Re: [mpls-linux-general] LDP_ZEBRA problems

[Yon U. <uk...@rz...>]

Hello,

 I shall comment inline to your post. If the problems went away with
0.993, consider this just a coffeine induced halucination.

 On a general note: I did the original code, but haven't touched it since
it got included in the CVS repository. It was buggy (100% alpha). I'm
getting a computer (if dell can wipe its virtual ass and hurry up getting
my money), so I shall be coding some more in the summer.

Please, when getting a core dump, start the program in gdb, as in:
"gdb ./ldp_zebra"

on the  prompt type run, followed by the parameters:
"run -P 2610"

and when it bombs, just type
"bt"
for backtrace, which prints a trace all the way back up the stack.

I can't tell. Sounds like some commands where registered twice to the
zebra cli handler. I did some preprocessor macros for registering both the
tag and mpls commands, could be this. (I only had some '99 vintage
paper docs on cisco cli when I started, they where about tags, not labels,
I think tag commands should be removed now)

 Yep, right. IIRC the save config function and the defined config
functions where neither a subset of each other, TBD.

Please note the date, this was my working copy. Sort of a monster.

 Wanna pay me for coding this? <eg> No, but seriously, if I manage to
rewire my neurons for Jim's preferred C formatting style, some work will
be done on this in the next 3 months.


HTH, HAND
