Hi all,
I'm struggling to understand an issue I'm having with a simple python block
with a registered message port connected to the copy block.
The python block looks like this: it literally does nothing, it just happens to
have a message port registered:
class signal_sink(gr.sync_block):
def __init__(self):
gr.sync_block.__init__(self, name="sink", in_sig=[np.float32], out_sig=None)
self.signal = pmt.from_bool(False)
self.port_name = pmt.intern("sig")
self.message_port_register_out(self.port_name)
def work(self, input_items, output_items):
return len(input_items[0])
Then I have a gr.unittest case that connects a vector_source, the copy block,
and the above signal sink:
def test_copy(self):
src_data = np.arange(1000)
src = blocks.vector_source_f(src_data)
copy = blocks.copy(gr.sizeof_float)
msg_debug = blocks.message_debug()
sig_sink = signal_sink()
self.tb.connect(src, copy, sig_sink)
self.tb.msg_connect(sig_sink, "sig", copy, "en")
# Run once (this run is successful)
self.tb.run()
# Run again (this run hangs)
src.rewind()
self.tb.run()
The second time the flowgraph is "run", it hangs indefinitely. GDB shows
sig_sink's thread state as
#0 pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 ()
at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/pthread_cond_timedwait.S:238
Commenting out the "self.tb.msg_connect" line stops the hang, as does
connecting sig_sink's message port to a message_debug block (which is not in
the flowgraph).
All this even though the sig_sink block doesn't send any signals over its
message port.
Any hints would be very much appreciated, my debugging prowess has taken me as
far as it's going to take me.
I've attached the complete test file that you can run with "python test.py"
Thanks in advance,
-Doug
