Openrm return SIGSEGV

Developers

Hi, List
I’m trying to play with rm interface with pbspro 18.1.0
my test code below

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <rm.h>
int main()
{
	openrm("debian",15002);
}

as you can see, my distr is Debian/Sid
compile with

${CC} -o a.out test.c -I${PBS_EXEC}/include -L${PBS_EXEC}/lib -lpbs -lnet

During runtime

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PBS_EXEC/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#./a.out
Segmentation fault

Am i doing something wrong? it should return a negative value even the connections rather than a SIGSEGV.

You should generate a core file and analyze it with gdb. Make sure your core file limit is unlimited by running ulimit -c unlimited before you execute your binary. Once the core file is generated, analyze it by running gdb ./a.out <corefilename>. Once you see the gdb prompt, you may issue the command where or bt to print a backtrace. If you cut and paste the output, we can help you analyze it.

Thanks,

Mike

I examed $PBS_EXEC directory carefully and found that neither header (rpp.h) nor lib (librpp.a) exists.

add a call to set_rpp_funcs(NULL) before you do openrm.
It takes a function pointer to log messages. You can pass NULL if you do not want any logging.

You can also use pbs_rmget present in “${PBS_EXEC}/unsupported” directory. This binary does what you want to do.

It did solve SIGSEGV problem
One thing i should comment is that we can only use <source_code_location>/src/include to find rpp.h rather than <INSTALL_PREFIX>/include, as there is no rpp.h , but link to libpbs.so is vaild.

it’s good to hear we have pre-builded pbs_rmget command, however, this is a practice for myself just for fun :).

Thanks

Right, there is scope for improvement here. I think openrm should call this function internally to setup rpp functions if they are not set already. A user writing a program using rm library APIs should not do that.
