I've been trying to track down a crash in my app.
I am spawning a thread that I want to use to record statistics
information for each request to a MongoDB database. I send it messages
with a struct containing the information to log.But, it crashes every time on the insert. If I call the exact same
function from the handler thread instead of sending the data in a
message to the logging thread I do not get the crash.Here are the last few lines from gdb analyzing the core:
#0 0x000000000052f61f in vibe.core.tcp.connectTcp() ()
#1 0x000000000059cda0 in TMP898 ()
#2 0x00007ff3a7b1bff0 in ?? ()
#3 0x0000000000559165 in gcmalloc ()
#4 0x0000000000542f27 in
vibe.db.mongo.connection.MongoConnection.connect() ()I modified connectTcp to make sure values were legit:
import std.exception; import std.string; auto driver = getEventDriver(); enforce(driver !is null, "Event driver is null."); enforce(port != 0, "Port shouldn't be 0."); enforce(cmp(host, "") != 0, "host shouldn't be emtpy."); return driver.connectTcp(host, port);
Sure enough, the event driver is null:
[7FD19483D4D1:00000000 ERR] Unable to record performance information for
/man. Error was: Event driver is null.Am I doing something really wrong? Or should I open a bug?

The current version is not yet multi-thread capable as-is (regarding
I/O). There is an experimental switch (-version=MultiThreadTest) but
that has been tested only very briefly for benchmarking purposes and
will likely also fail.
For now I would use startTask() to start a fiber instead of a thread.
You can use createSignal() to create a cross-fiber signal (basically a
condition variable) to notify the logging fiber for new messages.
But for the next version I hope to get some basic multi-threading
support ready.
