Description
Fixed a data race during fader/volmeter detachment and source destruction.
Stack trace:
Motivation and Context
The old detach logic used a raw
obs_source_t *and resolved the signal handler from that source during detach. If source destruction won the race, detach could pass a stale/freed handler intosignal_handler_disconnect.Crash Scenario:
SceneItem::Remove->Source::Release->Fader::Detach.Source::Releasetriggers source remove/destroy on another thread.Fader::Detachruns concurrently and enters detach.fader->source, then callsobs_source_get_signal_handler(source).signal_handler_disconnecttouches invalid handler state and crashes in mutex unlock/read (0x8)What Changed
All changes are made solely in
obs-audio-controls.c:obs_faderandobs_volmeternow store weak source handles plus cached handler pointersobs_source_get_weak_source)signal_handler_connect_refsource/handlerunder mutexWhy This Fix
ProbablyWorks 😊signal_handler_connect_refguarantees handler lifetime until matching disconnect.Conclusion
How Has This Been Tested?
Win/Mac, manually
