Why am I getting this after pressing "Ctrl+C"?

I have seen this being discussed (and fixed) for nodelets, but for me it happens also for regular nodes. Quick Fix: Ctrl+Z to send process to background, Then "kill %1" to kill the background process.

Even quicker fix: CTRLl-\ to directly send a sigkill.

Perhaps you don't check for ros::ok()? If you don't, then Ctrl-C won't kill your node.

I have the problem too. I'm using the multithreaded spinner (but I think I also had it with other spinners), so I'm just calling spin(), which should to the ros::ok check, shouldn't it?

Felix Endres ( 2011-06-20 23:45:20 -0500 )edit

Yes, spin() does the ros::ok() check.

Maybe you have a while (ros::ok()) loop and some ROS_INFO... like printouts after that? (so ROS_INFO... is called, when ros::ok() is false).

With that advice in mind, is this wrong? [code] while (ros::ok()) { // do whatever } ROS_WARN("No longer looping!");

Also, How the hell can someone post codes inside comments???

ubuntuslave ( 2011-07-16 05:07:26 -0500 )edit

I would say: That shouldn't work (but it's easy to test). ROS_WARN would try to contact rosout, but at that time ros::ok() is false.
