|
I was working on an odb corruption crash inside db_delete_key() and I noticed
that I did not test db_delete_key() with follow_links set to TRUE. Then I noticed
that nobody nowhere seems to use db_delete_key() with follow_links set to TRUE.

I would handle this actually like symbolic links are handled under linux. If you delete a symbolic link, the link gets
detected and NOT the file the link is pointing to.

Hi all,
we have a CI setup which fails since 06.05.2025 to build the history_schema.cxx. There was a major change in this code in the commits fe7f6a6 and 159d8d3.

Hi all,
Would it be possible to extend manalyzer to support custom .root file names that include the run number?

Dear experts,
in the CYGNO experiment, we readout CMOS cameras for optical readout of GEM-TPCs. So far, we only developed the readout for a single camera. In the
future, we will have multiple cameras to read out (up to 18 in the next phase of the experiment), and we are investigating how to optimize the readout |

10 Jun 2025, Stefan Ritt, Info, History configuration changed
|
Today the way the history system is configured has changed. Whenever one adds new equipment
variables, the logger has to add that variable to the history system. Previously, this happened during
startup of the logger and at run start. We have now a case in the Mu3e experiment where we have many

10 Jun 2025, Nik Berger, Bug Report, History variables with leading spaces
|
By accident we had history variables with leading spaces. The history schema check then decides that this is a new variable (the leading space is not read
from the history file) and starts a new file. We found this because the run start became slow due to the many, many history files created. It would be
nice to just get an error if one has a malformed variable name like this.

I added now code to the logger so it properly complains if there would be a leading space in a variable name.

Hi,
During an evening of running we noticed that memory usage of mhttpd grew to close to 100Gb. We think we've traced this to the following issue when making
RPC calls.

Hi,
We applied an intermediate fix for this locally and it seems to have fixed our issue. The attached plot shows the percentage memory use
on our machine with 128 Gb memory, as a rough proxy for mhttpd memory use. After applying our fix mhttpd seems to be happy using ~7% of the memory |

I confirm that MJSON_ARRAYBUFFER does not work correctly for zero-size buffers,
buffer is leaked in the destructor and copied as NULL in MJsonNode::Copy().

Many thanks for the fix. We've applied and see better memory performance. We still have to kill and restart
mhttpd after a few days however. I think the official fix is missing this part:

Something changed in our system and we started seeing memory leaks in mhttpd again. I guess someone
updated some front end or custom page code that interacted with mhttpd differently.
I found a few memory leaks in some (presumably) rarely seen corner cases and we now see steady
