Abort on BLEAddress tostring

Postby dwaynez » Thu Dec 15, 2022 7:00 pm

I am scanning for BLE devices. When I check to see if it is a device that I am looking for, I print a message to the serial log. Every now and then, the ESP32 reboots because of an abort. The backtrace shows the problem is with the tostring function on BLEAddress. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

#include <BLEDevice.h>
#define allowed_devices  "ff:ff:20:00:26:53,ff:ff:80:02:13:f9,e9:99:8d:f2:65:ce,f9:54:a9:22:48:0d"      


class MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks: public BLEAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks {
    void onResult(BLEAdvertisedDevice advertisedDevice) {
            if (strstr(allowed_devices,advertisedDevice.getAddress().toString().c_str()) != NULL) {
                ble_found = true;
                if (!ble_connected) {
                    ble_device = String(advertisedDevice.getName().c_str());
                        char strBuf[100];
                        sprintf(strBuf, "Device authorized %s(%s) %i", advertisedDevice.getName().c_str(),advertisedDevice.getAddress().toString().c_str(),rssi);
                        PRINTLN(strBuf);
                    ble_connected = true;
                }
    } // onResult
}; // MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks

// When scanning complete, start all over again looking for a device
void ScanCompleteCB(BLEScanResults scanResults) {
    if (!ble_found and ble_connected) {
        ble_connected = false;
        }
    start_scan = true;
} // scanCompleteCB

void setup() {
    pBLEScan = BLEDevice::getScan();
    pBLEScan->setAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks(new MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks());
    pBLEScan->setActiveScan(true);
 }

// Main processing loop
void loop() {
    if (start_scan) {
        ble_found = false;
        pBLEScan->start(5, ScanCompleteCB, false);
        // PRINTLN("Starting BLE scan");
        // wifi_send(t_state,"Starting BLE scan");
        start_scan = false;
Here is my decode of the trace:

Re: Abort on BLEAddress tostring

Postby dwaynez » Fri Dec 16, 2022 9:02 pm

I thought the problem might be related to my usage of strings, so I took the away the string usage. The nature of the abort changed, but it is still aborting, I added a display of the heap size in the loop every 10 minutes, but I am not running out of heap (never gets below 62,000 before aborting. I am assuming that either I am getting a malformed scan record or running out of a critical resource. And ides?

New code:

Code: Select all

class MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks: public BLEAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks {
    void onResult(BLEAdvertisedDevice advertisedDevice) {
        int rssi = advertisedDevice.getRSSI();
        if (advertisedDevice.haveName() and rssi > RSSI_CUTOFF) {
            char macaddr[17];
            strcpy(macaddr,advertisedDevice.getAddress().toString().c_str());
            if (strstr(allowed_devices,macaddr) != NULL) {
                ble_found = true;
                if (!ble_connected) {
                    ble_connected = true;
                }
            } else if (advertisedDevice.haveManufacturerData()) {
                char manufacturerdata[32];
                strcpy(manufacturerdata,BLEUtils::buildHexData(NULL, (uint8_t*)advertisedDevice.getManufacturerData().data(), advertisedDevice.getManufacturerData().length()));
                if  (strstr(allowed_devices2,manufacturerdata) != NULL) {
                    ble_found = true;
                    if (!ble_connected) {
                        ble_connected = true;
                    }
            }
        } 
    } // onResult
}; // MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks

Hi dwaynez,

got the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Thanks, Hajo

Showing the original error in addition to the stack trace would be useful. Your allocation there is from stack, not heap, so if you are getting a stack canary error, you are running out of stack memory. Check if macaddr is NULL before you copy into it.
