[converting SGPropertyNode* to SGPropertyNode_ptr] * Jon S. Berndt -- Saturday 25 March 2006 00:27: > Go ahead. Have you tested it? With several aircraft of different types? I'll > eventually add it in to JSBSim CVS, but have visitors this weekend.
Testing several aircraft wouldn't make much sense. But I've delayed that anyway. There are some more header files and I'll start to convert those first -- slowly, over time. JSBSim doesn't need to be the first. :-) For those asking themselves why this should suddenly be a problem, after these headers worked fine for years. There are two reasons: (A) we are now removing nodes more often than in the past. A few years ago this was really only done in dialog.cxx, but now Nasal becomes more heavily used, and every Nasal script can pull property nodes out from under subsystems that aren't prepared for that. But the main reason is (B): A *long* time ago someone disabled all subsystem destructors, apparently to fix a nasty problem shortly before a release (at least I hope that this was the reason). And then this never got enabled again, until recently. Now all subsystems are expected to terminate cleanly. And those which relied on once fetched node pointers being valid "forever" can now cause crashes on exit. Doesn't happen often, fortunately. m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
