Basic Tranformer Error Message

Post by Marley777 »

Hello, has anyone ever seen the following error? We are getting this error in our basic transformer stage.


'Received signal SIGBUS'

Thanks for your help!

SIGBUS is a UNIX signal. It means that there has been a "bus error". The "bus" referred to here is usually the communication channel between the CPU and memory or other hardware components.
Thus, you are being told in UNIX's beautifully succinct way that your application has done something that has caused, or detected, an error.
The man page for siginfo will tell you that there are three major reasons for raising this signal:
  • invalid address alignment
    non-existent physical address
    object-specific hardware error

Rstone,

Did you resolve this issue? If so, what was the resolution?

Your descriptions of the Basic Transform in PX make it seem like the Basic Transform is buggy.. Care to comment?

Hi RStone,

If you replace the Basic Transformer by a PX Transformer then your 'SIGBUS'/'SIGINT'/Mutex error may not come into the picture. I have also faced the similer problem.
