SourceMod's Accelerator incompatibility

[jordanbriere]

Thanks, that solved my problem.

@jordanbriere I found another bug which crashes my server.

So I have sourcemod installed and if I load the following plugin. (Yes, just 1 line)

from messages.hooks import HookUserMessage

it crashes my server upon writing in-game "!admin" or "!rcon", literally anything whats sourcemod related.

(I tested both, the current hooks.py & your updated hooks.py, the result was the same)

Minidump, if it helps:

What's the output of sm plugins list? I'm unable to reproduce a crash and it works fine for me with a vanilla installation of MM, SM and SP without any plugins installed beside the line you mentioned above.

Hey,

I figured out now, that it's not the fault of a plugin. (You need to have the base plugins from sourcemod loaded to reproduce this crash.)

The cause of the crash is an extension for sourcemod, called Accelerator - Crash Reporting That Doesn't Suck. I thought thats a pretty neat extension to figure out random crashes, but for now I could just disable it to prevent crashes. Ofcourse I would prefer a fix for it, since its very helpful.

Sorry for the late answer.

It crashes here when the pointer is being wrapped as an IRecipientFilter. It should normally raise a RuntimeError, because that pointer doesn't have RTTI, as per #314, but that extension appears to prevent Boost's from handling the exception and just process with the crash anyway. I believe this happens here in their handler. There is not much we can do, as everything that would normally raise an exception (for example, #312) will no longer be prevented if you are using that extension.

Another example, the following:

from memory import Pointer

Pointer(123).set_int(4)

Should be catched here and raise a RuntimeError: Access violation while writing address '123'. but it no longer does, etc.

Thanks for the investigation. Your efforts are very appreciated.

I will simply just move on, since as you said, theres not much we can do.

You can close this if you want.
