IDL 8.2 IDL_IDLBridge & abortion [message #88793]

Hello folks,

I'm programming with IDL 8.2 and I have an issue with IDL_IDLBridge.
I use some IDL bridges to compute on large pictures.
In the code used by those bridges, the program executes a large loop. At some point in this loop, all the children stop with the abort command (status = 4). There aren't any type problem, I tested the function in the main IDL process but it doesn't create any problem.

Does anyone have an idea what's happening in the children processes?

Cheers,

Mathieu

Have you turned on logging (using Obj_New("IDL_IDLBridge", output=logfilename)?

The child process might print an error message there. And you can write debugging output, as well.

Hello Rigby,

thanks for your help, the log wasn't helpful at all...
In fact, if you create IDL_IDLBridge object in a function/procedure, executes some computations in asynchronous mode ( /NOWAIT) and ends the function, the garbage collector will destroy the IDL_IDLBridges; which will cause the abortion of the computations in the newly created processes.

Cheers,

Mathieu

Hi all,

I solved this issue.
As soon as the main IDL process leaves the function/procedure where the bridges were created, they are destroyed, which causes an abortion in the bridges. One of the possible solutions is to save the IDL_IDLBridge objects in a system variable before the main IDL process leaves the function.
