not working in 0071

[kylemcdonald]

simply putting a ofxHttpUtils http; in testApp.h causes:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Poco::SystemException'
    what():  System exception
Program received signal:  “SIGABRT”.

it looks like it's the creation of the ofThread inherited by ofxHttpUtils causing this problem, but it's hard to read the trace.

I'm getting similar issues (that are less verbose) in a program that compiles fine in 007 but sends me to this line in 0071 (just copying the same exact project over to 0071 from 007)

inline void MutexImpl::lockImpl()
{
if (pthread_mutex_lock(&_mutex))
throw SystemException("cannot lock mutex"); // This line gives me a sigabrt
}

And just this in the console on a build: terminate called throwing an exception so I suspect something is not happy with ofThread as well

apparently the fix for 0071 is to comment out the #include ofxThread.h and change the class ofHttpUtils : public ofxThread to class HttpUtils : ofThread (drop the x)...if I get a moment I'll try and do my first push to one of these addons..

It's really curious that this fix would solve the problem - you just manually do what ofxThread has done with a typedef. Strange...can a typedef have an influence like that? I thought it is a 1:1 substitution.

The error occur with me too in OF074 when I try to close the app right after the form is submitted.

inline void MutexImpl::lockImpl()
{
    if (pthread_mutex_lock(&_mutex)) 
        throw SystemException("cannot lock mutex");
}

Could this issue be related to this one:
openframeworks/openFrameworks#1857

How can I write a similar solution?

Thanks!

[Vamoss]

Well, I put the httpUtils.stop(); in the destroy function and probably solved the issue, it would be nice if you insert this code in the example.

Best,
