Re: [ros-users] SegFault in TransformBroadcaster

Hi all,

Problem solved. I've called add_library instead of rosbuild_add_library
for the class where the error h
happened. This lead to the compiler flag -DBT_USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION being
missing in that part of the code, which resulted in my code and all
inline functions assuming float data and the externally linked code
assuming double data. The std::strings that caused the segfault were
thus overwritten by the oversized double data.

Seems a bit dangerous to have this flag set via the manifest.xml export
and not checking it somehow, as everything will compile without warning
and then produce seemingly random errors.

Cheers,
David
