[Q] ruby 1.8.6 p287 and p383 crashing in WIN32OLE_EVENT.message_loop

From: Chuck Remes <cremes.devlist@...>
Date: 2009-09-02 17:48:09 UTC
List: ruby-talk #345504
Sorry for the long subject. I wanted to make sure folks interested in  
WIN32OLE stuff saw it.

Anyway, I am doing some application automation on Windows using the  
WIN32OLE classes. In this particular case, I have registered event  
handlers for a bunch of possible events that may be generated by  
another Windows application. I have tested about a dozen of these  
handlers and all is well. However, I added one more and now when I  
trigger the event that calls it, ruby crashes.

If I am using ruby 1.8.6 patch level 287, it generates a segfault and  
writes the usual message:

>> This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an  
>> unusual
>> way.
>> Please contact the application's support team for more information.

It also gives me a line number in my code. This line corresponds to  
this code:

WIN32OLE_EVENT.message_loop

I took the error message at face value and decided this was a ruby bug  
so I upgraded to patch level 383. (For this installation I used the  
one-click installer available from rubyinstaller.org, preview 2).

It still crashes but now it doesn't give me any code line or write any  
message at all.

I'm not well versed in Windows programming so I don't really know how  
to debug this. Here is what I have tried:

1. I've narrowed the "cause" down to the line of code that generates  
the event that the handler will get on the next call to  
WIN32OLE_EVENT.message_loop. If I comment it out, the program  
continues to run. With it in, the program crashes.

The line in question is calling a method on a WIN32OLE COM object that  
was previously retrieved via WIN32OLE.new. The method called generates  
a callback event after it finishes processing. This same COM object is  
also used for making other method calls that are all succeeding just  
fine.

2. I thought that perhaps I had a bug in my event handler code. I  
commented it out. The crash still occurs.

This leads me to believe that the event being received is causing the  
crash. I have *no idea* how to get deeper on this without getting the  
ruby C source and mucking about inside the #message_loop code.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this? If you need more  
information, let me know. At this point this crash is a showstopper  
for me because I *need* to be able to process the event that is  
causing the crash.
