Crash with multiple ao_timer

[noreli]

My program crash with in a very simple program that involve ao_timer.

I use the menu to send a loop with a timer.
When I start the program, if I do repeatedly menu action, the program crash (in my case : only after I press 10 times the menu).

The loop function is :

def Loop_Timer(iTimer):
    tim = e32.Ao_timer()	
    for i in range(10):
        print "Timer %d #%d"%(iTimer, i)
        tim.after(1)

The main program is:

global iTimer
iTimer = 0

def hld_Loop_Timer():
    global iTimer
    iTimer += 1
    Loop_Timer(iTimer)        

appuifw.app.menu = [(u"Loop Timer", hld_Loop_Timer)]

app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()

I'm working on a N70 symbian 2nd Ed.

Has any one a solution ?
Is it a problem specific to N70 ou 2nd Ed ?

PS : I had to do this program to identify a critical issue I have in a real application i wrote.

Hello noreli

I tried your code. Somehow it didn't work out.May be having the same problem as in with you but when i modifies the code a little and called the function hld_Loop_Timer() more then once then too it works fine.

>>>
Timer 1 #0
Timer 1 #1
Timer 1 #2
Timer 1 #3
Timer 1 #4
Timer 1 #5
Timer 1 #6
Timer 1 #7
Timer 1 #8
Timer 1 #9
Timer 2 #0
Timer 2 #1
Timer 2 #2
Timer 2 #3
Timer 2 #4
Timer 2 #5
Timer 2 #6
Timer 2 #7
Timer 2 #8
Timer 2 #9
>>>

See thats the ouput I got and I thinks thats perfect as the system doent crash on the sencond timer.
I used the following modified code.

import e32,appuifw

def Loop_Timer(iTimer):
    tim = e32.Ao_timer()	
    for i in range(10):
        print "Timer %d #%d"%(iTimer, i)
        tim.after(1)

global iTimer
iTimer = 0

def hld_Loop_Timer():
    global iTimer
    iTimer += 1
    Loop_Timer(iTimer)        

hld_Loop_Timer()
hld_Loop_Timer()

Can you share where do you wish to use such a feature?

Hope that helps

Best Regards

Well, I knew that your solution would work. I turned around a lot before finding what's not working.

I use python to make an automate that works for months plugged with a solar pannel and retrieving local datas.
The automate performs a loop with timers and can be commanded through sms.
It exchanges files with a web server to transmit data collected or see new orders to perform from the server.

Some times I observe some crashes (when many SMS are sent together and iapconnect go in timeout). And as my hardware is very hard to reach (because remote), i want to be sure the code has no chance to crash.
