The old code assumed that the thread that created a request buffer for a given signal-emitting thread would be the latter thread, and thus a thread-local pointer to the request buffer could be used. This turns out not to be true: the GUI thread tends to be responsible for constructing the request buffers for pre-registered threads. That mechanism has been replaced by using a RWLock protected map using pthread_t as the key and the request buffer as the value. This allows any thread to create and register the request buffers used between any other pair of threads (because the lookup always uses a pthread_t). The symptoms of this problem were a signal emitted in an audioengine thread that was propagated to the target thread, but when the target thread scans its request buffers for requests, it finds nothing (because it didn't know about the request buffer). In a sense, the signal was successfully delivered to the target thread, but no meaningful work (i.e the signal handler) is performed. |

Ardour Session Utilities ======================== This folder contains some tools which directly use libardour to access ardour sessions. The overall goal it to provide some non-interactive unix-style commandline tools, which are installed along with DAW. These tools depend on the "dummy" backend to be available, configure ardour with e.g. ./waf configure --with-backends=jack,alsa,dummy ... Adding new tools ---------------- One C++ source per tool, see "example.cc" and "export.cc" cp session_utils/example.cc session_utils/your_new_tool_name.cc edit session_utils/new_tool_name.cc ./waf The tool is automatically compiled and deployed when installing, using the program-name as prefix. e.g. "export.cc" becomes "ardour4-export" (or "mixbus3-export", depending on the project configuration). Tool names must start with lower-case alphabetic letter [a-z]. Test run from the source ------------------------ cd session_utils ./run ardour6-your_new_tool_name or ./run ardour6-export --help and to debug the tool under gdb/lldb: ./debug ardour6-export
