Hi all,

last week I was running MIDAS with the commit 3ad98c5. Today I updated MIDAS and now all my watch functions are crashing. Attached I have a minimal example frontend of the problem.

In our software we have two functions one which sets up the ODB values of the frontend and another one which sets up all watch functions. So overall we connect two time to the ODB during fronend_init one time to create the values and one time to create the watch. In the example code a simple version of this setup is shown:

INT frontend_init() {

  cm_msg(MINFO, "frontend_init() setup", "Test FE");

  odb settings = {
    {"Test", 123},
    {"sub", {}}
  };
  settings.connect_and_fix_structure("/Equipment/Test FE/Settings");
  // settings.watch(watch); <-- this works without segmentation fault

  odb new_settings("/Equipment/Test FE/Settings");
  new_settings.watch(watch); // <-- here I am getting a segmentation fault

  return CM_SUCCESS;
}

When I directly set the watch everything runs fine however, when I create a new ODB object and use this one to set a watch I am getting the following segmentation fault:

Process 18474 stopped
* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x34)

   93  	      if (po->m_data == nullptr)
   94  	         mthrow("Callback received for a midas::odb object which went out of scope");
   95  	      midas::odb *poh = search_hkey(po, hKey);
-> 96  	      poh->m_last_index = index;
   97  	      po->m_watch_callback(*poh);
   98  	      poh->m_last_index = -1;
   99  	   }

Best,
Marius
