Crash on _Timer_KillAllTimers 3.3.14.2 x64

[jfish]

Please see this thread: ​https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/185229-how-do-you-use-a-timer/?page=2#comment-1330583

It appears as though _Timer_KillAllTimers creates a crash bug in v3.3.14.2 that is not in v 3.3.12.0. The code works in the latter but the newer version creates a crash after returning "true".

same behavior noted in _Timer_KillTimer

This seems to only be an issue with the Full version of Scite 16.612.1119.0 downloaded and installed directly from ​https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit-script-editor/downloads/

I used the installer exe version.

When using the Scite version that comes in AutoIT this problem with the Kill Timers does not occur.

Hi,
it is not related with the Scite full version but when running in 64-bit
The reason that it seems to work with the Scite Lite version is that it is not running in 64-bit
Just comment the #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y line with the full Scite version and no crash will occured

I did that and it still crashed when using the full Scite version but not with the basic Scite version.

I had AutoIT set to default to x64 and I got the same crashing so I added the line
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y and it crashed when set to Y and did not when set to N.

I then reinstalled AutoIT and defaulted it to x86 and no crash then when adding that line and setting it to Y the crash occurred.

Then I uninstalled the full version of Scite and set
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y as you described and no crash occurred.

For me the only common thing that caused the crash was the Full Scite Version and the script set to x64 either by default operation at install or using that line and setting it to Y.

The Full Version of Scite was installed when crashing occurred, I reinstalled after I reinstalled AutoIT. Then I tried without the Full version and no crashing occurred no matter the #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64 setting.

I think I misunderstood your response.

Yes when using the full scite version and setting this to run in 64 bit the script crashes. When I use the basic version of scite that comes in AutoIT and I set to 64 bit there is no crashing.

Sorry for misunderstanding.

I don't understand the post above unless you want to typ 32 bit in the second occurrence.

Back to the problem you cannot use the _Timer_KillAllTimers Inside the function called when the timer fire.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <Timers.au3>
#include <Debug.au3>

_DebugSetup()

Global $g_bExit = False
Global $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 437, 192, 124)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

OnAutoItExitRegister("MyExitFunc")

Global $myTimer = _Timer_SetTimer($Form1, 1000, "_TimedActivated") ; create timer

Local $nMsg
While 1
	$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
	Switch $nMsg
	Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
			Exit
	EndSwitch
WEnd

Func MyExitFunc()
	Local $result = _Timer_KillAllTimers($Form1)
;~ 	Local $result = _Timer_KillTimer($Form1, $myTimer)
	_DebugReport('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $result = ' & $result, True)
EndFunc

Func _TimedActivated($hWnd, $iMsg, $iIDTimer, $iTime)
	#forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $iIDTimer, $iTime
	Local $choice = Random(1, 3, 1)
;~ 	Local $choice = 3
	ConsoleWrite("case " & $choice & @CRLF)
	Switch $choice
		Case 1
;~ 			ConsoleWrite("case 1" & @CRLF)
		Case 2
;~ 			ConsoleWrite("case 2" & @CRLF)
		Case 3
			$g_bExit = True
;~ 			ConsoleWrite("case 3" & @CRLF)
			Exit
	EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>_TimedActivated

This code works in 64 Bit when the Full Version of Scite is not installed.

The point of the timer is to run a function until a specific Switch Case is performed then turn off so the function is not called anymore.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <Timers.au3>

Global $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 437, 192, 124)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Global $myTimer = _Timer_SetTimer($Form1, 1000, "_TimedActivated") ; create timer

Func _TimedActivated($hWnd, $iMsg, $iIDTimer, $iTime)
Dim $Form1, $myTimer
  Local $choice = Random(1,3,1)
    ;ConsoleWrite($choice&@crlf)
    Switch $choice
        Case 1
            ConsoleWrite("case 1"&@crlf)
        Case 2
            ConsoleWrite("case 2"&@crlf)
        Case 3
			_Timer_KilllTimer ($Form1, $myTimer)  ; Timer needs to be shutoff or it will keep calling function
            ConsoleWrite("case 3"&@crlf)  ; Needs to display once          
    EndSwitch
 EndFunc

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            _Timer_KillAllTimers ($Form1)
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I get now what you are saying, _Timer_KillTimer and _Timer_KillAllTimers must be in the same scope and if need to kill a timer from a different scope such as a function to use a Toggle. That works but what I am saying is that the code I have been working with and tinkering with in that thread in the forum does work in 64 bit when Scite Full Version is NOT installed, something to look at there.

Thank you for looking into this.

True it "works" under 32-Bit but I am not sure it will work for ever.
I will update the doc to warn that the Kill timer functions must not be executed under the setTimer defined function.
