@Maijestro

could you do the test with the prebuild i provided?

the release version doesnt have the debug flags compiled in and will always resukt in ?? addresses

@Maijestro

strange...
ill provide a new test build asap then

@Maijestro

just to be sure...as i cant make out the version of scummvm you are basing your tests on...is that 2.8.0 release or the test build i uploaded?

because 2.8.0 used an older libcurl...hence .11, while the *unreleased* test build is using the latest release from os4depot...hence .12

@Maijestro

heh...lets make it a rule everyone *has* to prove he/she owns amigaos4 and/or 68k...otherwise ome could not possibly add something meaningful to the forum

/irony off

as long as its moderated there shouldnt be a big problem, should it?

heck, i even ask for Linux and Windows help once in a while and mostly got usable, civil and nice answers

then again, all of this is about news items, so maybe it would be a compromise to add subfora for mos, aros, AfA, emulation and such?

i mean there already are a lot of dead software subfora rotting away in amigans.net

@Maijestro

thank you

@LiveForIt

that went far over my head

@joerg

thank you very much for the answer, that's what i figured

@devs

i know there is this stack cookie thing, but is it really needed?

i seems kinda outdated, at least how i understand it

one gives the stack cookie the program can use *if* the environment provides not enough stack size, i.e. WB or shell

but its still limited to the size i give in the cookie?
unless i change the stack size in its icon or in the shell?

why?

why not simply enhance the stack where needed?
the OS should be capable of providing on-the-fly stack enhancement, shouldnt it?

or is the stack a "closed" memory area reserved just for the app that demands/needs it?

and is the stack memory locked for the app while it runs?

what if i gave a 2 GB stack cookie to a single app...would the system freeze?
or would no other programs be able to register any more memory (which would in turn lead to a crash or freeze the system sooner or later, i think...?) heh

or would the memory only be used if it really would be needed and otherwise be free to any other app?
if that is true, then why not simply set the stack size for every program to the available amount of memory system-wide?

double post

@Maijestro

im not on my gear for plenty of days, so cannot test anything.

does that reproducible crash always point to the same address?

could you try doing a
stack 4000000
in shell just before starting scummvm and see if something changes, please?

and lastly, if you have, could you start 5 different games from 5 different engines, quit them when they have load in and then quit scummvm?

does it crash for you then?

thank you

@sailor

people agree to disagree, thats our nature, otherwise we would have achieved world peace a long time ago, but...that tale is for another night to tell

@walkero

hmm, statement of intent says

isnt that what what aros/AfA os does?

not trying to discuss mod decisions here, just...

...that constant Amiga Future spamming the news is far more annoying than one or two "off topic" feeds...my 2ct

@Rigo

thank you

@Maijestro

yeah, well its a gaming app...not much demand for such

and my coding skills are non-existant, so...

thank you for testing nonetheless...maybe your emulation environment will come in handy someday when/if there is a solution to debugging anything from outside the OS?

@orgin

got it, thank you

@orgin

Thank you

edit: does that comply to replacing a file as well?

Is it possible?

How would i change a password for an upload?

Thank you

@AlfredOne

probably...but does cfe pass that information along?
i doubt it

@Maijestro

i did found a similar one, but it doesnt involve yt.

just open odyssey, surf to amigans.net and start scummvm...dsi crash that points to libssl.so...not sure, but maybe openssl is clashing with amissl

anyways, right now id like to hesr if the exit crash is gone

thank you

@all

There is a new test build up
https://gofile.me/7hB4K/aX7Wwl2aY
called scummvm-free-signals-fix

Please test if the quit crash is gone for good
