Platform-specific issues

Cygwin

Python bindings do not build successfully due to a gccxml bug. See the NS-3_Python_Bindings#Caveats page.

General build problems

  • Q. What is this kind of build error representative of?
 assert failed. file=../src/core/type-id.cc, line=389, cond="uid != 0"
 Command ['/ns-3-dev/build/debug/examples/mixed-wireless'] exited with code -5
  • A. The system can't find the specified TypeId. Check spelling, and whether it is prefixed with the namespace "ns3::"

Run-time errors

  • Q. What is this assertion indicating?
 assert failed. file=debug/ns3/tags.h, line=105, cond="sizeof (T) <= Tags::SIZE"
  • A. The packet tag may be greater than Tags::SIZE (16 bytes)

Debugging tips

  • Q. Is there a way to dereference a Ptr when in gdb?
  • A. yes: p *ptr->m_ptr
