Stumped. Stack smashing protect failure

[themagicm]

I am totally stumped as to how to track this down.

The only time it happens is when I save a value every 30 seconds using preferences.h.

Code: Select all

void dothis(double value)
{
 
 
    // Save the odometer value using Preferences
    preferences.begin("gps", false);                  // Open preferences in read-write mode
    preferences.putDouble("distance", value); // Store odometer value
    preferences.end();                                // Close preferences
 
  }

I basically read data from my CAN network and every 30 seconds call dothis. After a while I get stack smashing but I am totally stumped since it doesnt really say much.


this is the error in PlatformIO:

Code: Select all

abort() was called at PC 0x4012202b on core 1
Backtrace: 0x40083dc1:0x3ffbf59c |<-CORRUPTED

Then I run this to get some info on it:

Code: Select all

./xtensa-esp32-elf/esp-12.2.0_20230208/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-addr2line -pfiaC -e firmware.elf 0x40083e1d 0x3ffbf56c

and then I get this which doesnt mean anything to me:

Code: Select all

0x40083e1d: panic_abort at /Users/ficeto/Desktop/ESP32/ESP32S2/esp-idf-public/components/esp_system/panic.c:408
0x3ffbf56c: port_IntStack at ??:?

I am totally stumped. This is a simplified version of what I'm doing. But if I dont save using preferences.h (I even tried littlefs which crashes also) then it doesnt give me any stack smashing.

Stack smashing means you are running out of stack memory. The corruption error looks more like you are trying to access a variable that has been allocated out of bounds.
Check to make sure you are not allocating huge variables into your stack by using large char arrays. Passing around objects/Strings can also use up all your stack. Pass constants into your function variables.
