ROS Kinetic (and Melodic) generating a Native Crash with Mono when wrapping C# in C++
Hello,
I hope the problem that I am experiencing is pertinent to this forum and that you can help me figure out a solution. What basically happens is that I am using C# wrapped in C++ code with ROS kinetic (and I tried the same code with ROS melodic). What happens is that I get a Native Crash Report when I try to run my code. The problem is that this error doesn't occur consistently and there is not a clear explanation in the crashing report of what caused this crash. Well, at least for me it is hard to figure out what is going on. Have you ever heard of this problem with ROS? I posted the same problem in github under Mono 2 months ago, but no response. I also tried to browse internet for days, but no luck. It appears other people are experiencing this type of crash (not necessarily with ROS), but I could not find any good or clear solution. One way that I have to temporarily fix the problem is open the file listener_sp.cpp (which is where C# is wrapped into C++) and then close it after saving it. Not sure why, but that doesn't the trick. Well, at least temporarily. I have tried to attach the code here, but I have got a message saying that I need ">5 points required to upload files". Apologies, but I am not sure what that means, so I am pasting the code of the file listener_sp, which is what is causing problems. As I said, sometimes it crashes, other times it works. The C# library that I am using is: SP_CD_Cpp.dll. I wrote the code of this C# library and when I tested without ROS it was working fine. It never crashed.
