Problem with .DLL and global variables

Hi,
I need some helps to figure out my problem.
I wrote a .dll file to open and run a GUI. When I run it at the first time, it is ok. When I call it again, there is an error "Pointer to free memory passed to library. It will be ok if I completely exit the program that calls the .dll before re-call it. I think there is some problems with global variables when I call another thread. How can I free global variables between threads. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks

Vinh Pham:
Are you doing anything intentionally that frees your globals?
CVI ships with an example program that demonstrates calling a DLL to create a user interface: guidll.cws.
I made two simple modifications to guidll.cws.
1. In guidll.c, I made hpanel global by moving its declaration from RunDLLUI() to right below the #include statements.
2. In useguidll.c, I duplicated the lines calling RunDLLUI () and MessagePopup() to call the DLL gui twice.
I built the project and ran it.  I had no problems with free'ed globals.
Take a look at the guidll example.
Can you either post your code or a modification to guidll that demonstrates the problem you're having?

  • Shared and Global Variable Issue with Motor VI

    Hello,
    I have written a VI that will command a stepper motor to follow the desired profile and loop the profile until the user pushes the stop button. I modified the state machine example from LV to achieve this. I now want to connect a linear potentiometer to the linear actuator to verify that the distance I commanded the motor to travel is the actual distance that it traveled. I am using a NI 9219 module to collect the data from the potentiometer.
    When I added the potentiometer to the program, the cRIO-9073 chassis that I am using immediately crashes and looses connection with the computer when I click the Run VI button. I looked into this a little more and it seems that the chassis will crash only when I add shared and global variables to the VI. I think it has something to do with the Network Variable Engine; I don’t have it installed on the chassis because the motor program alone will not run if it is installed on the chassis. Also, I have the chassis configured to the RT setting and not the FPGA setting.
    I have attached a snippet of the code. I am using LV 2014 SP1 along with the SoftMotion module. The motor is connected to LV through a P70530 stepper drive which is connected to a NI 9512 module with the proper connectivity bundle. Is there something wrong with the VI that would cause the chassis to crash? Why will the simple motor VI not work when the Network Variable Engine is installed on the chassis? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Follow up to this post:
    Sometimes when I try to connect the project to the chassis I get the following error: "Failed to load shared library taggerrt.out. Ensure that the library is present on the RT target. Use either MAX to install NI software or FTP to transfer custom librarier to the RT target."
    I have tried re-installing the NI Device Drivers and reconfiguring the software on the cRIO chassis using MAX; however, the error keeps showing up. I read somewhere that the taggerrt.out library is a part of the Network Variable Engine but I don't know why it wouldn't be found when the NVE software is installed on the chassis. This message only comes up when I also have the SoftMotion Module software installed on the chassis. Has anybody else encountered this problem or know why this could be happening? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • I'm having a problem with coreaudiotoolbox and corevideo.dll.

    I'm having a problem with coreaudiotoolbox and corevideo.dll. PC was corrupted, I restored. Now when I launch Safari, I run into errors, can't find these two dll files. Itunes won't download at all because it says something is missing but won't say what. Now what do I do? Apple won't help because they want $50 dollars just to talk with me and I've been down that road before and to no satisfaction. Help please!!

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with Apple Application Support program files there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept, so an AAS problem can affect both iTunes and Safari.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click Repair.
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post (although it's for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things):

  • Problems with SwingWorker and classes in my new job, ;), can you help me?

    Hi all, ;)
    First of all, sorry about my poor English.
    I have a problem with Swing and Threads, I hope you help me (because I'm in the firsts two weeks in my new job)
    I have two classes:
    Form1: Its a JPanel class with JProgressBar and JLabel inside.
    FormularioApplet: (the main) Its a JPanel class with a form1 inside.
    I have to download a file from a server and show the progress of the download in the JProgressBar. To make it I do this:
    In Form1 I make a Thread that update the progress bar and gets the fole from the server.
    In FormularioApplet (the main) I call to the method getDownloadedFile from Form1 to get the File.
    THE PROBLEM:
    The execution of FormularioApplet finishes before the Thread of Form1 (with download the file) download the file. Then, when I call in FormularioApplet the variable with the file an Exception: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-1" java.lang.NullPointerException is generated.
    First main begins his execution, then call to Form1 (a thread) then continues his execution and when the execution is finished ends the execution os Form1 and his thread.
    How can I do for main class call the function and the Thread download his file after main class assign the file of return method?
    How can I pass information froma class include an a main class. Form1 can't send to main (because main class made a Form1 f1 = new Form1()) any information from his end of the execution. I think if Form1 can say to main class that he finishes is job, then main class can gets the file.
    I put in bold the important lines.
    Note: My level of JAVA, you can see, is not elevated.
    THANKS A LOT

