Can't stop the top_block which contain transmit_path with GNU Radio version 11001

sorry for attaching this again.
I use UBUNTU 9.04 + gnuradio 11001 and UBUNTU 8.10 +gnuradio 10853 got
the
same problem.

I modify the gnuradio-examples/python/digital codes for some
experiences. In
one case I want to stop the running flow graph(top block), and then to
start
a new connect. I do it well in stop the receive_path connect. But I just
can’t stop the top block contain a transmit_path. If I stop the top
block,
and wait, it hang in the tb.wait.
I seem not express well. To make it simple let’s see:
class my_topblock(gr.top_block)
def init(self):
self.trans=transmit_path(…)
self.connect(self.trans)

tb.start()
tb.stop()
tb.wait() # IT HANG IN HERE

tb.start()

I made a simple test code to test stopping the top block , please test
it to
see what’s the problem.

ps.Eric,
would you please tell me what cause tb.wait() hanging, where is this bug
from?
I have install the newest version of GNU Radio, but the problem is still
the
same.

Some block is most likely blocked in a system call. I’m guessing that
the transmit path is hung in gr.message_source waiting for a message
that’s never coming. To get it to stop, send it a message with
type=1. The message source will indicate that it is done and the flow
graph will terminate.

I set transmit path message with type = 1, but it still not work, it
hang in
wait() either.

Will the USRP block the system?

No.

You can find out where it’s hung by running gdb.

Eric

sorry, I’m not familiar with gdb, I can’t get many useful infomation
from
that.
The topblock start 6 threads (exept the mainloop) . After tb.stop(),
five
threads has exited, but leaving one.
Here is the gdb infomation after tb.stop()

actually, the code is hanging in the gr_message. To stop the message,
not to
set in the pkt.py, but to set send_pkt(eof=True) to stop the message
thread.
It now work good.
Thank Eric!

sorry for before attachments. maybe those infomations are nonsensed. I
dig
gdb and do some homework, find out that the backtrace should be these:
I did set message type=1 but there is still a thread in message. How can
I
get rid of these threads that can’t quit?
