i use some code from banlist plugin by devicenull
and when use pthreads like banlist server crash (linux/win)
(my banlist bin crash server too)
i use last metamod 1.42 sources and bin
pthreads 2.8
i think the problem its precompile param
or plugin bug..

Where does it crash?

[jimihendrix]

(linux / win)
when put in metamod.ini for auto load server crash

if i put manual with "meta load addons/metamod/bin/eirene_mm"
not load
17:12:41 Failed to load plugin addons/metamod/bin/eirene_mm ().

sample failed (win) :
with only this lines plugin not load i put in plugin load function
(this in windows)

#ifdef WIN32
pthread_win32_process_attach_np();
pthread_win32_thread_attach_np();
#endif

//pre param in vs2005; WIN32;NDEBUG;_WINDOWS;_USRDLL;_CRT_SECURE_NO_ DEPRECATE;PTW32_STATIC_LIB;PTW32_BUILD_INLINE D;THREADSAFE=1

plugin compile ok but when use pthread , not load or crash if i put in metamod.ini
i think the code its ok

Attach a debugger?

[jimihendrix]

sorry but i dont know how debug :
17:12:41 Failed to load plugin addons/metamod/bin/plugin_mm ().

the problem (in win) is when i use
pthread_win32_process_attach_np();
pthread_win32_thread_attach_np();

Now is a good time to learn then because you can't get very far in C++ without knowing how to debug.

"Debug" -> "Attach to Process" in the IDE. When it crashes go to Debug -> Windows -> Call Stack.

[jimihendrix]

i know use the debug in normal aplication but in a plugin i
never used it, right now windows server not crash when put
plugin in metaplugins.ini but "meta list"

20:55:54 -Id- Name Version Author Status
[01] - - - ERROR

metamod has log with errors?
or i can debug next line?
21:58:17 Failed to load plugin addons/metamod/bin/banlist_mm ().

srcds.exe isn't a normal application?

[jimihendrix]

yes its normal application
well i put in link pthreadVC2.lib
and in load plugin

pthread_win32_process_attach_np();
pthread_win32_thread_attach_np();

and cant load plugin
last metamod has problems with pthreads?

with this lines or some code for pthread plugin not works
without works perfect

If your plugin is totally failing to load (originally you said crashing), it probably means your plugin is missing something.

A constructor might be throwing an exception (if a constructor dies then LoadLibrary() will fail), or you may be missing a required import/dll. You may want to download depends and see what your .dll needs.

Make no mistake that there is no problem with Metamod ;) it calls LoadLibrary() and if that fails, it can't load your plugin.
