BitBangDevice segfault with pylibftdi 0.16.1.2
Issue #27
closed
Hello. I'm using a 'Sparkfun Breakout Board for FT232RL USB to Serial', trying BitBang for the first time. I'm using Ubuntu 17.04 x64.
I installed pylibftdi with pip3 and when trying examples I always get a segmentation fault when initializing the device.
Seen issue #25 and using 'auto_detach=False' as a workaround works.
Also tried installing 'libftdi1-dev' but didn't work.
pylibftdi version : 0.16.1.2 libftdi version : libftdi_version(major=1, minor=3, micro=0, version_str=b'1.3', snapshot_str=b'unknown') libftdi library name : libftdi1.so.2 libusb version : libusb_version(major=1, minor=0, micro=21, nano=11156, rc=b'', describe=b'http://libusb.info') libusb library name : libusb-1.0.so.0 Python version : 3.5.3 OS platform : Linux-4.10.0-35-lowlatency-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-17.04-zesty
dmesg when connecting FTDI:
New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001 New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Product: FT232R USB UART Manufacturer: FTDI SerialNumber: A105BPBO usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio usbserial: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device ftdi_sio 1-6.2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected Detected FT232RL FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB3
I'm running python3 with sudo, didn't create udev rule yet.

Some initial debugging shows that there is some 32/64 bit issue with the pointer.
The libusb device handle is 0x5555558c9790 but libusb_set_auto_detach_kernel_driver (dev_handle=0x558c9790, .... hints that the pointer is cast to a 32-bit pointer instead of using the full 64-bit pointer.
See below output from gdb.

See PR #1 that fixes this issue.

Thanks for this - really appreciate your time debugging it as I was thinking of taking out the auto detach altogether.
I'll get this merged and push a new release to PyPI over the next few days.

I'm seeing similar issue on Fedora 27 with pylibftdi installed with pip3. auto_detach=False is a workaround.
