Segmentation fault (core dumped) about osqp-eigen

[S-Dafarra]

Indeed, the reason is exactly this one:

/home/ugv/software/osqp-eigen-master/src/Solver.cpp:19:18: error: ‘make_unique’ is not a member of ‘std’

The make_unique has been implemented in gcc starting from version 4.9.0: https://isocpp.org/blog/2014/04/gcc-4.9.0. I am afraid your compiler is not supported.

By commenting out the lines https://github.com/robotology/osqp-eigen/blob/master/src/Solver.cpp#L23-L24 you are not allocating the Settings and Data object, causing the segfault.

Thanks for your help. After I update the gcc and g++ version to be 4.9.4. Now it woks. I appreciate your kind help.

Hi @NUDTUGVexplorer,
can you give us some more information about your system? For example:

• OS you are currently using
• osqp-eigen version
• osqp version
• Did you change some of the default cmake configurations?

[NUDTUGVexplorer]

1.OS: ubuntu 14.04 LTS gcc version 4.8.4
2.osqp-eigen: I just git from your repo on March 1st, 2020.
3.osqp: OSQP v0.5.0 - Operator Splitting QP Solver
4. I didn't change the cmake configurations.
But when I compile osqp-eigen, there is an issue as follows:
/osqp-eigen-master/build$ make

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/OsqpEigen.dir/src/Solver.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/OsqpEigen.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

In order to fix the issue, I found some advise from the others.
So I change the code in Solver.cpp,
//m_settings = std::unique_ptrOsqpEigen::Settings();
//m_data = std::unique_ptrOsqpEigen::Data();

m_settings = std::make_unique<OsqpEigen::Settings>();
m_data = std::make_unique<OsqpEigen::Data>();

Then it could be successfully compiled now.

@S-Dafarra I am facing the same issue Segmentation fault (core dumped). I am using Ubuntu 18 with g++ and gcc version 7.5.0 . I am compiled osqp from source as described here.

The following lines execute with no errors:

//solver.settings()->setVerbosity(false);
   qpSolver_.settings()->setWarmStart(true);
   // set the initial data of the QP solver
   qpSolver_.data()->setNumberOfVariables((num_of_states_+num_of_inputs_)*mpcWindow);
   qpSolver_.data()->setNumberOfConstraints((2*num_of_states_+num_of_inputs_)*mpcWindow);
   Eigen::SparseMatrix<double> hessian = hessian_.sparseView();
   Eigen::SparseMatrix<double> Ac = Ac_.sparseView();
   if(!qpSolver_.data()->setHessianMatrix(hessian)) return false;
   if(!qpSolver_.data()->setGradient(gradient_)) return false;
   if(!qpSolver_.data()->setLinearConstraintsMatrix(Ac)) return false;
   if(!qpSolver_.data()->setLowerBound(lowerBounds_)) return false;
   if(!qpSolver_.data()->setUpperBound(upperBounds_)) return false;

However, I get the segmentation fault error when the following is executed

qpSolver_.updateBounds(lowerBounds_, upperBounds_);

I made sure that dimensions of the matrices are correct.

What could be the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Can the OsqpEigen::Solver obj; be a class member? It seems to ave an issue when I use it inside a class as a class member.

[mzahana]

Problem is solved. It was a silly mistake that I didn't initSolver() !
