'bad allocation' errors and hooks

taxman · Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:05 am Post subject: 'bad allocation' errors and hooks

<taxman> seems packet hooks corrupts memory
<OldnGrey_> they do?
<OldnGrey_> I use a lot of them without apparent problems
<taxman> i uses some hooks and receives 'bad allocation' errors with lost functionality serverside scripts after 50+ hours
<taxman> so i make autoreboot in world saver after 48 hours of uptime
<taxman> last week i implement three more hooks and receive same errors after 40-42 hours of server up Sad

<taxman> now i must restart server after 36 hours for normal work
<taxman> very sad
<taxman> from pol.log:
<taxman> [02/11 14:05:53] Exception in: scripts/ai/killPCs.ecle: bad allocation
<taxman> PC < nLines: (se+?S1399: 1399: get member id 'z' (2)
<taxman> 1400: 1400: global #3
<OldnGrey_> what was the ram allocated to pol like after that time?
<taxman> seems normal amount, near 1.3G.
<taxman> i think it is not memory leak
<taxman> it some kind of error in memory manage or something like it
<OldnGrey_> does it always happen when it reaches the same RAM amount?
<taxman> seems it alwayshappen when it reaches some uptime

any more info needed?

I have this same problem. I mantioned bad allocation problem couple times.

Solved it by... looping POL and writing auto - restart script (set on 10 h with some info for a player when time is near).

Same problem with 097 2007-08-23 RC5 Core. It should be priority fix Smile

I think someone needs to buy Austin a six pack, lol.

What OS is the server using?
What is the exact console output message when this occurs?

POL uses 'new' in C++ to allocate memory.

Looks like it's linux core problem only. I'm using Linux ts 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise #1 SMP Thu May 24 17:41:23 MSD 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. Shinigami wrote that leaks are fixed but not 100% fixed :/ Similar problem here: http://forums.polserver.com/sutra9851.php

He can't answer, his fuel C2H5OH just ran out ;d. I'm patiently waiting for answer as well as you.

Even if Austin has run out of fuel:

Did you ever checked your killpcs.src? What does it look like? Perhaps the problem is the script. I never had a problem on 97 with the mentioned script yet.

Script does not matter. It may be any script. And if you does not restart server - this situation will affects all runing scripts with the lapse of time.
