@henrygerardmoore @rhaschke I have been investigating this issue where calling
plan()
on the same task more than once can lead to a segfault. The is some internal state the task that is modified during planning, which causes subsequent planning to fail. For example, thestates_
field ofStagePrivate
contained some values from the last run on the subsequent run. My solution is to call thereset()
method on the MTC Task object before callinginit()
and planning. This fixed the segfault we were seeing and also generated valid plans.Let me know if this is a suitable solution or if there is another recommended way to avoid stale task objects causing failures.
