Sooo...
I have written a plugin, and the whole plugin works fine.
ONLY PROBLEM:
My TS3 Client crashes.
To give a context:
(Warning: That code is just poorly pasted. On GitHub, it crashes at line 270 and 285)
// Helper Function
String^ getChannelName(uint64 serverConnectionHandlerID, uint64 channelID) {
char* tmp;
if (ts3Functions.getChannelVariableAsString(serverConnectionHandlerID, channelID, CHANNEL_NAME, &tmp) == ERROR_ok) {
return marshal_as<String^>(tmp);
}
else
{
return "ERROR_GETTING_CHANNELNAME";
}
}
void assemble_a() {
List<String^>^ clients;
List<String^>^ channel;
// Some middlepart here, but I made sure it works as it should
// And the actual part where it is crashing
if (resChL == ERROR_ok) {
for (int i = 0; channelListPtr[i]; ++i) {
String^ a = getChannelName(schid, channelListPtr[i]);
const char* b = (const char*)(Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(a)).ToPointer();
ts3Functions.logMessage(b, LogLevel_DEBUG, "DEBUG_VC", schid);
if (String::IsNullOrEmpty(a) == false) {
channel->Add(a); // It crashes RIGHT at this point
}
}
}
}
So I am asking on the TS3 forum for a long time, got a lot of answers, and noone could tell me why it actually crashes, and I didn't manage to figure it out on my own either.
It does actually print the channel name [*spacer0]t but as soon as it should append it to the String List, it crashes.
It throws the message The thread has tried to write or read from a virtual address that it does not have the accesspermissions for.
I seriously have no idea what to do, trying to fix it now for over 2 weeks.
For full context: GitHub Sourcecode
Sorry if this question MIGHT be a little out of topic here (Is it? I don't know...) but I don't really know what to do with that problem anymore...
EDIT:
Errormessage from try/catch is:
System.NullReferebceException: The Objectreference was not set to the Objectinstance, occured in tsapi.assembleGrammar()
List<String^>^ channel;
...
channel->Add(a);
channel is null. You need to initialize it with something, probably gcnew List<String^>(). I'm not sure why you're getting an access denied message instead of NullReferenceException.
Other issues
Make sure you're handling all the unmanaged strings properly. For example, does getChannelVariableAsString require a call to explicitly free the buffer? Be absolutely sure to call FreeHGlobal to free the memory that StringToHGlobalAnsi allocated for you.

Using Xamarin, I'd like to use an AVAudioSinkNode to store and eventually transfer incoming audio data from a mic at the lowest latency possible (without going straight into AudioUnits and the deprecated AUGraphs). See my commented code below where the SinkNode is connected to the default InputNode. It's giving me grief. I'm using Xamarin.Forms with a simple iOS dependency class. I can successfully hook up an InputNode through an fx node (Reverb for example) and on out to the OutputNode. In this case, I've minimized my code down to focus on the problem at hand:
public unsafe class AudioEngine : IAudioEngine
{
AVAudioEngine engine;
AVAudioInputNode input;
AVAudioSinkNode sink;
public AudioEngine()
{
ActivateAudioSession();
}
protected void ActivateAudioSession()
{
var session = AVAudioSession.SharedInstance();
session.SetCategory(AVAudioSessionCategory.Playback, AVAudioSessionCategoryOptions.DuckOthers);
session.SetActive(true);
session.SetPreferredIOBufferDuration(0.0007, out error); // 32 byte buffer, if possible!
engine = new AVAudioEngine();
input = engine.InputNode; // to save on typing
input.Volume = 0.5f;
var format = input.GetBusInputFormat(0); // used for fx connections, but not used in this snippet. If I use this in the Input -> Sink connection, it crashes.
sink = new AVAudioSinkNode(sinkReceiverHandler);
engine.AttachNode(sink);
try
{
//-----------------------------------------------------
// Param #3 (format) is nil in all the Apple Documentation and multiple examples
// In place of nil, **NSNull.Null** isn't accepted.
