The basic principle here is "if you're not expecting it, don't catch it".
Event handlers are **never** supposed to throw exceptions. If they do throw exceptions, it's usually going to one of two things;
1. Broken code producing an error
2. Code triggering (and not catching) a runtime error
Both 1) and 2) boil down to defective code on the part of the event handler, and thus should not be caught by the caller, but instead allowed to crash the server and produce a crashdump.
It's also undesirable to catch unexpected errors here for a few other reasons
- It leaves the owner of the event handler in an unknown, potentially unstable state
- It allows broken code to cause event handlers to spam the logger in events that happen frequently (for example movement handlers)
- It allows the process to continue down a train of further undefined behaviour, which may lead to more errors or ultimately a crash, so it makes no sense to hold off the inevitable.
This has a few advantages that are not merely inverted disadvantages:
- Crash dumps will now be created and automatically submitted for defective event handlers, allowing quicker issue location, debugging and fixing in plugins without manual user interaction
- Event calling now isn't dependent on Server to work.
This assumes that the region is properly garbage-collected and packed, but if the file contains uncollected garbage this may not be the case, resulting in a region larger than a gigabyte.
readline on Windows causes issues with console output corruption. Additionally, PM readline impl is extremely buggy and probably ought to be removed. However, have a hotfix for now.
This came to light after observing cfb6856634f91930f6e013e7b98edb638dea15d9 in a fresh light. I noticed that this fix should not have been necessary because clearPermissions() should have dealt with it. Unfortunately, permissions can be set without being set in PermissibleBase->permissions, so this misses things.
