ccox - 24/Nov/07 02:56 PM - edited I'm adding more robust debug code now. Most likely you did not have an infinite loop, just a LOT of errors. Also, what server/realm and faction are you on when you encounter this error?

faejon - 24/Nov/07 04:18 PM I am on Doomhammer Alliance faction. One other thing this happened in the middle of a scan. It was on page 313 of 336 when it happened.

faejon - 24/Nov/07 04:55 PM - edited I updated package Auc-ScanData to r2578 in subversion. [edit] Never mind, the error is in CoreScan.lua not the Auc-ScanData package. I reinstalled to AuctioneerAdvancedSuite-5.0.PRE.2574 and reconfirmed that the error is still happening. Total pages 385 and I clicked on my social button at page 16 and it paused the scan and closed the auction frame. I opened the auction frame and scan resumed.

faejon - 24/Nov/07 05:06 PM - edited When the auction frame is closed debug info fills the chat window. Notice the frame rate 5.9 fps

ccox - 24/Nov/07 08:42 PM - edited 2578 shouldn't produce the same output, I changed a few things. if data was nil, it should have said so using 2578. Hopefully you've given us enough info on how to reproduce the error. And your log shows you are running 2574, not 2578 like you said.

ccox - 24/Nov/07 10:07 PM Reproduced one case so far. Warning, data is a string value. Please report to http://jira.norganna.org/browse/ADV-78 data: [Dreaded Mace of Stamina] It looks like it's a link, but as a string. After printing in chat, it acts like a link. So, somewhere we seem to be getting the data type screwed up.

ccox - 24/Nov/07 10:26 PM - edited More results data number: 70 data string: Prismatic data string: gem data number: 48 data string: Armor data string: Mail data number: 5 data number: 1195961037 data string: Interface\Icons\INV_Chest_Chain_05 data number: 2 Pressing stop during a scan seems to trigger it most often. And it may be timing dependent. On one test, index 1 through 12 was invalid (string or number). Next time it was index 1 through 4. But I can't reproduce it every time - it is timing dependent. Got index 1 - 12 again. Start scan, open guild window, close guild window, reopen auction, let it resume scan, then hit stop -- that seems to reproduce it most reliably.

ccox - 24/Nov/07 10:50 PM - edited The values in the data field seem to be random. The values going into curscan in StorePage() are passing the tests, haven't gotten an error from them yet. But the values in curscan during Commit() are failing. So, it looks like it has something to do with PushScan() / PopScan() ??? OK, there is a pattern (and I wish Mac WoW allowed copy and paste from the chat) index 1, data string: [Watchman's Pauldrons] index 2, data number: 32 index 3, data string: Armor index 4, data string: Leather index 5, data number: 3 index 6, data number: 400000 index 7, data number: 4 index 8, data number: 1195963358 index 9, data string: wathman's pauldrons index 10, data string: Interface\Icons\INV_Shoulder_23 index 11, data number: 1 index 12, data number: 3

ccox - 24/Nov/07 11:59 PM - edited ok, it's not PushScan() / PopScan() The data seems to be ok, EXCEPT during the commit loop. I've added code to test it everywhere I could find. (which needs to be removed as soon as we find the cause of this bug - but the more evidence we get, the better) private.curscan is bad when we enter Commit(). private.curscan is bad when we enter SetPaused() just before calling Commit. That is called by Auc-Util-ScanButton\ScanButton.lua\private.stop() And the only reason we didn't see errors when hitting pause is because it doesn't call commit. We've got bad data when hitting the pause button as well. Then we call PushScan with the bad data... Could this be a bug with the way we use LibRecycle, or LibRecycle itself? If I comment out the call recycle(private, "curScan") during PushScan, the bug goes away. AND we resume scans on the correct page again (we were restarting from the beginning).

ccox - 25/Nov/07 01:51 AM The bug also goes away if I comment out the line tinsert(recyclebin, item) from recycle() in LibRecycle.lua That defeats the reuse of tables. And that means this really is some kind of garbage collection/LibRecycle bug.

ccox - 25/Nov/07 05:27 PM - edited libRecycle is returning some non-empty tables, mostly of the form: We're trying to reuse a non-empty table! {1 = "[Runecloth Belt]", 2 = 51, 3 = "Armor", 4 = "Cloth", 5 = 6, 6 = 17500, 7 = 3, 8 = 1196029466, 9 = "Runecloth Belt", 10 = "Interface\Icons\INV_Belt_15", 11 = 1, 12 = 2, 14 = 46, 15 = 17500, 16 = 0, 17 = 25000, 18 = 0, 20 = "Azazyl", 21 = 0, 22 = -1, 23 = 13856, 24 = 0, 25 = 0, 26 = 0, 27 = 1385416848} We're trying to reuse a non-empty table! {1 = "[Lesser Magic Essence]", 2 = 10, 3 = "Trade Goods", 4 = "Enchanting", 6 = 6500, 7 = 4, 8 = 1196029573, 9 = "Lesser Magic Essence", 10 = "Interface\Icons\INV_Enchant_EssenceMagicSmall", 11 = 2, 12 = 2, 13 = 1, 14 = 1, 15 = 6500, 16 = 0, 17 = 7000, 18 = 0, 20 = "Hotblooded", 21 = 0, 22 = -1, 23 = 10938, 24 = 0, 25 = 0, 26 = 0, 27 = -501636790} However, some of the tables have been large enough to cause stack overflows in DebugLib. So I'm adding recursion limits in DebugLib and trying to capture one of the big ones. Well, recursion limits weren't enough (crashed WoW to the desktop when it tried to allocate a 300 Meg string). Adding string length limits as well. And after 20 minutes of processing, it looks like the table I'm trying to format through DebugLib is just too bloody big. ok, got a few other tables: We're trying to reuse a non-empty table! {4 = {4 = {4 = {4 = {4 = {4 = {4 = {4 = {4 = {recursion limit reached = recursion limit reached}}}}}}}}}} We're trying to reuse a non-empty table! {1 = 67500} We're trying to reuse a non-empty table! {1 = 2, 2 = 3, 3 = 51800, 4 = 52342.9, 5 = 52546.4} We're trying to reuse a non-empty table! {1 = 100000} We're trying to reuse a non-empty table! {1 = 227884, 2 = 227884, 3 = 216489} I'm going to give up on getting info on the tables -- it's locking up or crashing WoW too often. Bottom line: we're trying to reuse non-empty tables, and that is a REALLY BAD THING. Worse if the tables alias one another somehow.

ccox - 26/Nov/07 04:11 AM Norgs and I tracked it down to tables being kept in PushScan then recycled. Norgs also added additional error checking code in LibRecycle that will help catch similar errors in the future. Fixed with revision 2586 Norganna * r2586 Auc-Advanced/CoreScan.lua: Fix recycling issues that were being caused by inappropriate recycling of tables before they were finished being used (ADV-78)

Nikk (Nechckn) - 03/Dec/07 10:01 PM Verified in dev/Trunk- Able to scan, pause, restart without error.
