Hi Michael,

this I got got today from Patrik once:

*** Error in `pvget': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer:
0x00007fe74e0a1010 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x70bfb)[0x7fe762345bfb]
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x76fc6)[0x7fe76234bfc6]
/home/patrik/GITHUB/epics-base/epics-base/lib/linux-x86_64/libpvAccess.so.6.0.1(_ZN5epics8pvAccess6detail25BlockingTCPTransportCodecD2Ev+0x425)[0x7fe7638179c5]

But there's a more general problem on our side.

It has something to do with multiple networks? And I still haven't understood the impact of all the environments.

Starting testserver:

epics@kannsein:~$ testServer
VERSION : pvAccess Server v6.0.1-SNAPSHOT
PROVIDER_NAMES : local,
BEACON_ADDR_LIST :
AUTO_BEACON_ADDR_LIST : 1
BEACON_PERIOD : 15
BROADCAST_PORT : 5076
SERVER_PORT : 5075
RCV_BUFFER_SIZE : 16384
IGNORE_ADDR_LIST:
INTF_ADDR_LIST : 0.0.0.0

On an other Terminal

epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$ pvlist
(no output)
epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$ pvlist 141.14.133.59
testADC
testAggregate
testBinaryCounter
testCounter
testHistogram
testMP
testNameValue
testRandom
testTable

epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$ pvlist 10.20.30.1
testADC
testAggregate
testBinaryCounter
testCounter
testHistogram
testMP
testNameValue
testRandom
testTable

Seems to works on both networks. But why no output on pvlist (without arguments) ?

epics@kannsein:~$ export EPICS_PVAS_AUTO_BEACON_ADDR_LIST=NO
epics@kannsein:~$ export EPICS_PVAS_BEACON_ADDR_LIST=10.20.30.1
epics@kannsein:~$ export EPICS_PVAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST=10.20.30.1
epics@kannsein:~$ testServer
VERSION : pvAccess Server v6.0.1-SNAPSHOT
PROVIDER_NAMES : local,
BEACON_ADDR_LIST : 10.20.30.1
AUTO_BEACON_ADDR_LIST : 0
BEACON_PERIOD : 15
BROADCAST_PORT : 5076
SERVER_PORT : 5075
RCV_BUFFER_SIZE : 16384
IGNORE_ADDR_LIST:
INTF_ADDR_LIST : 10.20.30.1

After 15 about 15 seconds the other terminal shows

epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$ pvlist
GUID 0x0CC9D05B00000000422E1420 version 1: tcp@[10.20.30.1:5075]
epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$ pvlist 0x0CC9D05B00000000422E1420
Failed to resolve GUID '0x0CC9D05B00000000422E1420’!

After that no more output on pvlist without arguments????
epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$ pvlist
epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$

this still works

epics@kannsein:~/BASE/epics-base$ pvlist 10.20.30.1
testADC
testAggregate
testBinaryCounter
testCounter
testHistogram
testMP
testNameValue
testRandom
testTable

What is the right way to define the environments in our situation?

Thank you Heinz
