This is not OK.

Also, I started adding the temp to the log when a unit throttles...
I'm thinking about adding code with slows the unit a bit as it reaches it's individual throttle temp. Like waiting 500ms before sending new work or something. Maybe. Dunno.

If I had the time/could be bothered I'd put timers around each of the send/receive and find the max/min/avg values. But that ain't gonna happen in the next week or so.

I've done that, get the following:

ID: BFL0   Dev Max: 0.024049   Dev Min: 0.000366   Dev Av: 0.009301
ID: BFL1   Dev Max: 15.335547   Dev Min: 0.000389   Dev Av: 0.012155
ID: BFL2   Dev Max: 15.335506   Dev Min: 3.8E-5   Dev Av: 0.011484
ID: BFL3   Dev Max: 15.33545   Dev Min: 0.00036   Dev Av: 0.027547
ID: BFL4   Dev Max: 0.02345   Dev Min: 0.00036   Dev Av: 0.009153
ID: BFL5   Dev Max: 0.023163   Dev Min: 0.000404   Dev Av: 0.008941

So I put get times immedately before and after the serial port read function inside BFgets.
Dev max is (surpisingly) the max time a read took
Dev min is (surpisingly) the min time a read took
Dev av is (surpisingly) the overall average, that is all the read times summed, then divided my the read count.

So it's pretty apparent that when the single throttles, comms just stop.

You create a .bat file with a loop that runs CGMiner, and when CGMiner closes itself after 5000 shares, the loop restarts CGMiner. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I would be careful about this. You may want to add a TIMEOUT or use the ping technique to make sure threads are closed, and that the OS has released handles, otherwise the new cgminer instance won't properly grab them. 5 or 10 seconds should do the trick.

When I did this, I added a 30 delay after startup to start, and a timeout of 10 second in the loop.

is really annoying for the 7 days bug !

i wonder if possible to add auto restart feature for windows CGminer

so every 7 days it will auto restart itself !

well you should be able to with task schedule

You can also use:
--shares Quit after mining N shares (default: unlimited)

in a loop

i dont know how to use window scheduler and

--shares Quit after mining N shares (default: unlimited)

you mean the miner will quit after mining example : 5000 share and it will auto restart and mining again ?

So, is it safe to use 2.6.4 for ltc mining now? I'm on solo and one message I received among the "new block detected on network" was "rejected 040ccc8e blabla Gpu1". Do I have to worry? Should I use an older version? Total noob to cgminer. Used cgeasy to configure (Thanks! great help) to set everything for solo ltc mining.

It is quite normal to get reject just after new block and/or longpool on any version.

One of my binaries? Which one?

Thanks. It looks like the code was up to date, but I built it before pulling the version number change on the laptop, sorry about that. Reuploaded packages.

The crash in libcurl was tracked down with the help of Kano. Interestingly this bug was always there but because previous versions queued so much extra, the number of "curls" in existence never dropped low enough to hit the bug.

Of course, despite being credited to Kano, this was debugged by me, and actually originally fixed in BFGMiner 2.6.3:

Code:

commit 1946c806922a66935856c32b6ca12d10db033b07
Author: Luke Dashjr 
Date:   Sun Aug 5 22:50:24 2012 +0000

    Bugfix: Check list_empty in pop_curl_entry after condition wait
    
    pthread_cond_signal wakes AT LEAST one thread, so it's possible the freed up curl has already been taken

lulz - it was the one you copied:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/c7bcad653b79ee54429aec4964f4aa80e49db1d1
to here:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/commit/c7bcad653b79ee54429aec4964f4aa80e49db1d1
(see the same commit numbers ...)

Is this the first time you expressed your absolute ignorance of how git works in public?
...

Hmm, when was the last one ... oh yeah I remember ... about 2 weeks ago ...
"I'm not a git export" ... Cheesy

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1055547

So you fixed it and then applied ckolivas fix also?
Doubly fixed now in your miner

Twice as fixed

Good for you

Be happy

For the sake of others who aren't programmers and have an obviously good reason to not understand how git works: Every commit in cgminer, including cgminer's master branch, also exists in bfgminer's repository when I do general "tree" merges for any other changes made to cgminer. What is canonical is the main bfgminer branch, is the chain of "first parents". Gitorious has a nice graph view of the tree where you can clearly see the canonical bfgminer branch (left-most), the cgminer branch (2nd left-most), and other feature/bugfix branches being merged in. You can also use your browser's find-in-page feature to locate 1946c80 (the original fix in BFGMiner 2.6.3) and c7bcad (the later cgminer duplication-of-effort).
