Segmentation fault on sigint

Open hilt0n opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

After a CTRL-C, the process is normally stopping. However, after termination of downstream thread, I get a seg fault. The forwarder has been compiled for an ARM Cortex-A5. ` *** Multi Protocol Packet Forwarder for Lora Gateway *** Version: 3.0.0 *** Lora concentrator HAL library version info *** Version: 5.0.1; Options: native;


INFO: Little endian host `

It would help if you could run the software from gdb and provide information on where the issue occurs (in which function).

The strange thing is that I have it only without gdb... If you don't see it neither, it could be cause of ressource desctruction between thread, some timing difference could explain that.

By the way, I have seen a mistake concerning the call to freeaddrinfo, it should not be called when getaddrinfo returns an error since the result is null. The freeaddrinfo call will then result to a segafault as well.

i = getaddrinfo(servers[idx].addr, servers[idx].port_down, &hints, &result);
    if (i != 0) {
	MSG("ERROR: [down] getaddrinfo on address %s (port %s) returned: %s\n", servers[idx].addr, servers[idx].port_down, gai_strerror(i));
	//freeaddrinfo(result);
	return;
    }
