Executed Actions

Marcus,

 

Below is the segment of code I'll be refering to:

 

   if( (sizeEvent.eventId != NULL)  )
   {
      if( [myModel getSystemTime] >= 1263 )
      {
         printf("mussel is %d\n",flag);
         xprint(sizeEvent.eventId);
         fflush(stdout);
      }
      nullEvent=[eventSchedule remove: sizeEvent.eventId];
      [nullEvent drop];
   }

 

The printf and xprint is

 

mussel is 92193
[0x5109538: Mussel atMaxSize1]

 

Immediatly after this I try to remove the event from the schedule and get a core dump for trying to remove a non-event from my event schedule.

 

It seems to me there are at least 2 possibilities for this.

 

1.)  The first is that I have a dangling pointer left over from an executed event and the memory hasn't been reallocated so the ID still references an event so xprint still sees it as such.

 

2.)  Another possibility is that it is a valid event and something else has corrupted memory (maybe the memory used by the event schedule?).

 

or...?

 

The agent number of 92193 says that over 90,000 agents were created and destroyed since the simulation started so this is probably a special case error.  

 

My question for you is "is senerio #1 possible"?  Could xprint report the correct message (atMaxSize1) even though the event had already been executed?  (I have never used xprint prior to chacing the memory in 2.01 and now with your suggestion yesterday so I don't have a good understanding on how it works.)

 

Cheers,
