Context

[Photon]

Hmmm.

Not sure if this is a question why or just a caveat to those who would come after me (:evil:) but I have found that if I use a Context; call in my _start function (just thought I should point out that I'm talking about modules here), then the bot crashes with a segment violation.

Not a mojor problem, I just left it out, but I do admit to being curious as to why. especially when woobie does it and gets away with it.

Bah...

Very good point.

This is somthing that we would refer you to the eggheads mailing list.

There's really no need to use Context any more, but I doubt it was JUST the Context causing the crash..

Could be you used it before the global function table was set up, i.e. this line:

global = global_funcs;

It was that I used it before setting up the global pointer - I did check for that - I know myself too well.

I also (through years of experience) doubt that its just that, but an _start function with purely that line in it (and a global assignment of course) caused it to crash.

I also sometimes get the same in _close. I've just stopped using it in those two functions, and the problems magically disappear.

Oh - ppslim - I will mail to the mailing list - just been busy this week - woo - actually coding for my job for once ... lol

Hi, I'm not sure what you meant with your first line heh.

But anyway, try using gdb to see exactly what is making it crash. Or post the code :)

gdb??

(first line was b0rked by my brain - meant to say it WASNT that .. )

The quickest way to discribe how to use it.
