Tracing a recursion level error

[TheRauchster101]

Alternative example:

global $HK_fIns = false
HotKeySet("{INS}", "_HK_INS")
func _HK_INS()
  $HK_fIns = true
endfunc
func wait()
  ;; some loop
  if $HK_fIns then
    $HK_fIns = false
    ;; do this
  endif
  ;; some other code.
endfunc

Woah dude... That is some cool code.

Yeah, I know how nub that makes me sound, because you probably wrote that in 2 minutes, and probably not even in SciTe.

I'll try working that into the script, and see how that goes.

[TheRauchster101]

Yup. Now the script stops at whatever number I have set for the limit. Which is good in one way, because I don't have a recursive error.

But the original concept was to be able to continue to perform installations until the program was manually stopped. Is there some way to get AutoIT to continuously do a script for a over-the-weekend project? Because I'm tired of going into work in the morning and seeing this error.

Okay, I think I have found an answer, though it's probably not the best way to do it, as long as it works, I don't care.

Does this look like an acceptable recursion avoidance procedure while keeping the script to continuously loop?

Global $Starting=0
HotKeySet("{INS}", "Starting")
 
While 1=1
    If $Starting=0 Then
        Sleep(500)
    ElseIf $Starting=1 Then
        $Starting=2
        Call("PixelCheck")
    ElseIf $Starting=2 Then
        Call("Start")
    EndIf
WEnd
 
Func Starting()
    $Starting=1
EndFunc

Where Func PixelCheck() is my one time only script that takes the snapshot of the installation window to compare against for future reference against errors, and Func Start() is the starting function of the installation procedure? I've also removed any possible loops back to "Start", making sure it's called nowhere else in the script.

Does this make sense to others?

To me there is only one acceptable "recursion avoidance procedure" ... Finding the reason and fixing it. Anything else not making any sens. (unless your on a deadline to get some work stuff done. But it should still be seen as a temporary workaround ...)

Not looked at that code ... Got some other code problem floating in my head at the moment.