// In place of nil, **null** throws a System.NullReferenceException. (see stack dump)
// In place of nil, using the **InputNode's format** crashes with
// something about missing the Trampolines.g.cs file... no clue...
engine.Connect(input, sink, **null**); // null doesn't work in place of nil.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace); // Exception messages included below
}
engine.Prepare();
engine.StartAndReturnError(out error);
}
private unsafe int sinkReceiverHandler(AudioToolbox.AudioTimeStamp timeStamp, uint frames, ref AudioToolbox.AudioBuffers inputData)
{
// Do stuff with the data...
return 0;
}
}
I found a post related to the use of nil as a parameter in Xamarin.iOS that says the author of the library needs to include the [NullAllowed] argument:
How to assign something to nil using Xamarin.iOS
My question is: Am I missing something obvious, or is this an oversight in the Xamarin library definition? I always assume it's my lack of expertise, but if this is a bug, how do I go about reporting it to Xamarin?
A follow up question: If this is a glitch, is there a viable workaround? Can I go in and tweak the Xamarin library definition manually? (which would break on any updates, I'm sure.) Or can I make a little library using Swift which I then import into my Xamarin project?
Just trying to think of options. Thanks for reading! Below is the Stack dump when I use null as a substitute for nil (again... NSNull.Null isn't considered a valid type in this case. It just doesn't compile):
{System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

THANKS!
This has been confirmed as a bug: The format parameter is [NullAllowable], but the current code to actually process that null wasn't linked up in the wrapper code. Here's the issue tracker on the Xamarin.Mac/iOS github repo:

In my efforts to create a progress indicator for uploading videos using HttpClient (SendAsync) in Xamarin Forms, I now have to ask for assistance.
The upload itself works fine, and all other API calls, but when I try to create a custom HttpContent to track the progress of the upload the project won't even build any more.
Error MT3001: Could not AOT the assembly
'[...].iOS/obj/iPhone/Debug/build-iphone7.2-10.1.1/mtouch-cache/Build/theproject.dll'
(MT3001) (theproject.iOS)
Using StreamContent or ByteArrayContent instead the project builds, but I can't get it working to track the progress.
A snippet of code (this is minimal example):
public class ProgressableContent : HttpContent
{
private const int defaultBufferSize = 4096;
private Stream content;
private int progress;
public ProgressableContent(Stream content)
{
this.content = content;
}
protected override Task SerializeToStreamAsync(Stream stream, TransportContext context)
{
return Task.Run(async () =>
{
var buffer = new byte[defaultBufferSize];
var size = content.Length;
var uploaded = 0;
using (content) while (true)
{
var length = content.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (length <= 0) break;
uploaded += length;
progress = (int)((float)uploaded / size * 100);
await stream.WriteAsync(buffer, 0, length);
}
});
}
protected override bool TryComputeLength(out long length)
{
length = content.Length;
return true;
}
}
I use this by transforming my byte's to a stream, hopefully correctly:
//... building httpMessage.
httpMessage.Content = new ProgressableContent(await byteArrayContent.ReadAsStreamAsync());
//...
var response = await _httpClient.SendAsync(httpMessage, Cancellation.Token);
//...
The question(s):
Am I somehow causing the error? Is there a "better" way to do this?
Tagged this with Xamarin.iOS also since monotouch is complaining.
Double-click on the error from XS and it should bring you to a web page that provide more description about the issue. E.g.
MT3001 Could not AOT the assembly '*'
This generally indicates a bug in the AOT compiler. Please file a bug
http://bugzilla.xamarin.com with a project that can be used to
reproduce the error.
Sometimes it's possible to work around this by disabling incremental
builds in the project's iOS Build option (but it's still a bug, so
please report it anyways).
The main thing about 3001 is that the AOT compiler did not produce an output binary. There can be several reasons for this. Generally the process crashed and the build logs will give a bit more details why.
Even more important is to attach a self-contained test case to the bug report. Something else, beside the code you pasted, can be playing an important part that led to the crash (and it could be impossible to duplicate or guess what that piece could be). That also gives us a better chance to suggest a workaround to the issue.
I am using JNA to access User32 functions (I dont think it has got to do with Java here, more of concept problem). In my application, I have a Java process which communicates with the Canon SDK. To dispatch any messages I am using the below function:
private void peekMessage(WinUser.MSG msg) throws InterruptedException {
int hasMessage = lib.GetMessage(msg, null, 0, 0);
if (hasMessage != 0) {
lib.TranslateMessage(msg);
lib.DispatchMessage(msg);
}
Thread.sleep(1);
}
peekMessage is called in a loop and it all works well. Whenever an Image is taken from camera, I get the event and do the rest.
