Forgot to copy this to the list - I think the bug is fixed
Thanks for your help. I'm quite new to contibuting back into git-hosted
projects, so forgive me if I've got it wrong...
The last commit I pulled from github/gnuradio is
fb064e3c69cc7618da5c3d9c0dba2fecd84f1323
The place the problem occurs is in fft_filter.cc - line 319 onwards
gr_complex *a = d_fwdfft->get_outbuf();
gr_complex *b = d_xformed_taps;
gr_complex *c = d_invfft->get_inbuf();
volk_32fc_x2_multiply_32fc_a(c, a, b, d_fftsize);
where we call a volk routine on the outbuf and inbuf of a fft_complex instance
I think the cleanest way is to fix fft.cc to use volk_malloc - I also made it
use its own alloc routines so there's only one set of calls to volk_malloc().
Patch attached
It seems to work - the code that previously sometimes crashed hasn't done yet -
but that's not quite proof the bug is fixed
Best wishes
