| Description | When NetSurf deletes a scheduled event, there is the possibility that it is already "in transit" to be triggered before the delete takes effect. This will occur in the following circumstance: * The triggered event is sent to the main NetSurf loop using an external (eg. OS) timer, which includes details of the callback. * The event is deleted before NetSurf returns to the main loop to pick up messages from the timer. * The callback is then called but the pointer passed may no longer be valid = crash. |
