Nope..its not sharing any resources, each one runs isolated in its own
folder.  Yep... you can set affinity manually using the task manager.

The only thing shared between them is the name of the stack window...I
guess I'll test that first.

This is weird and I don't like it . but it only affects me I guess. :)
Thanks everyone for trying.

That's a thought. Also, there used to be a way to set the affinity of an 
application to prefer or only run on one core. This was in the early days of 
multi-cores where apps might not be multicore aware. Not sure if this is a 
thing anymore.

Is there a common resource that both processes are using? Maybe there on 2 
different cores but a file locking, database or some similar issue is causing 
the standalone to lock up.

I've tested this by locking up a core using the IDE by putting it in a loop.

But no other process gets locked up, because my OS correctly does not assign 
the busy core to any other process.  So all other applications and windows are 
still responsive.

EXCEPT in a situation when the Livecode IDE is running a particular stack AND 
there is a Standalone version of that stack running at the same time.
(these 2 are seperate processes BUT..)

In that case  the system is assigning both the standalone and the IDE (and 
its running stack) to the same core.and both of them become unresponsive.

My question is why there is a correlation between the two, and why the 
standalone isn't being assigned one of the other 3 available coresbut 
always the same core as the IDE.

If its a different stack open in the IDE... the standalone is correctly 
assigned to another core.

I don't know how else to explain the problem.  Forgive me if I am not clearly 
explaining it.

On the machine, or on the core? LC should only be using a single core on 
Multi-core systems. Any other process using that core may be affected, but not 
necessarily processes using the other core. It may be academic though, as most 
apps today are probably using both cores simultaneously.

It may be the issue with repeat loops that do not yield to the engine 
periodically. This was an issue all the way back to MetaCard and I am 
not sure if it has been changed since then.


Basicaly, running a lengthy repeat loop locks up the entire CPU until 
the loop exits. If this is the problem then it isn't just your 
standalone that comes to a halt, it's everything currently running on 
the machine.

The 'with messages' is the key element, this made the LC app hand back

Hi Peeeps,

So I have a standalone running 24/7 that was built with LiveCode.

When I use Livecode the IDE to work on the application (that I am also
running as a standalone), and the IDE locks up for whatever

reason...being

busy or whatever. my standalone application also locks up (window
become unresponsive).  As soon as the IDE is responsive again, so is my
standalone window.

I have a 4 core machine...and nothing else seems to be locking up

just

the IDE and the standalone.

Why is the OS insisting on the 2 processes sharing a core?

Has anyone come across this before?

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it.

Re: A Windows 10 WTF

2019-12-24 Thread Peter Reid via use-livecode
Hi Tom

I'm not sure about Windows 10 behaviour but I had a similar problem with 
Windows 7. It seemed that my LC app was not releasing the processor long enough 
to handle basic user I/O. The solution was to add the following to all my tight 
loops:

wait 0 milliseconds with messages

The 'with messages' is the key element, this made the LC app hand back control 
to Windows to handle other system activities. I add this line to all my loops 
when running under Windows. Give this a try and let me know whether this helps.

Peter

Just a wild guess, did you include the remote debugger in the standalone?

Hi Peeeps,

So I have a standalone running 24/7 that was built with LiveCode.

When I use Livecode the IDE to work on the application (that I am also
running as a standalone), and the IDE locks up for whatever reason...being
busy or whatever. my standalone application also locks up (window
become unresponsive).  As soon as the IDE is responsive again, so is my
standalone window.

I have a 4 core machine...and nothing else seems to be locking up just
the IDE and the standalone.

Why is the OS insisting on the 2 processes sharing a core?

Has anyone come across this before?

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it.
