[ros-users] debugging nodelets

[Tully Foote]

Hi Agusto,

Based on your backtrace it looks like you have a bug in the parseLaserData
method.
"""/home/usad1/workspace/usad/cart/cart/lib/libusad_nodelet.so(_ZN12usad_nodelet22nodelet_LaserPublisher14parseLaserDataERKSs+0xdbc)[0x46e1ec]"""

Nodelets are dynamically loaded into the manager and if a nodelet crashes it
will take down the manager.  A way to isolate any individual nodelet to make
debugging easier is to run it in standalone mode.  You loose the
intraprocess communication, but decrease the number of threads to debug.
