Reposted as this post was lost in the roll back.

[czardas]

I'm sure there are several tickets to sort through when time permits, but this one seems significant to me: #2997

[jaberwacky]

My post was lost, so thanks Jon!

Hi Jon,

czardas raised an important point here. Indeed we've seen a number of users hitting a fatal (hard crash) stack overflow condition when using PCRE with heavy backtracking (desired or not).

This caused some discussion about what to do about that, with various valid arguments. On the one hand, AutoIt should never crash, so recovering gracefully by traaping the stack overflow condition is good. OTOH, compiling PCRE for using the heap instead of the stack is another way to dramatically deal with the problem.

The drawback I see with the latter solution is that it silently promotes widespread use of badly written patterns (uselessly backtracking), up to letting unsuspecting users reuse those wrong patterns in other contexts, which I feel isn't exactly the right way to deal with the issue.

Careless use of repeated or nested undefinite repetition with + or * easily leads to horrible backtracking (unless the PCRE compiler optimizer guards against some of these cases). Of course the ideal would be to raise some flag before dramatic failure, but this is impossible in practice: PCRE contains a large number of optimizations, yet there are countless cases where detecting when a given pattern is likely to turn novae when processing a large input is beyond todays capabilities of a standard library.

More fuel sent in PM. Thanks for considering and making a balanced decision.

update.dat is out of date, still has 3.3.13.19 as the latest beta.

[wakillon]

For info i get this message from Eset Smart Security when installing this Beta

Previous versions had never caused this kind of problems ! 

[jchd]

Yeah, got it too and reported the false positive.

[UEZ]

I'm missing the "Select a default option for '*.au3 files." selection where I can set whether to run or edit the script after double clicking the file.

Default is "Edit the script" which I don't prefer.

[wakillon]

Yeah, got it too and reported the false positive.

 

Ok, I had not yet seen that i could submit false positives by the ESET himself...

I thought it was an online service ! 

Thanks !

UEZ,

Having just done a full re-install, I can tell you that you only get the "edit/run" choice when installing the full release versions - the Beta just adopts the same setting. But SciTEConfig allows you to change the overall setting very easily.

[UEZ]

Ok, meanwhile I changed it but to be honest I cannot remember whether any Beta didn't offer to change it. After installation of the beta the scripts were opened in SciTE not run.

[jpm]

Melb23 is right beta use the same as the release choice

Cheers

in version 3.3.13.20 ticket problem #2901 isn't solved

problem with allocation of memory and a mistake when reading the file simply nullify work with file system in new versions of language

I from the Russian-speaking forum AutoIT. our subject on language problems

http://autoit-script.ru/index.php?topic=359.msg117141;topicseen#new

I ask to excuse for machine translation

Only the result of reading with UTF8_NOBOM is an error, as it returns binary while the file (containing only ANSI characters) is valid for this mode.

Of course, the memory allocation error is clearly a bug when the file is shorter than the declared BOM length!

 UTF16_LE, UTF16_BE and UTF8 (meaning UTF8_BOM) all fail since they expect 2-, 2- and 3-BOM bytes resp. which are not correct and the content is not valid for either UTF16.

Maybe that if a read mode with explicit BOM is passed and the file doesn't have one, FileRead should raise an error or backtrack to the default read mode (check for UTF8 on limited size content).

As always, the saying "know your data!" is right.

[joiner]

The code wrote in version 3.3.12.0 - no problem 

Local $hBase = FileOpen($Base);I used different parameter values of "mode" - the error remains
If $hBase = -1 Then Return 2
FileSetPos($hBase, 12, 0)
Local $sReadPage = FileRead($hBase, $nSizePage);returns not the text

When testing in version 3.3.13.19-20 --- problem(error)

Any additional dances with a tambourine aren't registered in help to the beta-version.

Another is important - when it is corrected?

[Mat]

Could you please write a standalone reproducing script, with an example file.

[jchd]

Mat, see the referenced ticket #2901

[Mat]

Ah cool. Jon knows about then.

_FileWriteToLine always returns @error 5 because True = 1 and False = 0 for $bOverWrite parameter.

Func _FileWriteToLine($sFilePath, $iLine, $sText, $bOverWrite = False)
...
...
If Not IsBool($bOverWrite) Or $bOverWrite = 0 Or $bOverWrite = 1 Then Return SetError(5, 0, 0) ; For old versions.
