More modifications- and I can't figure out where the problem is. I tried gmi->name=NULL that didn't work either Then I thought I should remove the null metric and have only one metric like: gmi = (Ganglia_25metric*)apr_array_push(metric_info); gmi->name= apr_pstrdup (pool,"Random_Numbers_2"); gmi->tmax=90; gmi->type=GANGLIA_VALUE_UNSIGNED_INT; gmi->msg_size= UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8; gmi->units= apr_pstrdup (pool,"Num"); gmi->slope=apr_pstrdup (pool,"both"); gmi->fmt=apr_pstrdup (pool,"%u"); gmi->desc= apr_pstrdup (pool,"Example module metric (random numbers) 2"); MMETRIC_INIT_METADATA(gmi, pool); MMETRIC_ADD_METADATA(gmi,MGROUP,"example_2"); printf ("\n First metric done"); /* gmi = (Ganglia_25metric*)apr_array_push(metric_info); printf ("\nStarted second metric.."); gmi->name= apr_pstrdup (pool,"Constant_Number_2"); gmi->tmax=90; gmi->type=GANGLIA_VALUE_UNSIGNED_INT; gmi->msg_size= UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8; gmi->units= apr_pstrdup (pool,"Num"); gmi->slope=apr_pstrdup (pool,"zero"); gmi->fmt=apr_pstrdup (pool,"%u"); gmi->desc= apr_pstrdup (pool,"Example module metric (constant number) 2"); MMETRIC_INIT_METADATA(gmi, pool); MMETRIC_ADD_METADATA(gmi,MGROUP,"example_2"); printf ("\nSecond metric done"); */ //gmi = (Ganglia_25metric*)apr_array_push(metric_info); //printf ("\nStarted null metric"); //gmi->name= apr_pstrdup (pool,NULL); //memset (gmi, 0, sizeof(*gmi)); printf ("\nMetric initing done"); return 0; And this gives a segfault too! And here is the output: In the ex_metric_init function Got first GMI First metric done Segmentation fault ie there is a segfault between the last and second last printf statements! Any clues?
