[ROS2-Crystal] rclcpp::executors Interrupt guard condition

Hi,

After upgrading to ROS2 crystal clemmys, I am receiving a error message:

Failed to create interrupt guard condition in Executor constructor

The same code was used in ROS bouncy but for some reason I am receiving the above mentioned error on Crystal.

The source of the issue is caused when assigning the executor rclcpp::executors::SingleThreadedExecutor executor;.

I am currently trying to pass arguments on assignment to avoid this error message. Was there any changes to how the executors should be called on crystal?


Update:

I tried to reproduce the error message using a simple example using a pure ROS package. I received a different error message this time but, I believe it something to do with the original issue I am facing.

#include <iostream>
#include "rclcpp/executor.hpp"
#include "std_msgs/msg/string.hpp"
#include "rclcpp/rclcpp.hpp"


    std::shared_ptr<rclcpp::Node> master_node;


        void static topic_callback(std_msgs::msg::String::SharedPtr msg)
      {
        std::cout  <<" Subscriber Received [" << msg->data << "]" << std::endl;
      }


    int main(){
    rclcpp::init(0, nullptr);

    rclcpp::executors::MultiThreadedExecutor executor;
    master_node = rclcpp::Node::make_shared("MasterNode");
    auto subscription_ = master_node->create_subscription<std_msgs::msg::String>("TopicName",topic_callback);

    executor.add_node(master_node);


    executor.spin_node_some(master_node);

    }

Just to give a little background on what I am trying to do. Script A is the main code. I will initialize ROS and create a node in script B.

The std::shared_ptr<rclcpp::Node> master_node; is being saved in a Header file of script B which will be used as a global variable.

Other scrips will use this pointer to create their publishers and subscribers. For example script C will create a publisher publisher_ = master_node->create_publisher<std_msgs::msg::String>("topic"); and script D will subscribe to said publisher or other publishers subscription_ = master_node->create_subscription<std_msgs::msg::String>("TopicName",topic_callback); .

The reason I want to use (Single/Multi)ThreadingExecutor is due to main code's thread being used in other matters.


Update2:

I believe the following is a better representation of my current code.

using rclcpp::executors::MultiThreadedExecutor;



std::shared_ptr<rclcpp::Node> master_node;


    void topic_callback(std_msgs::msg::String::SharedPtr msg)
  {
    std::cout  <<" Subscriber Received [" << msg->data << "]" << std::endl;
  }


int main(){
rclcpp::init(0, nullptr);

MultiThreadedExecutor executor;
master_node = rclcpp::Node::make_shared("MasterNode");
auto subscription_ = master_node->create_subscription<std_msgs::msg::String>("TopicName",topic_callback);

executor.add_node(master_node);
std::thread executor_thread(std::bind(&MultiThreadedExecutor::spin, &executor));
executor_thread.detach();
while(true){
std::cout << "hey" << std::endl;
usleep(3000000);
}
}

To be clear, does the snippet above run and then crash?

The update1 code will crash. The update2 code ran without issue. Because I did not see the same error message when using the Update2's code, I began to suspect that some other issue was occurring. It seems that the Interrupt guard condition also occurs if init is not called.

This can happen if the executor is created after rclcpp::shutdown is called or SIGINT is received, either due to ctrl-c or something else signaling.

I initialized ROS using rclcpp::init(0, nullptr); I have created a couple of publishers with no issue. If my understanding is correct this would mean that the shutdown has not been called.

This issue only effects the subscribers. Is there something I am not setting correctly?

Can you link a minimal example? Maybe I can spot something that way, but nothing off the top of my head.

Sure, Ill add the information as an edit to my original question. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer my question.

Hi,

It seems that the script C constructor was being initialized before script B. The error message seen was due to the ROS node not being initialized. This is why the example I provided in my Update2: worked but it didn't on the main script.

Hello! Did you solve this issue?

petal gravatar image petal  ( 2019-07-20 12:59:49 -0500 )edit

Yes, it is just an issue of initializing the ROS node before creating a PUB/SUB. If you Like you can create your own ticket so I can see the code and help you out.

I had this happen with a gtest in ROS2 Rolling. (Which is very similar to ROS2 Galactic at this point.)

It was fixed by adding the rclcpp::init(argc, argv); here:

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  rclcpp::init(argc, argv);
  ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
  return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}
