LoadProhibited on core 0 when concatenating with sprintf

[ESPtronic]

Hello, I need to send as a GET parameter ESP32 IP address to my web server. The problem is that, when I want to concatenate the strings with the URL, the IP and the rest of the request, it gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

Guru Meditation Error of type LoadProhibited occurred on core  0. Exception was unhandled.

My code is the following:
At the beginning:

Code: Select all

char* ip;

In the event handler (copied from your example):

Code: Select all

case SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_GOT_IP:
        xEventGroupSetBits(wifi_event_group, CONNECTED_BIT);
        ip = inet_ntoa(event->event_info.got_ip.ip_info.ip);
        break;

In the http_get_task (also copied):

Code: Select all

char WEB_URL1[128];
sprintf(WEB_URL1, "http://192.168.0.1/grbinventions/grbalarm/regip.php?ip=%s", ip);
char REQUEST[512];
sprintf(REQUEST, "GET %s HTTP/1.1\r\n%s", WEB_URL1, REQUEST_TEXT);

Not entirely sure what's going wrong, but inet_ntoa returns a pointer to some (internally-allocated or static) variable; this is either incompatible with multithreading or the pointer is only valid in the thread you use inet_ntoa in. Suggest creating your own buffer space and using inet_ntop instead.

I finally figured out the problem. It was that the http_get_task executed before getting an IP. So sprintf had nothing to put on the string, as I didn't put any default value. For solving the problem, I just moved the sprintf into the while loop. Now there is no error, but there's still a problem: outside of the event handler the ip is an empty string.

Code: Select all

I (2215) event: ip: 192.168.1.7, mask: 255.255.0.0, gw: 192.168.1.1
I (2215) tag: IP:

--- EDIT ---
I solved the problem. The problem was inet_ntop (which I tried for solving the problem). I don't understand why, maybe I didn't do it well. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

char ipbuf[INET_ADDRSTRLEN];
ip = inet_ntop(AF_INET, &event->event_info.got_ip.ip_info.ip, ipbuf, INET_ADDRSTRLEN);

I replaced it with inet_ntoa, but if inet_ntop is better, I would like to know what's wrong.
