Freezing host application (unity freezing)

[devingDev]

I'm on windows using Unity 2022.3.28f1 and the current latest commit on this repo. I tried the nuget package and also this, but neither works perfectly inside Unity.

The second time I press play it freezes up and I have to force stop it in task manager.

Found this but i don't know how to fix it right now: https://forum.zer7.com/topic/10126/

Fixed it this way if anyone cares: In WinHidManager.cs

1. Change this part in the Run method:

NativeMethods.MSG msg;
while (true)
{
    int result = NativeMethods.GetMessage(out msg, hwnd, 0, 0);
    if (result == 0 || result == -1) { break; }

    NativeMethods.TranslateMessage(ref msg);
    NativeMethods.DispatchMessage(ref msg);
}

to:

NativeMethods.MSG msg;
_hwnd = hwnd;
while (true)
{
    int result = NativeMethods.GetMessage(out msg, hwnd, 0, 0);
    if (result == 0 || result == -1) { break; }

    NativeMethods.TranslateMessage(ref msg);
    NativeMethods.DispatchMessage(ref msg);
}

2. After or before the Run method add this:

		static IntPtr _hwnd;
		public static void QuitThisBs()
		{
			uint WM_QUIT = 0x0012;
			if (_hwnd != IntPtr.Zero)
			{ 
				PostMessage(_hwnd, WM_QUIT, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
			}
		}

		[DllImport("user32.dll")]
		static extern bool PostMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

3. In your code where you exit or want to stop it call WinHidManager.QuitThisBs(); (For me I did it in the OnDestroy method Unity provides, but you can call it anywhere even prematurely while game is still running)

4. Done!

Thanks for your report and investigation on the fix! Care to open a PR with these changes?

Thanks @devingDev !

I can confirm that this fix resolves the issues with Unity Editor on Windows (I am using Unity 2021.3.14)

However, I still had problems accessing the “QuitThisBs” function in WinHidManager from one of my own scripts, i.e. from outside. I have therefore added this to WinHidManager:

At the beginning of the Run method: Application.quitting += OnApplicationQuit;

And a new method:

        private void OnApplicationQuit()
        {
            QuitThisBs();
        }

thanks again for this fix, now I don't have to restart unity every 5 seconds ;)

There is also a problem with the MacHidManager:

After reloading the domain/assembly, the IOHIDManager is still running and listen for device changes. Some cleanup is required here.

` protected override void Run(Action readyCallback) { readyCallback(); return;

		using (var manager = NativeMethods.IOHIDManagerCreate(IntPtr.Zero).ToCFType())
		{
			RunAssert(manager.IsSet, "HidSharp IOHIDManagerCreate failed.");

			using (var matching = NativeMethods.IOServiceMatching("IOHIDDevice").ToCFType())
			{
				RunAssert(matching.IsSet, "HidSharp IOServiceMatching failed.");

				var devicesChangedCallback = new NativeMethods.IOHIDDeviceCallback(DevicesChangedCallback);
				NativeMethods.IOHIDManagerSetDeviceMatching(manager.Handle, matching.Handle);
				NativeMethods.IOHIDManagerRegisterDeviceMatchingCallback(manager.Handle, devicesChangedCallback, IntPtr.Zero);
				NativeMethods.IOHIDManagerRegisterDeviceRemovalCallback(manager.Handle, devicesChangedCallback, IntPtr.Zero);

				var runLoop = NativeMethods.CFRunLoopGetCurrent();
				NativeMethods.CFRetain(runLoop);
				NativeMethods.IOHIDManagerScheduleWithRunLoop(manager, runLoop, NativeMethods.kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
				try
				{
					readyCallback();
					NativeMethods.CFRunLoopRun();
				}
				finally
				{
					NativeMethods.IOHIDManagerUnscheduleFromRunLoop(manager, runLoop, NativeMethods.kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
					NativeMethods.CFRelease(runLoop);
				}

				GC.KeepAlive(devicesChangedCallback);
			}
		}
	}

How did you add Application.quitting to the Run method in WinHidManager? I do not seem to have one?

Just like this, right at the start a register to the quitting event, only works with in Unity because "Application" is from using UnityEngine;

        private void OnApplicationQuit()
        {
            QuitThisBs();
        }

        protected override void Run(Action readyCallback)
        {
            UnityEngine.Application.quitting += OnApplicationQuit;

            // Rest of the run function ...
        }
