Hi all, I’m not sure if this is the right list to use but thought I’d mention it here. I tried to contact David Anderson via email but have not heard back.
I was wondering if anyone has random seg fault issues with their android apps for their BOINC projects. Our Rosetta@home android application had pretty bad success rates and I found that the main cause was the use of “setitimer” in the “start_worker_signals” function in the boinc_api.cpp code. Our Rosetta app runs stable without the BOINC api, but when using the default api, it crashed randomly. I developed a workaround which avoids “setitimer" in the api code and our app is stable with the modified BOINC api and is now in production for our Rosetta@home project. Our success rates for android arm have gone from 40-60% to 95%. I’m wondering if this is just a Rosetta application induced bug (it’s a pretty substantial scientific app) or a general android issue.
