“Segmentation fault” when i call setPolicy() with out-of-band mode without initial Lib and Device

The gdb trace info as follow:

(gdb) n
299 ret = nmprk::translation::setPolicy(d, policy);
(gdb) n

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Calling setPolicyStatus() and getPolicy() have the same Phenomenon

Thank you for entering the issue. Unfortunately the current design will do this if the calls are not done in the right order, this is because the structures have not been set up. Agreed there should be some protection and it should not cause a segmentation fault.

Sorry, didn't mean to close the issue. It will remain open until it is resolved.

The issue still exists in the new version. although we should do test in order, when we do other test without initial LIB &
device, we think that it should tell us "it can't connect to Device".