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Problem with writing and reading using serialization

    I am having a problem with writing and reading an object that has another object in it. The purpose of the class is to write a order that has multiple items in it. And there will be several orders. This is for an IB project, where one of the requirements is to utilize a hierarchical composite data structure. That is, it is "one that contains more than one element and at least one of the elements is a composite data structure. Examples are, an array or linked list of records, a record that has one field that is another record, or an array". The code is shown below:
    The error produced is

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

  • Problem with filePathSeperator and /

    Problem with fileSeperatorChar and /. When I use fileSeperatorChar (to lacate a folder), the path is specified wrong. I want my program to run on different OS, so I need this to work.
    If I do this:
    JLabel label = new JLabel("", new ImageIcon("Images/label.gif");
    //or something like that it works. Will this give me multiple platform support?
    But when I try:
    JLabel label = new JLabel("", new ImageIcon("Images" + filePathSeperatorChar + "label.gif");
    //or something like that They all compile, but I took this off the top of my head. Anyway, when I print out the path for the second technuige, the path reads like this:
    Images;label.gif

    You used filePathSeparator. On Windows you use a semicolon to separate the components of a path, which is a list of directories or jar files, which is why you are getting a semicolon. You want the system property "file.separator" instead. Or use the variable File.separatorChar.

  • Problem with Frameset and page session

    All,
    I am having a problem with Framesets and page session attributes. I
    have a client who's application uses a three frame frameset. They
    have a requirement on several pages that when a button is pushed two
    different pages load into the right and left frames. The way they
    are accomplishing this is that on the pages were this is required,
    they are adding target="_top" to the form declaration in their JSP.
    Then they store the page names they want to display in session,
    forward the request to the frameset, the frameset then determines
    which pages to display based on the session variables. This works
    exactly how they want it to.
    Here is our problem. We need to store some information in page
    session attributes. We have tried to get a handle to the desired
    view bean and call the setPageSessionAttribute method. However,
    since we are forwarding to the frame and the frame handles displaying
    the desired JSP, that view bean we had the handle to is not the one
    that is created to hand the display of the JSP.
    The next thing I tried was to use the request object. In the
    handleBtnRequest method, I set an attribute in the request object. I
    then query the request object in the beginDisplay event of the view
    bean. When the frame is reset the request object does not contain
    the attribute that I have set. I'm confused by this because I
    thought the request object would be available to me throughout the
    life of the request.
    Given the above information, does anyone have any suggestions? Also,
    am I going about this in the wrong manner.
    The client had been storing this information in user session, which
    seemed to work. However, since the data being stored dealt
    specifically with data for the requested page, we felt that storing
    it as page session was more appropriate.
    Thanks,

    The script on your page web page has some obvious bugs.. Best
    fix those
    first before looking to blame Flash.

    If you want to listen to changes in the textfield's contents you should use a DocumentListener and not a PropertyChangeListener:

    And please use [co[/i]de]  tags when you are posting code (press the code button above the message window).

  • Problems with RAC and XA: Fallback

    Hello,
    we are seing problems with RAC and XA (Tuxedo 11, DB 11.2), specifically encountering "ORA-24798: cannot resume the distributed transaction branch on another instance".
    The first scenario relates to fallback after a RAC node failure. There are two servers, S1 and S2. S1 makes an ATMI call to S2. Both servers are in the same Tuxedo group, using TMS_ORA. RAC is set up for failover (BASIC), no load balancing.
    The sequence is:
    - S1 and S2 are connected to the same RAC node n1. All is well.
    - RAC node n1 fails. S1, S2 and the TMS_ORA all fail over to RAC node n2. After the failover has happened, all is well.
    - RAC node n1 recovers. All is still well (as there is no automatic fallback).
    - S1 (or S2) is restarted (either intentionally or because of a crash). Since n1 is up again, S1 connects to n1. Now we get ORA-24798. Permanently.
    S1 is connected to n1 and S2 is connected to n2. Since both are in the same group, both use the same XA transaction branch. When called, S2 attempts to JOIN the transaction branch that S1 started. But the DB (11.2) does not allow the same branch to span more than one node. Hence the ORA-24798.
    This seems to be a severe limitation in the combination of Tuxedo, XA and RAC. It basically means we still have to use DTP services, even with Tuxedo 11 and DB 11.2. Or are we missing something?
    We could put S1 and S2 into different groups, but that seems to be inefficient, and not practical for a real application (10s of servers).
    I am extrapolating from this that RAC load balancing would also not work, as S1 and S2 could be connected to different RAC nodes.
    Roger

