Re-compile check & callback for HB plugins

[cowdude]

Hi,

I am currently working on a small http server plugin (=> using threads) for HB and had some trouble detecting when the user forced a re-compilation of its plugins. I tried to use a class deconstructor which did not work at all, hence I coded a small and dirty class as a workaround.

Why would it be great to be able to hook it or implement class destruction ?

class Foo : HBPlugin {
public Foo () {
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStart += onBotStart;
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStop += onBotStop;
}
~Foo {
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStart -= onBotStart;
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStop -= onBotStop;
}
}

That won't work at all, and there is no OnRecompile delegate as far as I know... Because of this, you'll have many onBotStart/onBotStop callbacks registered that will be ALL called when the bot is starting or stopping if you recompiled your plugins....

Anyway, here is my (awful) workaround:

    class RecompileHelper
    {
        public delegate void Callback();
        Callback callback;
        string hook = null;

        public RecompileHelper(string h, Callback cb)
        {
            hook = h;
            callback = cb;
            Logging.Write(hook);
            Logging.OnWrite += ReadLog;
        }

        void ReadLog(string line, System.Drawing.Color c)
        {
            if (line == hook)
            {
                Logging.OnWrite -= ReadLog;
                Logging.Write("Recompile detected.");
                callback();
            }
        }
    }

public class Foo : HBPlugin {
...
public Foo () {
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStart += onBotStart;
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStop += onBotStop;
recompileHelper = new RecompileHelper("My Foo plugin is launching.", Cleaner);
}
void Cleaner () {
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStart -= onBotStart;
Styx.FiniteStateMachine.Engine.OnEngineStop -= onBotStop;
}
}

}
}

I found the same issues on my CC, i made a descontructor but it just ended up crashing hb on the start. As i placed a text in the Constructor to print when loading up the bot. it Just print it 2 to 8 times when i press start.
