Hi i have a Problem with this Library: LTSupportAutomotive
I´m a swift programmer so not really good in objective c.
how to fix this race condition?
I hope someone can help me.
'*** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: index 1 beyond bounds for empty array'
-(void)asyncEnqueueInternalCommand:(LTOBD2AdapterInternalCommand*)internalCommand
{
@synchronized(self) {
[_commandQueue addObject:internalCommand];
}
}
Source code:
UPDATE 1:
Created a branch with the first fixes: https://github.com/Skyb0rg/LTSupportAutomotive/tree/BugfixMemoryManagement
After adding additional commandQueue i got new errors:
in LTBTLEWriteCharacteristicStream.m
-(void)characteristicDidWriteValue
{
[self.delegate stream:self handleEvent:NSStreamEventHasSpaceAvailable];
}
this function is crashing with: Selector name found in current argument registers: delegate

First, the code you show is not the one to be found in github. Do you synchronize all usages of _commandQueue
, or only this one? If only this one, why aren't the others synchronized?
Then, in github I find multiple usages of _commandQueue
, some of them in methods that are named async
..., but also some not async
, like cancelPendingCommands
or responseCompleted
. You need to find out what is the intention of async
in a method name, and why methods like cancelPendingCommands
is not somehow async
.
So the main idea seems to protect all _commandQueue
accesses inside the serial _dispatchQueue
. This is already the case in the async
... methods: They are called from within that queue:
dispatch_async( _dispatchQueue, ^{
[self asyncEnqueueInternalCommand:internalCommand];
});
So you need to ensure that every access to _commandQueue
is enqueued in this queue, e.g. change cancelPendingCommands
to something like
-(void)cancelPendingCommands
{
dispatch_async( _dispatchQueue, ^{
// This cancels all but the first command in order to prevent sending a new command while
// the response to an active command is still pending. OBD2 adapters usually can't cope with
// that and emit a 'STOPPED' response in that case.
if ( _hasPendingAnswer )
{
NSRange allButTheFirst = NSMakeRange( 1, _commandQueue.count - 1 );
[_commandQueue removeObjectsInRange:allButTheFirst];
}
else
{
[_commandQueue removeAllObjects];
}
});
}
(or create a dedicated asyncCancelPendingCommands
function, that will be called from cancelPendingCommands
from inside a dispatch block. And so on.
P.S. If you need synchronous execution, you could also use dispatch_sync
instead of dispatch_async
, but then you have to ensure that you do not create deadlocks.
