Hi Jerome, to find where the segfault problem comes from, you can run catchsegv yade script.py the output tells the last actions before the segfault. If the output is too long, you can try catchsegv yade script.py > /tmp/segv.err or catchsegv yade script.py 2> /tmp/segv.err (don't remember) and provde the segv.err file
cheers Jan PS: this is exactly the point I mentioned in [1]. If you use these functions in C++, using boost::python stuff is extra, std::vector should be used instead of boost::python::tuple and the buust::python stuff should only be used to interact with Python :-) [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/yade- d...@lists.launchpad.net/msg13300.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yade developers, which is subscribed to Yade. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764424 Title: Segfaults with boost::python::tuple during simulation loop Status in Yade: New Bug description: Hi, I'm currently facing segmentation fault when using "my" MeasureCapStress post-processing engine (this constitutes a regression..). A example script appears at the end of this message (it's better, though not necessary here, to have the capillary files from https://www.yade-dem.org/w/images/d/d2/CapillaryFiles2016.tar.gz). I get the crash with the trunk version as of today or yadedaily (for instance), and having Python 2.7.12 installed on my machine. There is some random pattern in the way crashs occur, with e.g. the following messages: - *** Error in `/usr/bin/python': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00000000008fa220 *** followed by plenty of "Backtrace" and "Memory map" lines ending with "Aborted (core dumped)" - or just "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" that appear after a variable number (not much, though) of iterations. It seems also possible to go through a greater number of iterations by hand-clicking on GUI step button than by asking O.run()... Anyway, the crash seems to occur during (or just after) the definition of a boost::python::tuple variable, equal to Shop::aabbExtrema(), at [*]. I'm quite puzzled by all this, would someone have an idea ? Is there any particular (de-allocating ?) practice to follow when using such Python-C interfaced variables in the C++ code ? Thank you very much, Jerome ### Script example ### # two contacting particles with a capillary bridge inbetween.

While another boost:python: appears L64, it seems L63 is enough to cause the crash. Indeed, crash also occurs when just hardcoding in L64 "volume = 1.0;" (making L63 useless but still annoying enough to cause the crash) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/yade/+bug/1764424/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : yade-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
