I've had a few crashes when killing a mob that has a dg_event attached. It happens rarely, but it happens. Has there been any recorded issues with anyone else? I traced the crash to this part of the code in dg_event.c (which I have never touched):
I'm afraid to say "it could be a stock bug" because my code in general is so heavily modified, but I haven't changed how MOBs die, so I'm a bit puzzled.
Code:
void event_process(void)
{
struct event *the_event;
long new_time;
while ((long) pulse >= queue_key(event_q)) {
if (!(the_event = (struct event *) queue_head(event_q))) {
log("SYSERR: Attempt to get a NULL event");
return;
}
/* Set the_event->q_el to NULL so that any functions called beneath
* event_process can tell if they're being called beneath the actual
* event function. */
the_event->q_el = NULL;
/* call event func, reenqueue event if retval > 0 */
if ((new_time = (the_event->func)(the_event->event_obj)) > 0)
the_event->q_el = queue_enq(event_q, the_event, new_time + pulse);
else
{
if (the_event->isMudEvent && the_event->event_obj != NULL)
free_mud_event((struct mud_event_data *) the_event->event_obj);
/* It is assumed that the_event will already have freed ->event_obj. */
free(the_event); <------------
}
}
}
