Hi,

I am currently trying to port wvstreams and wvdial to Maemo Linux
operating system.

I got this run time error when running it with a 3G modem. It occurs
before launching PPP daemon to connect with 3G server. Can anyone tell
me the purpose of WvTaskMan class and getcontext function?

wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:199 WvTaskMan::WvTaskMan(): Assertion
`getcontext(&get_stack_return) == 0' failed.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Phi

WvTask is a cooperative threading system, which uses getcontext and
setcontext to save and restore the state of each thread when switching
tasks.  getcontext is a standard library function - "man getcontext"
should explain how it works.

Try running wvstreams through "strace" so you can see the actual error
code returned by getcontext.

Hi all, is there any workaround for getcontext on ARM platform?

Hi Joe Mason,

Thanks. I have followed your suggestion to use strace. If I got the
following output from strace, do you find any hints which will create
the run-time error I mentioned?

>> wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:199 WvTaskMan::WvTaskMan(): Assertion `getcontext(&get_stack_return) == 0' failed.

And do you think the problem line is the following line? I am making
such a guess because makedev might be needed to create a new thread?

fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0

Regards,
Philip

Hi Philip,

> Hi all, is there any workaround for getcontext on ARM platform?

I didn't think we would *need* to workaround it on the ARM.  There's
no reason (that I know of) that getcontext wouldn't "just work."

If we send you a patch, can you try applying it and see what happens?

Can you try using the 'revert-wvtask' branch of wvstreams from
git://github.com/apenwarr/wvstreams.git and see if that works any
better?

> fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0

The "= 0" at the end means the fstat was successful.  And makedev() in
this case just means "the device object make from major=136, minor=0".

Unfortunately getcontext is not a kernel system call so the advice to
run strace won't actually help much.  But please try my above-linked
git version of wvstreams and let me know if that helps.

Thanks,

Avery

Hi Philip,

Thanks for confirming back.  That's a really long thread, and I
*think* the important changes discussed there were included in the
revert-wvtask branch in git.  Did you try out that branch to see if it
works without any changes?

Even if you don't use git, you can download a tarball of that version
by clicking the 'download' button at this link:
http://github.com/apenwarr/wvstreams/commits/revert-wvtask

Please let me know if that branch works for you.

Have fun,

Avery
