Assert failure when calling notify()

SNMP++/AGENT++

Hi,

We’ve migrated our agent from 32-bit Linux to 64-bit and are encountering a crash when sending an SNMPv2 trap via notify(). The backtrace shows

#0 0x00007ff95b56fb0a in raise () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6

Does the mib object need to be locked (via mib->lock()) first?

The MibEntry needs to be locked only

  1. if it is writable
  2. if it might change the Vbs instance provided to the notify(…) method.

What AgentX++, AGENT++, and SNMP++ version are you using?

Thanks for the reply. I’ll check to ensure no other thread is modifying the Vbs instance.
Our versions are : agent+±4.1.0, agentx+±2.1.0, snmp+±3.3.10
