I am working on a module of the ns-3 simulator. For people unfamiliar with it, they exhibit a custom-made shared pointer: Ptr<T>. These objects are usually created using the CreateObject<T>(…) function which basically calls new T(…) and wraps it in a Ptr<T>.
I’m having troubles using one of these that I created in a constructor:
SatUtHelper::SatUtHelper (SatTypedefs::CarrierBandwidthConverter_t carrierBandwidthConverter,
uint32_t fwdLinkCarrierCount,
Ptr<SatSuperframeSeq> seq,
SatMac::ReadCtrlMsgCallback readCb,
SatMac::ReserveCtrlMsgCallback reserveCb,
SatMac::SendCtrlMsgCallback sendCb,
RandomAccessSettings_s randomAccessSettings)
: m_superframeSeq (seq),
m_llsConf (),
[...snip...]
{
[...snip...]
m_llsConf = CreateObject<SatLowerLayerServiceConf> ();
}
and that I use like so:
Ptr<SatRandomAccessConf> randomAccessConf = CreateObject<SatRandomAccessConf> (m_llsConf, m_superframeSeq);
The SatRandomAccessConf constructor begins like so:
SatRandomAccessConf::SatRandomAccessConf (Ptr<SatLowerLayerServiceConf> llsConf, Ptr<SatSuperframeSeq> superframeSeq)
: m_configurationIdPerAllocationChannel (),
m_slottedAlohaControlRandomizationIntervalInMilliSeconds (),
m_allocationChannelCount (llsConf->GetRaServiceCount ()),
m_crdsaSignalingOverheadInBytes (5),
m_slottedAlohaSignalingOverheadInBytes (3)
{
NS_LOG_FUNCTION (this);
if (m_allocationChannelCount < 1)
{
NS_FATAL_ERROR ("SatRandomAccessConf::SatRandomAccessConf - No random access allocation channel");
}
m_slottedAlohaControlRandomizationIntervalInMilliSeconds = (llsConf->GetDefaultControlRandomizationInterval ()).GetMilliSeconds ();
DoSlottedAlohaVariableSanityCheck ();
and contains some checks past that point which blows up due to having llsConf in an incoherent state.
I have used GDB to inspect the state of the llsConf object:
I put a breakpoint on the DoSlottedAlohaVariableSanityCheck ();
I called methods on llsConf that indeed returned garbage values;
I checked values of m_allocationChannelCount and m_slottedAlohaControlRandomizationIntervalInMilliSeconds that were not the same as the return values from the methods of llsConf;
I checked in upper frames the values on m_llsConf which were as expected;
I checked the content of the objects in both frames that differed in the caller and the callee; the content of llsConf having a suspiciously large amount of attributes set to 0.
Relevant parts of the GDB session:

Does someone have any idea how the parameter passing and the copy assignment can allow such behaviour?
My problem at the moment is I am trying to change a label(label 16) to the first value of entry_values[0] which isn't working I have tried passing it in as a variable and many other things, after about an hour of research I couldn't find a solution.I think the main problem is that it sets the label before the code with the entry is run so that it wont change. when I set it to a textvariable it produces an empty string (I think) but when I use just text it puts in a 0 where I expect my number.

