Mbed Tickerfunction hangs system from revison 65

something has changed with revision 65 Mbed lib's and the ticker function. Now the systems hangs when i call a ticker.... revision 64 works fine. Any suggestion?

Hi,

Could you please provide full reproducibility instructions for this issue? I wasn't able to reproduce it locally.

Thanks, Bogdan

try this example with rev 64 and 66 I'm using the ticker inside a thread. Is that a problem, and if so, why does it work on rev 64?

Thanks, I can reproduce it now. Unfortunately, the fix isn't simple. It has to do with the new CallChain class and the fact that is uses new/delete (and in your particular case, detach calls CallChain::clear, which in turn does a delete in an interrupt context, hence the problem). I have to think about a proper fix for this.

Have a try, For the moment i'm happy with rev 64. It's needed to start/stop a pulsetrain generator. tnx bert

hi version 67 has still the same problem. I modified the code a bit, the the issue is the indeed the detachfunction.

Yes, still looking for a suitable solution. I might reverse the implementation of add/remove to the previous behaviour that didn't use call chains, which would fix the issue, but will remove a feature. But the alternatives don't look better, so this is what I'll probably do in the end.

https://github.com/mbedmicro/mbed/commits/master/libraries/mbed/common/Ticker.cpp That code was changed around 2weeks ago.

Could you tell me more detail (e.g. platform) about this?

lpc1768 RTOS..... platform Mbed online compiler

any tickerattach (secs or usecs) will hang the system. like this flipper.attach_us(&flip, 300);

rev 64 is ok, rev 65,66 will have this problem

thanks

I reported this problem to mbed team. They will solve or reply to your question. :-)
