sync.

I personally use MSVC2008, so gdb does not necessary. I can tell you what I've seen: 1 thread run endlessly in CGameServer::UpdateLoop. Dunno about the others I'm still not guru in debuging multithreaded apps.

Thanks for the hints about gmlbranch, I'll take a look.

[Added later]

OMG Git is the real headache, how do I clone gmlbranch onto my computer? It was so simple with svn and so unclear with git.

Please change the development back to svn.

Hey. There is some update about the situation.

First the bad news: gmlbranch is as buggy as master one in terms of freeze I described above.

The good news is that I've mastered a bit in debugging multhithread apps. So I can tell and even show (in jpegs if you ask) state of any thread of the application.

Here what debugger says about threads after freeze occurred and 2-3 seconds after I pressed "Break All" button in IDE:

It seems like there is a deadlock and it's definitely somehow linked to gml.

That's all I can tell you right now. Please guide me in what to do next.


P.S. Since I'm not an english speaker and If you don't understand something I've written above, don't hesitate to ask a better explanation from me.


Thanks!

[imbaczek]

that's some pretty detailed info there. i hope zerver, the maintainer of gmlbranch, can make use of it.

[zerver]

Excellent info. If all bug reports were this good, I would be unemployed.

gmlbranch has been updated. release executable is here:

well i just got this random freeze like u described.. i get it once every ~~20 games, no idea why. I have to kill spring.exe to resume work in windows.

Once again thanks for coding and committing bugfixes, 2 days old release and the new one differs like day and night in terms of gml stability.

P.S. Btw, There are lots of errors like the following:

Code: Select all

GML error: Sim thread called gmlTexCoord2f
GML error: Sim thread called gmlVertex3f
GML error: Sim thread called gmlDeleteLists
GML error: Sim thread called gmlDeleteTextures
...etc...

Don't think it's good.

GML error: Sim thread called gmlTexCoord2f
GML error: Sim thread called gmlVertex3f
GML error: Sim thread called gmlDeleteLists

Don't think it's good.

those are widget bugs; basically widgets drawing in non-Draw* functions.

[ginekolog]

well i just got this random freeze like u described.. i get it once every ~~20 games, no idea why. I have to kill spring.exe to resume work in windows.

I still get these freezes from time to time.. now even with second gfx card (nvidia 7600gt). It looks like some endless loop in spring.exe that is displaying the same picture all the time and consums 0 graphic rescources, jsut 100% cpu.

Is this fixed yet?

I get the same freezes you do, gine, but I'm pretty sure it has no relation whatsoever to ivand's problem, as he's using the GML branch of Spring,

[zerver]

One method for providing "hang" related debug info to developers is here:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14357&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=272

Read carefully, and I suggest trying it beforehand - otherwise you may not be able to do it right when the hang actually appears.

[caldera]

i get these random freezes too (it was about every 5th game a few monts ago, now perhaps every 20th).
Normally it helps to ctrl+alt+del and wait a few seconds till spring.exe->no response goes away in taskmanager. then alt tabbing back into game and it works.
i read somewhere shutting down unnecessary apps like firefox should help preventing these errors, but i'm not sure about it.

[ginekolog]

grrrr spring froze again.. now will have your debuger prepared, zerver.

Tried with process explorer but could not switch into it.

[very_bad_soldier]

Other applications running in background can definitely make spring freeze. CryptLoad is one of them, but there are probably more.

[ginekolog]

spring.exe hang up again after 10 games working fine. I did debug like zerver suggestd, here is log file, i hope it helps for anyone:
