works well. no leaks (with my simple test, anyway)
and i don't notice any speed difference
will clean it up a bit more and push later tonight
(to my repo, for review)

can someone help me with debugging a plugin on mac os x lion 64bit safari? I tried to follow the instructions in the wiki but I always get this error in gdb before the plugin would load actually: 0x00007fff95e95e42 in __semwait_signal ()

FireBreathBot: tell shenberg boost::any version of FB::variant at https://github.com/dougma/FireBreath/tree/boost-any
|
| FireBreathBot |
07:02 |
dougma: I'll pass that on when shenberg is around.
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
mkoch_: unfortunately 64 bit Safari has a bad tendency of killing the plugin as soon as it stops responding so often you end up with it dieing before you can really do anything after attaching
mkoch_: the trick is usually to connect to the right process, though; it's not hte main safari process, it's a different one
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
taxilian: I tried to do it by hand: starting safari form terminal, then whatching the process list and connecting to PluginProcess w gdb as soon as it appears
can it be done somehow automatically with XCode? (I use 4.2.1 and that's somehow different from the one described on the wiki so I couldn't find how to set it up)

mkoch_ yeah, but it's trickier; i've done it, but not a lot. debugging on mac is painful, I'm afraid
what are you trying to troubleshoot?
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
I get this error and I have no idea where it comes from:
PluginProcess(52384,0x7fff7f685960) malloc: *** error for object 0x7f87f1b107b8: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
hmm. I can see why you'd be concerned
does it only happen on 64 bit safari?
64 bit Firefox is easier to debug
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
yes, safary 64bit
*safari
should I try FF?
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
I would
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
(bad thing is that it doesn't happen always, sometimes it works just fine...)
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
you can turn off IPC mode in FF by going into about:config and searching for ipc and then it's easier to attach
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
which property should I change exactly?
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
search for ipc; it's something like "disable 64 bit ipc" or some such
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
ipc.enabled.x86_64 maybe?
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
yeah
that one
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
what does it do?
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
set it to false and the plugin will be loaded in-process instead of out-of-process

I can't reproduce the crash on FF :S
|

there's really no way to debug safari?
i mean the plugin within it of course
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
oh, you can do it, it's just hard
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
wait a sec
ff doesn't even start with gdb :(
gdb /path/to/firefox
then 'run' starts reading symbols, then program exits with code 6
|
| taxilian |
08:02 |
oh
couple of things
first, in the Firefox.app/ bundle there is an application.ini
at the bottom, disable the crash reporter
that'll make it easier to attach
second, if you try to run firefox from the command line (I always attach with xcode myself) then you can run it with gdb by running firefox -g
|
| mkoch_ |
08:02 |
thanks, after disabling the crashreporter it starts now

taxilian: I don't know what you mean with "I think the correct solution is to move the files to another subdirectory"

|

08:02 |
okay, on FF 10/10 works, on Safari: 7/10 crashes...

I need a help. When I use javascript to detect plugin in IE using ActiveXObject I get error: Automation server cannot create object. What went wrong?
|
| taxilian |
09:02 |
Kiran: can you create it using a normal object tag?
|
| mkoch_ |
09:02 |
taxilian: ok, I filled the code with debug prints, now it seems that the line where it crahses is this: PlayerContextPtr context(new PlayerContext); which is a creation of a boost shared_ptr and btw comes from BasicMediaPlayer's source. It must be realted some of my code tho as the error occured recently. can you tell anything smart about it? this project is also my 1st meeting with boost... :)
|
| taxilian |
09:02 |
umm, no, because I have no idea what you're trying to do there
|
| Kiran |
09:02 |
Yes it works using normal tag. I have singed the code. It does not work using javascript only.
|
| taxilian |
09:02 |
I'd need to see the other code there. if that line is crashing it means that new PlayerContext is crashing
|

have you ever tried valgrind ona plugin? for me it doesn't seem to work either, Safari crashes somwhere in sqlite before even starting up
|
| taxilian |
09:02 |
I have, but it's been awhile
|
| mkoch_ |
09:02 |
was there any trick?
"valgrind /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari" says Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV): dumping core, Bad permissions for mapped region at address 0x0 [sqlite3PageMalloc...]
|
| taxilian |
09:02 |
I honestly don't remember :-/
and I don't know that I used Safari
I think I used firefox
which has always been easier to deal with
|
| mkoch_ |
09:02 |
well, it worth a try, if there is a leak, it should exist in FF too, if I find there and fix, that might solve the problem in safari...
|

