Hello,

first of all congratulations for the good job.

Now, I have a problem debuggin threads.
My menu executes a function that opens a new thread and launch a code block:

MyThread( &("{|| SayHello()}") )

function MyThread( bFunc )
    local oThread, xResult
    oThread := Thread():new()
    oThread:start(bFunc)
    xResult := oThread:Result
 return xResult

function SayHello()
    msgbox("Hello")
return nil

Then, I put a breakpoint inside SayHello(), and when this function executes
I don't get back to the debuger and the aplication hangs. The VX functions
ok, but the aplication no
Sometimes I get the control in the breakpoint, but I'm unable to reproduce
it.

There are some special care to debug this ? Maybe I forget something ?

Thanks for the help

Josep

The first problem is that your function MyThread can exit prior SayHello 
can be executed. Add the line

     oThread:synchronize( 0 )

to function MyThread and the sample works as expected.

I could not reproduce a hangup of VX.........

Hello Andreas,

sorry but this doesn't help.

I put a breakpoint in oThread:synchronize(0) but I never arrive here. Seems
that there are no return
from oTread:start(bFunc), ( in this case I have a breakpoint in SayHello() )
The VX always work ok, but in this case no var tooltip is present if I put
the cursor over one.
And if I put a :syncronize(0), my menu doesn't respond until I close
SayHello() this behaviour is
incorrect for me, thus I want to open more than one instance of SayHello()
(MDI app)


Thanks

Josep

Josep,

okay. In this case, we'll have to dig deeper. Could you
please post your project (or a working example) so
that we can have a look at it?

Regards,
  Till Warweg

Hello Till,

for the moment see the attached project.xpj. I'm working in a little example
to test, but is dificult
to extract it from my big application.

Thanks for your attention

Josep

An idea: what happens with the thread samples that come with Xbase++
(worms.exe, coffee.exe), do you also have this problem with these?

In case it's too difficult or time-consuming to extract a working sample,
would it be possible to send your complete application? If that's an
option, please contact me via private e-mail at
till.warweg@alaska-research.com.

Thanks,
  Till