But I have observed, say after about 15 seconds (sometimes never or sometimes just at start) of no activity with camera, taking picture does not give me any download event. Later the whole application becomes unusable as it doesn't get any events from camera.
What can be the reason for this? Please let me know of any other info needed, I can paste the respective code along.
Edit:
Initialization:
Map<String, Integer> options = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
lib = User32.INSTANCE;
hMod = Kernel32.INSTANCE.GetModuleHandle("");
options.put(Library.OPTION_CALLING_CONVENTION, StdCallLibrary.STDCALL_CONVENTION);
this.EDSDK = (EdSdkLibrary) Native.loadLibrary("EDSDK/dll/EDSDK.dll", EdSdkLibrary.class, options);
private void runNow() throws InterruptedException {
while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
Task task = queue.poll();
if (task != null) {
int taskResult = task.call();
switch (taskResult) {
case (Task.INITIALIZE_STATE):
break;
case (Task.PROCESS_STATE):
break;
case (Task.TERMINATE_STATE): {
//queue.add(new InitializeTask());
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
break;
}
default:
;
}
}
getOSEvents();
}
}
WinUser.MSG msg = new WinUser.MSG();
private void getOSEvents() throws InterruptedException {
if (isMac) {
receiveEvents();
} else {
peekMessage(msg);
}
}
Above, whenever I get my camera event, it add's it to the queue and in each loop I check the queue to process any Task. One more important information: This is a process running on cmd and has no window. I just need the events from my camera and nothing else.
The code where I register callback functions:
/**
* Adds handlers.
*/
private void addHandlers() {
EdSdkLibrary.EdsVoid context = new EdSdkLibrary.EdsVoid(new Pointer(0));
int result = EDSDK.EdsSetObjectEventHandler(edsCamera, new NativeLong(EdSdkLibrary.kEdsObjectEvent_All), new ObjectEventHandler(), context).intValue();
//above ObjectEventHandler contains a function "apply" which is set as callback function
context = new EdSdkLibrary.EdsVoid(new Pointer(0));
result = EDSDK.EdsSetCameraStateEventHandler(edsCamera, new NativeLong(EdSdkLibrary.kEdsStateEvent_All), new StateEventHandler(), context).intValue();
//above StateEventHandler contains a function "apply" which is set as callback function
context = new EdSdkLibrary.EdsVoid(new Pointer(0));
result = EDSDK.EdsSetPropertyEventHandler(edsCamera, new NativeLong(EdSdkLibrary.kEdsStateEvent_All), new PropertyEventHandler(), context).intValue();
//above PropertyEventHandler contains a function "apply" which is set as callback function
}
You are getting ALL messages from ALL windows that belong to this thread, that includes all mouse moves, paints etc. if you aren't rapidly calling this function your message queue will overflow and cause the behavior you describe.
The sleep you definitely don't want as GetMessage yields if no message is waiting.
So if there exists a normal message pump(s) (i.e GetMessage/DispatchMessage) loop somewhere else for this threads window(s) then you should let that pump do most of the work, perhaps use wMsgFilterMin, wMsgFilterMax to just get the event message you require; or even better in this case use peekmessage with PM_NOREMOVE (then you will need your sleep
call as peekmessage returns immediately).
Alternatively provide the hWnd of the window that generates the event to reduce the workload.
Use spy++ to look into which windows this thread owns and what messages are being produced.
To take this answer further please provide answers to: what else is this thread doing and what windows does it own; also is this message pump the only one or do you call into the SDK API where it may be pumping messages too?
There is an OpenSource project wrapping EDSDK with JNA and it has a version of your code that is probably working better:
https://github.com/kritzikratzi/edsdk4j/blob/master/src/edsdk/api/CanonCamera.java#L436
Unfortunately this is not platform independent and specifically the way things work on windows. I am currently in the process of trying to get a MacOS version of things working at:

I have a pretty standard MVC3 application. I'm trying to store some data that's application-wide (not user wide) in a the cache (in this case, a Theme object/name). When debugging (on the development server that integrates with Visual Studio), if I call SwitchTheme, I see the new theme right away. On IIS7, whatever theme was cached, stays cached; it doesn't update to the new theme.
