Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] RuntimeError: udp_sink(1): insufficient connected output ports

Yeah I was getting crashes in apps like gqrx. Took a few days to debug. There were some recent changes to logging. Log4cpp is going to be a required dep soon, so might as well install it anyway, but in the interim there is some more commentary on the issue here:

Ron,

You can take these caps as enthusiastic shouting:  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.  That fixed my issue. I really needed that to enjoy my weekend :)

Glad you also mentioned needing to rebuild GNU Radio.  That really was necessary.

Have a really great weekend!

Thanks,
Mike

I've been having troubles with the master branch lately myself. I've traced it to having liblog4cpp5 installed or not. If liblog4cpp5 is NOT installed, GNU Radio seems oddly unstable, especially for OOT modules. Note that build-gnuradio does NOT install liblog4cpp5.

Try installing liblog4cpp5-dev (sudo apt-get install liblog4cpp5-dev) and rebuilding GNU Radio.

gnuradio version: 3.7.12git-218-g811bee8c installed from build-gnuradio script.
Dev PC: Xubuntu 16.04 running in VM Workstation  (mentioned because some python bugs are hypervisor effected only)
Problem: I am getting errors when running flow graphs in GRC after adding variables to the udp_sink_impl.h file.

I've been struggling all week making changes to an existing project (https://github.com/ghostop14/gr-grnet) that are alternate versions of TCP/UDP sink/source. I planned on starting with this project, adding in some missing bits from the gr-blocks UDP sink/source, and then finally modifying it for our particular application (raw protocol instead of UDP with IP).

I'm having problems adding variables to udp_sink_impl.h/udp_source_impl.h without getting errors when running the flow graph. I may be overlooking something simple, but I'm really just trying to append the new variable following the usage of other existing variables.  I think there is either something wrong with my python 2.7 on my xubuntu 16.04 PC, or there needs to be additional memory allocated somewhere. Typically, when adding a new variable to udp_sink_impl.h, I'll get the following, where the "NUM needed" varies from run to run:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mike/top_block.py", line 110, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/mike/top_block.py", line 99, in main
    tb.start()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr/top_block.py", line 109, in start
    top_block_start_unlocked(self._impl, max_noutput_items)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr/runtime_swig.py", line 5681, in top_block_start_unlocked
    return _runtime_swig.top_block_start_unlocked(r, max_noutput_items)
RuntimeError: udp_sink(1): insufficient connected output ports (54929632 needed, 0 connected)


Other times, the flowgraph will start and then crash after the private  constructor finishes and the error will be related to python2 and corrupted size vs prev_size...

*** Error in `/usr/bin/python2': corrupted size vs. prev_size: 0x0000000003428620 ***

Comment out the variable, and then it runs every time.  Geez, while writing this email, I restored the variable to get the corrupted size error.  Pressed Play again and it ran.  Sometimes 2/3 tries works, and other times 2/3 tries gets the python error (I did not notice that behavior until just now). Added another variable, and then it went up to like 1 in 6 worked or 1 in 10 worked, and with another variable added, it doesn't ever work again.  So this looks like a memory allocation/corruption problem that somehow randomly works.

When testing block changes, what is the correct process to ensure gnuradio sees the newest installed code only? I've been doing:

(current dir is build)
sudo make uninstall && sudo ldconfig && cd .. && rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../
make -j8 && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig

Is there something I'm missing that completely removes old stuff or failing to import all the new stuff?

I do have another local repo where I have many more changes and the payload_size is working (don't know what changed when it suddenly started working), but further adding variables like 'eof' result in the error in question.  The simplest changes I can make and reproduce this can be seen here: https://github.com/ghostop14/gr-grnet/compare/master...BCITMike:master. I'm changing 4 files:
modified: grc/grnet_udp_sink.xml
modified: include/grnet/udp_sink.h
modified: lib/udp_sink_impl.cc
modified: lib/udp_sink_impl.h

So either I'm missing something fundamental or my dev setup is bad.  If someone can point out what I'm missing to make this work, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!
Mike
