Code executes separate loops at the same time

[JohnNash]

I've seen some weird behavior in my code (I log almost everything).

 

   While 1
      $WaitingTime = TimerDiff($wtTimer)
      sleep(300)
      $Data = TCPRecv($MainSocket, $MaxLength)
      _FileWriteLog($LogFolder&"info.log", "Wait for answer that Server is ready for step 21")
              

            If $Data = "ByeBye" Then
                                       _FileWriteLog($LogFolder&"info.log", "Server tells me to shutdown")
                                       Terminate()

                 ElseIf $Data = "Step 20 Finished on Server" Then
                                        _FileWriteLog($LogFolder&"info.log", "Server answers it is ready for step 21")
                                        ExitLoop


               ElseIf $WaitingTime>4000 Then
                                         _FileWriteLog($LogFolder&"info.log", "No Answer, we still continue" &$Data)
                                         ExitLoop
            EndIf




   WEnd
   _FileWriteLog($LogFolder&"info.log", "Left the WhileLoop")

 

 

And my logs show this:

 

2016-10-24 00:52:39 : Wait for answer that Server is ready for step 21

2016-10-24 00:52:39 : (Logline from completely different loop)

2016-10-24 00:52:39 : (Logline from completely different loop)

2016-10-24 00:52:39 : (Logline from completely different loop)

2016-10-24 00:52:39 : (Logline from completely different loop)

2016-10-24 00:52:40 : Wait for answer that Server is ready for step 21
2016-10-24 00:52:40 : Server answers it is ready for step 21

 

How can this happen? (If there was a "Left the Whileloop" log in between I could imagine it could happen... but now?

I thought AutoIT was singlethreaded...

JohnNash,

AutoIt is single-threaded.

Do you have some form of _Timer_* or Adlib function running elsewhere in the script? That would allow the loop to be interrupted while still running.

Yes it seems indeed it has something to do with self-made sleep cycles (while ... wend). Also I ran multiple instances of the client by accident.
