Variables bug report thread

Variables plugin

This plugin doesn't add any functionality on itself. But other plugins can use it to format a string which contains variables. Currently some plugins are already using the functionality of Variables, for example NewAwaySys, Modern CList, CList Nicer, StartupStatus and MSNMods. Variables v0.2.0.x is still in development state, but I'd appreciate some feedback. The main goal of this thread is to locate bugs. Request for additional features can be made, but will not have priority.

The new version of Variables includes a unicode version. Non-unicode aware plugins should work fine on the unicode version of Variables. The other way around is NOT supported.

Before posting a bug report in this thread, please read the instructions at http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=622 and post your versioninfo log together with the exact string and location (options screen/AwaySys dialog/CList row) that causes the problem, if possible.

Since I expect some problems with the new unicode version, I also included the previous version of Variables which should be (somewhat) stable.

Grab it here: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~pboon/variables.zip
I modified CList Modern to use the new unicode version of Variables, please note this is just for experimental use: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~pboon/clist_mod...nicode_mod.zip

This is a really exciting update. Unfotunatly I'm having som trouble with it but I'm not entirely sure th variables plugin is all to blame. My Miranda crashes whenever I go online since I installed the unicode version of variables. But the crash log refrences the my details plugin. I'll investigate further and post a crash report if I don't get it sorted.

I'm looking forward to having this working with clist modern unicode.

Same here, but it only happens while i try to connect with the (unicode) msn plugin, otherwise it works okay.

My Details use variables to parse the result of a NAS service to get status message.

What it does is this:

char *msg;
...
char *tmp = variables_parse(msg, NULL, NULL);
lstrcpyn(msg, tmp, msg_size);
variables_free(tmp);

Using the old m_variables.h

What I need to do to it support the unicode version? Change that msg to a WCHAR? If this is the case, I'll have to do an unicode build for my details...

EDIT: I took a look at the new header. Except for the size of the struct, everithing seens to be the same as the new version of the API...

You shouldn't have to change anything. I'll take a closer look at what goes wrong. Unfortunately people don't post their versioninfo log, since I think it only happens in combination with NAS, but I'm not sure.

I can confirm this. I had crashes all the time until i removed NAS. Now it runs smoothly.

The crash below occurs with NAS enabled.

Yes, it should happens only with NAS because this is the only case that My Details calls variables

(If the bug happens without NAS, there will be something veeeery wrong :P )