Edit: Some code:
public static Theme CurrentTheme { get {
Theme currentTheme = HttpContext.Current.Cache[CURRENT_THEME] as Theme;
if (currentTheme == null)
{
string themeName = DEFAULT_THEME;
try
{
WebsiteSetting ws = WebsiteSetting.First(w => w.Key == WebsiteSetting.CURRENT_THEME);
if (ws != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(ws.Value))
{
themeName = ws.Value;
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// DB not inited, or we're installing, or something broke.
// Don't panic, just use the default.
}
// Sets HttpContext.Current.Cache[CURRENT_THEME] = new themeName)
Theme.SwitchTo(themeName);
currentTheme = HttpContext.Current.Cache[CURRENT_THEME] as Theme;
}
return currentTheme;
} }
public static void SwitchTo(string name)
{
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert(CURRENT_THEME, new Theme(name), null, System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30));
// Persist change to the DB.
// But don't do this if we didn't install the application yet.
try
{
WebsiteSetting themeSetting = WebsiteSetting.First(w => w.Key == WebsiteSetting.CURRENT_THEME);
if (themeSetting != null)
{
themeSetting.Value = name;
themeSetting.Save();
}
// No "else"; if it's not there, we're installing, or Health Check will take care of it.
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// DB not inited or install not complete. No worries, mate.
}
}
I'm not sure where the problem is. I am calling the same method and updating the cache; but IIS7 just shows me the old version.
I can disable output caching in IIS, but that's not what I want to do. That seems like a hacky work-around at best.
Without a code sample it's difficult to know what your problem is. In an attempt to provide some assistance, here is how I frequently set the cache in my applications:
public static void SetCache(string key, object value) {
if (value != null) {
HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert(key, value, null, System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30));
}
}
The HTTP cache is reset only if you do so manually or the app domain (or app pool) resets for whatever reason. Are you sure that's not happening in this case? And generally speaking, any global static variables would also be maintained in memory under the same circumstances.
There are many reasons why an app pool might be reset at any given point, such as a change to a web.config file, etc. I suggest checking that's not happening in your case.
By the way, output caching is a different thing, although it is maintained in memory largely the same way.
Given that this only happens on IIS7 when Output Caching is not disabled, this seems very likely to be an IIS7 bug. Seriously.
Whether it is or not, is irrelevant to the solution. What you need to do is find some manual process of invalidating the cache, such as touching the web.config file.
But beware: doing this will wipe out the cache (as you expect), but also all static variables (as a side-effect). Whether this is another bug or not, I don't know; but in my case, this was sufficient to solve the problem.
I was going over the examples of boost.asio and I am wondering why there isn't an example of a simple server/client example that prints a string on the server and then returns a response to the client.
I tried to modify the echo server but I can't really figure out what I'm doing at all.
Can anyone find me a template of a client and a template of a server?
I would like to eventually create a server/client application that receives binary data and just returns an acknowledgment back to the client that the data is received.
EDIT:
void handle_read(const boost::system::error_code& error,
size_t bytes_transferred) // from the server
{
if (!error)
{
boost::asio::async_write(socket_,
boost::asio::buffer("ACK", bytes_transferred),
boost::bind(&session::handle_write, this,
boost::asio::placeholders::error));
}
else
{
delete this;
}
}
This returns to the client only 'A'.
Also in data_ I get a lot of weird symbols after the response itself.
Those are my problems.
EDIT 2:
Ok so the main problem is with the client.
size_t reply_length = boost::asio::read(s,
boost::asio::buffer(reply, request_length));
Since it's an echo server the 'ACK' will only appear whenever the request length is more then 3 characters.
How do I overcome this?
I tried changing request_length to 4 but that only makes the client wait and not do anything at all.
Eventually I found out that the problem resides in this bit of code in the server:
void handle_read(const boost::system::error_code& error,
size_t bytes_transferred) // from the server
{
if (!error)
{
boost::asio::async_write(socket_,
boost::asio::buffer("ACK", 4), // replaced bytes_transferred with the length of my message
boost::bind(&session::handle_write, this,
boost::asio::placeholders::error));
}
else
{
delete this;
}
}
And in the client:
size_t reply_length = boost::asio::read(s,
boost::asio::buffer(reply, 4)); // replaced request_length with the length of the custom message.
The echo client/server is the simple example. What areas are you having trouble with? The client should be fairly straightforward since it uses the blocking APIs. The server is slightly more complex since it uses the asynchronous APIs with callbacks. When you boil it down to the core concepts (session, server, io_service) it's fairly easy to understand.
