Hi everybody. I hope you are enjoying a wonderful and happy Christmas.
Yesterday something weird happened with my cog vm. This assert was failing:
"newUtcMicrosecondClock >= utcMicrosecondClock 127"
a lot of times...
I checked and this is line 127 of sqUnixHeartbeat.c. I am in a MacOS vm, but it seems that file is used anyway.
Now...I have no idea why this assert was failing, nor its severity. What does it mean? there is something wrong? where can I take a look?
if microseconds clock counter is 32-bit, then it wraps over time to time. VM should be aware that this may happen and should take appropriate measures (like adjusting the wait timeouts etc).
It seems it is not easy to reproduce :(
yeah, you should wait another ~ 2^32 / 1000000 seconds
Thanks in advance,
Mariano
