This sample is an attempt to write a wrapper plugin which would run the
|
||||
real plugin in a separate thread. The current code is just a first prototype
|
||||
version aimed to determine the very possibility of such thing. It is not
|
||||
designed to handle more than one instance of one plugin. Another limitations
|
||||
are: it only relays browser-to-plugin calls in thread event based matter
|
||||
(calls from the plugin to the browser are just made directly by function
|
||||
pointer; it does not implement notifications back from the plugin thread
|
||||
to the calling thread, so it simply waits before each NPP_* call until
|
||||
the plugin thread is done with the previous NPP_* call.
|
||||
|
||||
The wrapper tested with Basic plugin sample from the plugin
|
||||
SDK, so some common plugin crashes can be modelled. Work is still
|
||||
required to make it functional with more complicated plugins
|
||||
like Flash.
|
||||
|
||||
Steps to see it in action:
|
||||
|
||||
-- place the wrapper plugin (npthread.dll) in the plugins folder
|
||||
-- remove npnul32.dll from the plugins folder
|
||||
-- rename the plugin you want to run in a separate thread adding
|
||||
two zeroes at the beginnig (ren npbasic.dll 00npbasic.dll)
|
||||
-- run test case for the plugin in question
