[IGSTK-Users] Error in Release mode, not in Debug mode

[Tamas Ungi]

Hi Patrick,

This line hangs:
(inputItr->second)->SetCalibratedTransform( toolCalibratedTransform );
in function: void Tracker::UpdateStatusSuccessProcessing( void )
in file: igstkTracker.cxx
It is around line 822; 

So I went into the SetCalibratedTransform( ... ) function, and found that
the call:
this->InvokeEvent( transformEvent );
in file: igstTrackerTool.cxx
around line: 502;
Doesn't return. The program hangs there (or goes somewhere in VTK?).

How should I proceed debugging?
Thanks,
Tamas

Hi Tamas,

I tried to reproduce the error with Windows 7 + Visual Studio 2008.

I used the attached testing program, a pulse generator with a simple
callback to print out pulse count. It works under both Release and Debug. So
PulseGenerator is not the problem.

My guess is there might be some problem with the pulse generator callback
functions in AscensionTracker code.

There are three place to check:

1. igstkTracker.cxx line 736
void Tracker::AttemptToUpdateStatusProcessing( void )

2. igstkTracker.cxx line 775
void Tracker::UpdateStatusSuccessProcessing( void )

3. igstkAscension3DGTracker line 300
Ascension3DGTracker::ResultType Ascension3DGTracker::InternalUpdateStatus()

Can you debug your code and check to see if whether the callback function
get stuck in one of these places?

Thank you,

Patrick
