[linux-audio-dev] Re: [linux-audio-user] hydrogen crashes / extract waves from .mid-files of ddrum

I have found it's a lot more likely to segfault immediately on startup if JACK is run in verbose mode, and the crashes are more likely with lower latencies. 32 frames almost always crashes. 128 almost always succeeds. 64 is hit or miss. Lower latencies are less likely to crash on a faster machine. I have reproduced this across several versions of JACK and Hydrogen on multiple machines. I got a backtrace from gdb and this is where it crashes (from src/lib/Hydrogen.cpp): inline void audioEngine_process_clearAudioBuffers(uint32_t nFrames) { *---> memset( m_pMainBuffer_L, 0, nFrames * sizeof( float ) ); // clear main out Left memset( m_pMainBuffer_R, 0, nFrames * sizeof( float ) ); // clear main out Right As soon as it goes to clear the audio buffers, boom. As the problem is timing sensitive it's certainly a race condition. I cannot determine whether the bug is in JACK or hydrogen though. I have reported the problem on hydrogen-devel and got no response whatsoever. It's getting to be frustrating as the bug is 100% reproducible, but I can't even get the Hydrogen developers to ACK my bug report. Here is the backtrace.
