Confused by AdlibRegister/AdlibUnRegister

[milos83]

 

Using latest Autoit

The following code never gets to the third line (msgbox).

Why?
 

CheckWorkers()
Sleep(1000)
MsgBox(0,0,0);never gets here


Func CheckWorkers()

    AdlibUnRegister("CheckWorkers")

    Sleep(1000)
    AdlibRegister("CheckWorkers", 1000)

EndFunc

The bottom line is, if the duration of the function is >= Adlib interval, it will run forever. No matter if you did AdlibUnRegister on function start or not.

That is a truly bad written code.  What would be the purpose of creating such a bad logic ?  If you are trolling us to explain why, I suggest you take the time to test you false assumptions.

I am guessing if the duration of AdlibRegister("CheckWorkers", 1000) is equal to the first Sleep(1000), it cannot ever reach that Sleep, because you scheduled it to run CheckWorkers.

Global $iSleep = 500 ; 1000
codeIsAtLineNumber()
CheckWorkers()
codeIsAtLineNumber()
Sleep($iSleep)
codeIsAtLineNumber()
MsgBox(262144, "0", "0", 10) ;never gets here
codeIsAtLineNumber()

Func CheckWorkers()
    codeIsAtLineNumber()
    AdlibUnRegister("CheckWorkers")
    Sleep($iSleep)
    AdlibRegister("CheckWorkers", 1000)
    codeIsAtLineNumber()
EndFunc   ;==>CheckWorkers

Func codeIsAtLineNumber($iScriptLineNumber = @ScriptLineNumber)
    ConsoleWrite("@@(" & $iScriptLineNumber & ") : " & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & "." & @MSEC & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>codeIsAtLineNumber

..because, it interrupts the main code to run the AdLib. And you don't give it a chance to do anything else.

Ain't that the truth.

I don't know what the bottom line is. Looking at parallel processing in the WiKi would be the thing to do if the other function is so ..., time consuming ?
