Obviously. I think ExtPascal is promising, but sadly suffers from some major
design flaws (garbage collect, thread model); which prevent me from
using it: they can (and do) lead to serious memory corruption.
I'm maintaining 2 FCGI apps using CGI gateway. The FCGI app will terminate
itself after being idle for 30 minutes. So far, everything is fine.
Though I must admit that once in a while it just hung up but it very
rarely happened. According to the app log, it only happen twice last
year, which made me have to kill it manually. Well, I can live with that.
:D Maybe it's because the suspected memory corruption as you said?
Here I can reliably reproduce the memory corruption. It crashes the output
regularly. (with random use, it happens 10-15 times a day, in a test enviromnent).
The bug is in the garbage collector, which attempts to free objects that have
already been freed, but were not removed from the garbage collector list.
I know that the garbage collector was reworked, but the correct
implementation would have been to remove the garbage collector
altogether and use TComponent decsendents instead.
Michael.