In order to change the text of a label you can do:
label["text"] = textVar
or
label.config(text=textVar)
So in your above code, when the entry changes, reconfigure the label using one of the above options.
I have 2 listboxes (which are connected so that items can move from one to the other) and at the end I would like to get all the entries in the second listbox by using a 'Ok' button (or simply closing the frame). I could add/remove values to a list every time an item is selected (as shown in the commented section of the code below) but I would rather have a single line of code along the lines of [master.selected.get(idx) for idx in master.selected.curselection()] in the close function but I am unable to get it working.
Code:
def measurementPopup(self,master):
self.chargeCarrier = StringVar()
self.massModifiers = StringVar()
self.chargeCarrier.set("[M+xH]")
def onselect1(evt):
w = evt.widget
index = int(w.curselection()[0])
value = w.get(index)
# My Dirty fix -> Here I could enter the selected value to a buffer list (to be returned in the ok function).
master.selected.insert(END,value)
master.avail.delete(index)
def onselect2(evt):
w = evt.widget
index = int(w.curselection()[0])
value = w.get(index)
# My Dirty fix -> Here I could remove the selected value from a buffer list (to be returned in the ok function).
master.selected.delete(index)
master.avail.insert(END,value)
def close(self):
# Here I would return the buffer list and close the window
master.measurementWindow = 0
top.destroy()
if master.measurementWindow == 1:
return
master.measurementWindow = 1
top = self.top = Toplevel()
top.protocol( "WM_DELETE_WINDOW", lambda: close(self))
self.charge = Label(top, text = "Charge", width = 10)
self.charge.grid(row = 0, column = 0, sticky = W)
self.min = Label(top, text = "Min", width = 5)
self.min.grid(row=0, column = 1, sticky = W)
self.minCharge = Spinbox(top, from_= 1, to = 3, width = 5)
self.minCharge.grid(row = 0, column = 2, sticky = W)
self.max = Label(top, text = "Max", width = 5)
self.max.grid(row = 0, column = 3, sticky = W)
self.maxCharge = Spinbox(top, from_ = 1, to=3, width=5)
self.maxCharge.grid(row = 0, column = 4, sticky = W)
self.chargeCarrier = OptionMenu(top, self.chargeCarrier, "[M+xH]", "[M+xNa]")
self.chargeCarrier.grid(row = 0, column = 5, sticky = W)
self.availMass = Label(top, text = "Available")
self.availMass.grid(row = 1, column = 1, sticky = W)
self.selectMass = Label(top, text = "Selected")
self.selectMass.grid(row = 1, column = 3, sticky = W)
self.massMod = Label(top, text = "Mass Mods")
self.massMod.grid(row = 2, column = 0, sticky = W)
self.avail = Listbox(top)
for i in UNITS:
if BLOCKS[i]['available'] == 1:
self.avail.insert(END,BLOCKS[i]['human_readable_name'])
self.avail.grid(row = 2, column = 1, columnspan = 2, sticky = W)
self.avail.bind('<<ListboxSelect>>',onselect1)
self.selected = Listbox(top)
self.selected.grid(row = 2, column = 3, columnspan = 2, sticky = W)
self.selected.bind('<<ListboxSelect>>',onselect2)
self.ok = Button(top,text = 'Ok',command = lambda: close(self))
self.ok.grid(row = 3, column = 0, sticky = W)
I have tried to use the following small snippet in the close function:
values = [master.selected.get(idx) for idx in master.selected.curselection()]
print ', '.join(values)
However, the for segment doesn't return anything. I would expect that this is due to the fact that nothing is actually selected but that I would need something opposite, along the lines of master.selected.allitems() (if it exists and if I understand it correctly).
Summary
How would one get all the items in 1 specific listbox?
The .get() function for the Listbox widget allows you to specify a range of items, which can be specified as 0 to END to return a tuple of all the items.
Example:
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

I hope this helps, if it's not what you were looking for let me know in a comment and I can try expand my answer.
Does not need to be a full debugger but i need to get a good stack trace dump when an assert is raised. A simple list of called functions is not enough. I'm pretty happy with my Eiffel system which is giving me something like
17 frames in current stack.
===== Displaying only top 10 frames in run-time stack =====

It means i get a dump of all stack variables and the current (this) object.
And the best is that i can ship this to the customer because it requires zero configuration on the client side.
Does anyone know how i can do this in a C++/C or even D or CObject (i have to switch the langauge anyway and this are my four preferred targets)?
And everyone who says i should deploy GDB will get downvotes.
for windows, look at minidumps, creatable with methods in toolhelp.dll
If you're on Linux with glibc look into the 'backtrace()' function.
I've used it on a PPC system to get stacktraces whenever a critical error occurs.
In my implementation I just log the return addresses and use a script on the host platform (based around addr2line) to translate is back into filename/function name/line number.
As stijn pointed out, under Windows a minidump may be sufficient. If it is, it'll undoubtedly be a whole lot easier than almost any alternative.
A minidump won't be very close to what you're getting from Eiffel though. If you need something closer, you'll probably have to write (most of) the code yourself. The Antex Stack Walker would probably be a reasonable start (look for stackwalker.cpp and stackwalker.h).
You might want to look at google-breakpad: http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/
It's the project formerly known as Airbag:
http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2006-09-12/deploying-the-airbag/
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Airbag
I'll admit that I haven't used it (my needs for something like this have been Windows-only), but it appears to have Mozilla behind it and seems to be pretty active.
It's a set of libraries and tools to automatically send crashdumps to a server so you can do post mortems. As I understand it Firefox is currently using it, so I imagine it's pretty cross-platform. The downside is that it's not self-contained in the client program - you need some infrastructure in place for it to be useful. That might or might not be workable for your situation.
Though if you don't want to have a service that gets the reports (maybe you just want them on the client or have them sent by email) I imagine you could have the client reporter send it's information to a 'server' program that also exists on the client machine to do the reporting. No idea how much work it would be to get it to function like that.
