Hi Wily Dev, Something you said about threading ( particularly the file io cost) for my dbin out debug "tool" helped me resolve an issue for a pesky thread killer I was having trouble locating.
(I know DBIN/OUT change timing etc - still find them useful when the memory deal isn't helping)... But... what you said about the file cost kind of inspired me to do som grepping for all the hidden assign( someFile, SomeFilename) everywhere in my code and I found some fileio that wasn't set up to be threadsafe - now I admit I don't know 100% if converting this to the "way" I do all my "threadsafe fileio" (Have routines for opening / closing files that keeps track of what's open and in what mode - to force serialization if there are two threads wish to append to the same file for example, but it allows multiple threads to read same file.. but no others to write while they are reading etC).... Anyway - since I've made the change - I can't crash my server - even when I hammer the "cycle server" code that doesn't restart the application at shell level - all internal - which means I SEEM to have decently clean object creation and destruction in place (seems like it anyway so far)... It was 20% of the time (guess) able to get killed via a "cycle" ... so FAR... Seems 100% rock solid! (fingers crossed). Thanx - And if you want to share another brain dump about what you know (threading issues or synapse, pascal whatever) and use a page or two... be my guest!
