Crash after connect

[jorisrobijn]

Hi,

I have a SDRplay duo, and am running SoapySDRremote on a raspberry pi. When I connect with CubicSDR, from a windows PC on the same network, it crashes. I can connect to the device when I connect it locally on the PC.

BTW, why are there ao many new threads being spawned and exited all the time?

I cant tell much from the backtrace, if you run this locally on the raspi when the server is running do you get the crash?

• SoapySDRUtil --find="driver=remote,remote=localhost"
• SoapySDRUtil --make="driver=remote,remote=localhost"

Whats the output of SoapySDRUtil --info on the raspi

Any duplication install stuff that would cause ABI issues on the raspi, like the same packages from source and from deb packages while compiling? Like libsoapysdr installed from a deb, and actually development files for soapysdr from source.

BTW, why are there ao many new threads being spawned and exited all the time?

Its parallelizing the discovery stuff with std::future(), which is spawning the reads

[jorisrobijn]

I don't think there are packages also present compiled from source. The Soapy and SDRplay stuff were installed from git source.
The --find and --make commands don't crash the server.

Below is output from SoapySDRUtil --info

The --find and --make commands don't crash the server.

Thats good to hear, this could easily be cubic calling a setting on the SoapySDRplay thats crashing rather than a general problem. There could be a call set segfaults on arm or something like that.

Running the server in gdb is the right idea. I think if you build SoapyRemote and SoapySDRplay with debug and get a backtrace, it should show the call. And maybe its something we can report to the respective issue tracker.

There is no (date) sorting in the issues, a bump won't do anything but annoy people.

We can't reproduce and need more info: where does that throw of a string (e.g. throw "the error string";) originate? It's not SoapyRemote, all throws are std::runtime_error here.
