Subject: Segmentation Fault when exiting certain Area Detector IOCs

Hello EPICS Tech-Talk!


I have a question regarding a segmentation fault I am getting when exiting certain area detector IOCs. Thus far, I have noticed it on several detectors, including a prosilica IOC and a new driver I have developed for USB Video Class cameras. In the IOC shell, the only information given is: 


Segmentation Fault: line of st.cmd file that calls ioc binary.


Using the Visual Studio Code debugger I was able to trace the segmentation fault to the following function in the asynPortDriver.cpp file:


extern "C" {static asynStatus connect(void *drvPvt, asynUser *pasynUser)
{
    asynPortDriver *pPvt = (asynPortDriver *)drvPvt;
    asynStatus status;
    
    pPvt->lock();
    status = pPvt->connect(pasynUser);
    pPvt->unlock();
    return(status);    
}}


and it occurs in the line pPvt->lock(), meaning that most likely pPvt is NULL. Is there anything I should check for that could be causing this?


Thank you all in advance,


Jakub Wlodek
