Hello, I am trying to load a nodelet multiple times. But the node is getting crashed once the second instance of the node let started executing.

Below snippet describes the way I am loading the nodelet.

std::string name = ros::this_node::getName() + "instance1";
my_argv.push_back("instance1");
my_argv.push_back("0");
my_argv.push_back("10");
manager.load(name, "myNodelet/exNodelet", remappings, my_argv);


my_argv.clear();
my_argv.push_back("instance2");
my_argv.push_back("0");
my_argv.push_back("10");
name = ros::this_node::getName() + "instance2";
manager.load(disparity_name, "myNodelet/exNodelet", remappings, my_argv);


my_argv.clear();
my_argv.push_back("instance3);
my_argv.push_back("11");
my_argv.push_back("10");
name = ros::this_node::getName() + "instance3";
manager.load(name, "myNodelet/exNodelet", remappings, my_argv);

Can anyone give any clue on why the second instance(not instance2. If I launch instance2 first then it will run perfect. The instance, launched 2nd getting crashed.) getting crashed.

Note: I am using OpenCV library in my nodelet.

Edit: I have debugged the problem further. I have noticed, when I commented OpenCV call the nodelet is launched perfectly in the second instance.

Please have a look at the gdb trace below

Do you absolutely need to use the manager directly (ie: as a local C++ object)? Any reason you can't use the regular nodelet manager node and the service interface provided by it?

The manager used here is a regular nodelet manager. I have found from the debug information and the trails I have made by commenting OpenCV call, the issue is with the Opencv call not with the ROS.

I was able to solve the issue. I have declared the OpenCV class object as a global variable. This was causing the problem. Now I made that as a nodelet subclass variable.
