Hi all,
I'm not sure whether any of you notice the bug in Tossim under Tinyos 2.0.2.
When you increase the numbers of nodes in simulation (say from 200 to 500),
something strange happens in nodes' neighbor table. I digged a bit and found
it might due to inappropriate data type casting. The bug is in:
/opt/tinyos-2.x/lib/net/le/LinkEstimatorP.nc, line 657. "uint8_t i,
my_ll_addr;"
It should be "am_addr_t my_ll_addr". Casting am_addr_t (16 bits now) to
uint8_t just messes up everything, because this is called when a node
receives LEEP beacons and wants to update its outquality.
Actually I was working on Tinyos1.1.15 before release of 2.0.2.
Tinyos1.1.15also has similar bugs in Multihop Routing. The bug is in:
/opt/tinyos-1.x/tos/lib/Route/MultiHopLEPSM.nc, line 131. "uint8_t
findEntry(uint8_t id) {"
The "id" should be "uint16_t". When node ids go beyond 255, something
strange should happen also, because findEntry() is called to locate node
entry in neighbor table.
I like the use of am_addr_t in 2.0, which can reduce quite a lot chances to
misuse node ids. We should consist on this rather than a mix. :)
Regards,
Shuai