    Roger,
    When using an external transaction manager such as Tuxedo you should still declare Oracle services as DTP services when using Oracle Database 11g. The Tuxedo documentation is not clear about this. The relevant 11gR2 RAC documentation is at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/hafeats.htm and states
    "An XA transaction can span Oracle RAC instances by default, allowing any application that uses the Oracle XA library to take full advantage of the Oracle RAC environment to enhance the availability and scalability of the application.
    "GTXn background processes support global (XA) transactions in an Oracle RAC environment. The GLOBAL_TXN_PROCESSES initialization parameter, which is set to 1 by default, specifies the initial number of GTXn background processes for each Oracle RAC instance. Use the default value for this parameter clusterwide to allow distributed transactions to span multiple Oracle RAC instances. Using the default value allows the units of work performed across these Oracle RAC instances to share resources and act as a single transaction (that is, the units of work are tightly coupled). It also allows 2PC requests to be sent to any node in the cluster.
    "Before Release 11.1, the way to achieve tight coupling in Oracle RAC was to use Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP) services, that is, services whose cardinality (one) ensured that all tightly-coupled branches landed on the same instance—regardless of whether load balancing was enabled. Tightly coupled XA transactions no longer require the special type of singleton services to be deployed on Oracle RAC databases if the XA application does not join or resume XA transaction branches. XA transactions are transparently supported on Oracle RAC databases with any type of service configuration.
    A"n external transaction manager, such as Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server (OraMTS), coordinates DTP/XA transactions. However, an internal Oracle transaction manager coordinates distributed SQL transactions. Both DTP/XA and distributed SQL transactions must use the DTP service in Oracle RAC."
    This issue came up earlier this year in another newsgroup thread at https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2165803

  • Potential Problems with Airplay and Mountain Lion

    Hey Everyone,
    I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I tried to use Airplay with our Macbook Pros. Airplay would work with all of the iOS Devices, but when it came to using with the MBP, it would either show a black screen, or a frozen image of my screen. I called AppleCare, and the rep told me it was a problem with the AppleTV, so I returned it and bought a new one, and it did the same thing. I found out that the problem was occuring because of the type of router I was using. I have a dualband router, and I set everything on one band of the router. I decided to try to place the laptops on a different band, and that's all it took. My airplay now works flawlessly.
    So, if you're having a problem with airplay, and you have a dualband router, try placing your computer & iOS devices on the opposite band, and it should work perfectly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Local and global variables in ABAP Debugger

    hi guys.
    we have the following support package:
    SAP_BASIS     640     0025     SAPKB64025     SAP Basiskomponente
    I would like to use in the debugger the local and global variables tab strip, but I can not find it. Is it possible. that our support package is too low for this functionality?
    Thanks a lot.

    Starting with SAP NetWeaver 6.40, SAP released a new version of the Debugger.
    The Debugger available in Release 6.40 was not considered complete (and was
    not the default debugger as a result)
    The Variable Fast Display tool currently has four tabs . The first
    two are provided empty, and you can either type or double click a name in the
    source code to add it to the list. The third tab (Locals) shows all local variables
    for the current program modularization unit, and the fourth (Globals) shows all
    global variables in the current program.

  • Problem with JFrame and busy/wait Cursor

    Hi -- I'm trying to set a JFrame's cursor to be the busy cursor,
    for the duration of some operation (usually just a few seconds).
    I can get it to work in some situations, but not others.
    Timing does seem to be an issue.
    There are thousands of posts on the BugParade, but
    in general Sun indicates this is not a bug. I just need
    a work-around.
    I've written a test program below to demonstrate the problem.
    I have the problem on Solaris, running with both J2SE 1.3 and 1.4.
    I have not tested on Windows yet.
    When you run the following code, three JFrames will be opened,
    each with the same 5 buttons. The first "F1" listens to its own
    buttons, and works fine. The other two (F2 and F3) listen
    to each other's buttons.
    The "BUSY" button simply sets the cursor on its listener
    to the busy cursor. The "DONE" button sets it to the
    default cursor. These work fine.
    The "SLEEP" button sets the cursor, sleeps for 3 seconds,
    and sets it back. This does not work.
    The "INVOKE LATER" button does the same thing,
    except is uses invokeLater to sleep and set the
    cursor back. This also does not work.
    The "DELAY" button sleeps for 3 seconds (giving you
    time to move the mouse into the other (listerner's)
    window, and then it behaves just like the "SLEEP"
    button. This works.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    f3.addListeners (f2); // 3 listens to 2

    I've had the same problems with cursors and repaints in a swing application, and I was thinking of if I could use invokeLater, but I never got that far with it.
    I still believe you would need a thread for the time consuming task, and that invokeLater is something you only need to use in a thread different from the event thread.

  • Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

    When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
    /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
    *was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
    The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
    +was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update+
    Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.
