SUGGESTION: Command line argument to REALLY disable plugins load

(1/1)

ElectroWizard:
A "bad" plugin STILL may crash C::B... even using --safe-mode

--safe-mode does NOT really prevent the loading of plugin libraries...



Of course: we can disable the loading in several ways, such as renaming the lib to "Name.so--" (in linux/*nix...)

but

May I suggest creating some --safe-mode alike CLI flags:


 --Disable-Load-All-Plugins to REALLY avoid loading ALL and ANY plugins libs

  and

 --Dont-Load-Plugin=<plugin1,plugin2...>


Thanks in advance

100% useless option. The compiler is a plugin, so not loading it means useless C::B!

If you don't need a plugin it is better to
1. delete if from system
2. not build it in the first place (on windows as far as I know you can choose which plugins to install)

p.s. I agree that the plugin system should be redesigned, but it will wait awhile before it happens.
p.p.s. Use a debugger to track the problem and report it properly, don't try to workaround it. :)

Nope, initially C::B was designed to be a powerful editor in this case, at least. Don't forget that you can even install C::B as an editor using the installer on Windows.

If disabled the compiler plugin makes C::B crash that this is a bug.

You can try for yourself, I don't think you could use C::B without a compiler...

Will do, but it really used to work safely for a long time.
