From 636a52312b9ba4c5ffc886c7bdba14bd76726976 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: brain Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2008 21:46:56 +0000 Subject: Fix a rather nasty race condition revealed by my reading through the comments and enhancing them. Back when i did executeable includes, i placed a 'todo' in the code which said something along the lines of: 'we cant pass a User* into the config reader any more, because when the config reader thread finishes, that user may be gone and this will crash. Consider using an UID instead so that if the user vanishes, we can detect this situation.' Of course, nobody ever did this, so i'm doing it now to ensure we dont come up against some particularly ugly race condition crashes! git-svn-id: http://svn.inspircd.org/repository/trunk/inspircd@10569 e03df62e-2008-0410-955e-edbf42e46eb7 --- include/inspircd.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/inspircd.h') diff --git a/include/inspircd.h b/include/inspircd.h index 8e5a5b2a8..4e37fae8d 100644 --- a/include/inspircd.h +++ b/include/inspircd.h @@ -283,9 +283,9 @@ class CoreExport ConfigReaderThread : public Thread { InspIRCd* ServerInstance; bool do_bail; - User* TheUser; + std::string TheUserUID; public: - ConfigReaderThread(InspIRCd* Instance, bool bail, User* user) : Thread(), ServerInstance(Instance), do_bail(bail), TheUser(user) + ConfigReaderThread(InspIRCd* Instance, bool bail, const std::string &useruid) : Thread(), ServerInstance(Instance), do_bail(bail), TheUserUID(useruid) { } -- cgit v1.2.3
