01 Apr 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, ODB and event buffer - release semaphore before abort() and core dump
|
There is a long standing problem with ODB and event buffers. If they detect an
internal data inconsistency and cannot continue running, they call abort() to
dump core and stop.

01 Apr 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, ODB corruption
|
We see ODB corruption crashes in the DS20k vertical slice MIDAS instance.
Crash is memset() called by db_delete_key1() called by cm_connect_experiment().

05 May 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, db_delete_key(TRUE)
|
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.

05 May 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, abort and core dump in cm_disconnect_experiment()
|
I noticed that some programs like mhist, if they take too long, there is an abort and core dump at the very end. This is because they forgot to
set/disable the watchdog timeout, and they got remove from odb and from the SYSMSG event buffer.

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().

23 Jul 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Suggestion, K.O.'s guide to new C/C++ data types
|
Over the last 10 years, the traditional C/C++ data types have been
displaced by a hodgepodge of new data types that promise portability
and generate useful (and not so useful) warnings, for example:

FILE history code (mhf_*.dat files) did not support reading history files bigger than about 2GB, this is now
fixed on branch "feature/history_off64_t" (in final testing, to be merged ASAP).