oh valgrind... last time i started it i almost fell of my chair ;)

|
| taxilian |

my thoughts as well; it does probalby make sense to clarify the name, as long as it supports the old way as well
|
| ch |
11:02 |
I personally wouldn't even care too much for backwards compat for such simple things. Living off git HEAD just comes with these things...
|
| taxilian |
11:02 |
I'm willing to break backwords compatibility in a way that forces people to update their project between builds; however, I'm only willing to do so for things that gives a significant advantage. I'm not sure this qualifies
I mean, clarity in config files is good, but...
|
| linearray |

do it together with other breakign changes, like the file override change

Umm, I just noticed that just about every firebreath plugin is now flagged by chrome as a malicious download - if you download the FBTestPlugin installer, it'll be flagged as malicious if unsigned
|
| FireBreathBot |
15:02 |
shenberg: 14:16Z <dougma> tell shenberg boost::any version of FB::variant at https://github.com/dougma/FireBreath/tree/boost-any
|
| ch |
15:02 |
xcode 4.3 is now available
(if the download works...)
|
| taxilian |
15:02 |
… there is a download somewhere of the FBTestPlugin installer?
my guess is that chrome is just flagging anything that isn't signed
|
| shenberg |
15:02 |
That's what I assumed, but I noticed that even my bundle installers with the .msi are flagged
while bundle installers without it aren't
even though they are all unsigned and have unsigned components
for example, one of the installers in the bundle is an unofficial Kinect driver which is of course unsigned
|
| taxilian |
15:02 |
and it's flagging the MSI when there is a firebreath plugin inside, but not otherwise?
that's weird...
it could be detecting an npapi plugin inside and figuring that any unsigned plugin is dangerous, I guess
|
| shenberg |
16:02 |
Also, I noticed that one out of the 43 antivirus programs on virustotal flags the same plugin as malware
But it was some no-name one, not one of the biggies, or even one of the paranoid ones

Hi - I just downloaded 1.6 and generated the code. Upon loading the project into Visual Studio 10, I saw two projects with malformed vcxproj files: PluginCore.vcxproj and WTP_PluginAuto.vcxproj. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
|

rcohn: I've never seent hat issue; did you delete the build dir before you started?
and are you using git or what did you download?
|
| rcohn |
16:02 |
I downloaded the "latest release" .zip file from http://www.firebreath.org/display/documentation/Download. And before I regenerated, I moved my old FB sources out of the way, and the old build folder. I renamed the firebreath sources to firebreath_1.6.0 before I regenerated, and the regen process finished without complaints.

mmm... i've heard reports that our plugin has been flagged by antivirus software too.
it is signed too.
probably the av software is like, zomg iexplore.exe is dropping a dll!
which is fair enough

18:02 |
Hey, I'm trying to do a somewhat nasty hack - I have javascript executing on my page at an indeterminate time, and I want to detect whether there's an existing, loaded plugin object I can use
|
| taxilian |
18:02 |
umm
|
| shenberg |
18:02 |
My problem is that I hit on a state where my plugin exists but isn't yet loaded, so I can't use it yet but I can't get a notification on when it finishes loading
|
| taxilian |
18:02 |
well, some people use the .valid property for that
if (plugin().valid)
|
| shenberg |
18:02 |
I can only use polling for that, though, right?
|
| taxilian |
18:02 |
correct
|
| shenberg |
18:02 |
Hmm, that might be enough to work around the issue
|
| taxilian |
18:02 |
you can use the onload callback to find out when the plugin appears
|
| shenberg |
18:02 |
Yeah, but I assume someone else is already listening in on it :/
The context is: I have a web page with my plugin
|
| taxilian |
18:02 |
ahh. yeah, you can only set one; you'd have to control the insertion for that to work
|
| shenberg |
18:02 |
and I'm also running the Unity Web Player
And from there, I try to detect an existing plugin, or I inject my own
but I don't want two instances for the same page
(bad terminology, by plugin I meant the <object> loading the plugin)
|
| taxilian |
18:02 |
yeah; polling is probably your best bet
|
| shenberg |
18:02 |
Yeah, well, I guess I'll change my code to be: if there's a loaded plugin, use it. If there's a not-yet-loaded plugin, poll with setInterval. If there's none, inject my object
|
| taxilian |
18:02 |
good luck =]
