RE: asyn problem

Hi John,

Are you using gpib support?  This may not be related but I get a segmentation fault when I set eos to non-NULL in the DSET gpibCmd.  To fix, in asyn/asynGpib/asynGpib.c, the readIt routine, the eomReason pointer needs to be checked before setting:

    if(pgpibPvt->eoslen==1 && nt>0) {
        if(data[nt-1]==pgpibPvt->eos) {
/****  add eomReason pointer check ****/
            if (eomReason) *eomReason |= ASYN_EOM_EOS;
            nt--;
        }
    }
    if(nt<maxchars) data[nt] = 0;
    if(nt==maxchars)
/****  add eomReason pointer check ****/
      if (eomReason) *eomReason |= ASYN_EOM_CNT;

Perhaps Mark Rivers can add this fix to the next version of asyn?  And perhaps I shouldn't use devGpib but it seemed less work to convert my old existing gpib stuff to devGpib...

Thank you,

Stephanie Allison
