This is likely due to the order of deletion in the main() program of "Gammaknife". The RunManager must be the final object to be deleted. Thank you for looking into this. I might have some additional information regarding your comment: I am not sure about the case in the gammaknife example, however, in my application (where the same error is raised) the RunManager is the last object to be deleted in my main(). So maybe this is not yet the solution. I tried to reproduce the problem (added a 3rd GPS source) and run 1 history, and the sim runs without any problem. I then increased the number of events and I did not find any problem. I ran the example with Geant4 10.7 on x86_64-redhat-linux, gcc version 8.3.1. Susanna Dear Susanna, did you run the simulation multiple times with one primary? Unfortunately the bug is not 100% reproducible. With my setup the bug is triggered approx. 50% of all runs with one primary. Another idea: I ran the simulation with a 6/12core machine with Debian Linux, I will also try to reproduce the bug on another machine with a different CPU setup, maybe this has something to do with number of cores as well... Thanks, Steffen Dear Steffen I ran 3 GPS sources, with /run/beamOn 1 : repeated one, two, three, four times. I used the default macro with no visualisation. As recommended by Gabriele, I am now using valgrind in DRD mode to see if I get any error. Cheers Susanna Just as additional info the build-options for my Geant installation: -DGEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED=OFF -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA_TIMEOUT=6000 -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON -DGEANT4_USE_RAYTRACER_X11=ON" Since the error indicates a relation to threads, the MT option might be important. And I can confirm that the error is also raised -for me- without visualisation. Thanks, Steffen Dear Steffen I compiled Geant4 with MT ON. I will try again the test with MT off. I will let you know how it goes. cheers Suasnna |
Disclaimer: I am using the gammaknife example only as it uses the General Particle Source. I encountered the problem the first time in my own application, which also uses the General Particle Source. So the problem is not related with the example, but rather with Geant4-Toolkit. Problem: When using more than 2 sources in GPS and running only one primary in a run, the application sometimes throws an exception at the very end of execution. Steps to reproduce (tested with 4-10-07-patch-02 AND 4-11.00-beta-01): 1: Compile /examples/advanced/gammaknife 2: Edit defaultMacro.mac "/run/beamOn 100" to "/run/beamOn 1" (problem only occurs when simulating few primaries per run). 3: Edit GPS.in so that there are in total 3 sources added. Simply copy the last source definition (lines 18-30) and append it to the end of the file. (Problem does not occur when only 2 sources are added!) 4: run ./gammaknife defaultMacro.mac several times. Output in case problem occurs: ... ... ### Run 0 starts. Run 0 starts ... Run terminated.
