[ANY TFS] Catch scripts that freeze server

[Infernum]

put this code in a lib file (global.lua if tfs 1.x):

local start = os.time()
local linecount = 0
debug.sethook(function(event, line)
    linecount = linecount + 1
    if os.time() - start >= 1 then
        if linecount >= 30000 then
            print(string.format("possible infinite loop in file %s near line %s", debug.getinfo(2).source, line))
            debug.sethook()
        end
        linecount = 0
        start = os.time()
    end
end, "l")

example output:

possible infinite loop in file @data/global.lua near line 83

reason: i forced this infinite loop to hang server

local i = 1
while true do
    i = i + 1
end

if this script is producing false positives, change linecount >= 30000 to linecount >= 1000000, there should be no way other than an infinite loop to produce 1,000,000 line executions in 1 second

Oh my god! That guy is supa dupa amazing!
I wish to give him +rep and follow~

@Stigma work with tfs 0.4?

 

[Infernum]

says any tfs in the title

 

[Sarah Wesker]

interesting .

 

[adric21]

@Stigma if its tfs 0.4 where i need paste the code data/libs/???

Same here :/

Apparently this script wasn't working for over a year because I somehow managed to release it after testing and put snuck in an os.mtime() where it shouldn't have been, I updated the script and retested and now it works.

If you get an error with global debug, some script you have is overriding the debug library which is why you should be careful with variable names.

Thank you!

Hello
i am using a table with a script in actions

local config = {
[5555] = xx,
}

using many UIDs
when i use these lines i get warning of infinite loop

local item_uid = config[item.uid]
if item_uid then

what can be the problem with that? And how to avoid infinite loop?

based on the code you sent it's a false positive likely from all scripts loading on server start, read the bottom of the original post

very nice, how did I missed it? btw does it only display one "script" at time?

well yeah because if there's an infinite loop there's nothing else that can execute in other files because the infinite loop blocks execution of everything else

Yes i read it but I didn’t know that could be a false positive.
Thanks for answer.

This is awesome, thanks for the release

Thanks!

on top of your script i wrote something like this it shows (or should show) scripts that execute longer then 5 ms

local log_slow_exec_startExecProg = os.clock()
local log_slow_exec_currExecProg = ""

local log_slow_exec_ReportTime = 0.005 -- where 1 is 1 second and 0.005 is 5 ms

-- enable disable this logger
local ExtendedDebug = true

debug.sethook(function(event, line)
    if ExtendedDebug and log_slow_exec_currExecProg ~= debug.getinfo(2).source then
      if log_slow_exec_currExecProg ~= "" then
        local execTime = os.clock() - log_slow_exec_startExecProg
        if execTime > log_slow_exec_ReportTime then
          print(string.format(">>> long file %s executed in %.3f ms", log_slow_exec_currExecProg, execTime*1000))
        end
      end
    end
    if ExtendedDebug and log_slow_exec_currExecProg ~= debug.getinfo(2).source then
      -- init file changed
      log_slow_exec_startExecProg = os.clock()
      log_slow_exec_currExecProg = debug.getinfo(2).source
      -- print ("source changed: " .. log_slow_exec_currExecProg) -- display source file changed for debugging only
    end
end, "l")

Cool thanks
