Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Folks,

I’ve done some more testing on this problem:

• It happens on the windows-x64 and windows-x64-debug architectures.
• It does not happen on the windows-x64-static architecture.
• The application crashes if a pvAccess client connects to the 13BF1:Pva1:Image, even if the camera is not acquiring.

This is the complete stack trace when the error happens:

The last line for which I can see the source code and variable values is line 99 in pvAccess/src/server/pv/responseHandlers.h

https://github.com/epics-base/pvAccessCPP/blob/981ea5a540a0e53fe94fc33c8734e855b1b90e3a/src/server/pv/responseHandlers.h#L99

The value of payloadSize in this function is 0.  I see that line 98 above calls toEcho.resize(payLoadSize), and then passes address 0 of this vector in line 99.  This seems suspicious, but maybe it is OK?

Folks,

I am running a new areaDetector camera.  It generates frames that are 4096x3072 pixels, 8-bit.  I can collect data from the camera at 150 frames/s using a BitFlow CoaXSpress card with no problems.  This is on a Windows PC.

However, when I try to use pvAccess to read the data from the NDPluginPva plugin I get an assert error in pvAccess in my Windows application.  The error message is in the attachment.

This happens when I use the ImageJ pvAccess plugin, and also when I use the following Linux command on another machine:

$ pvmonitor 13BF1:Pva1:Image > /dev/null

Any idea what the problem could be?  This is base 7.0.7.

Thanks,

Mark
