Description:I have a set command in my dialplan that uses the string function to filter everything but digits from CallerID(number) and then puts that value in a variable. When the call hits that line, I get an error message from func_strings.c and then asterisk crashes. The error message is only the "usage" message for how to use filter.

Forgot to add the output:

Jul  1 22:10:31 ERROR[14825]: func_strings.c:87 filter: Usage: FILTER(<allowed-chars>,<string>)
   -- Executing [64776101@incoming:1] Set("SIP/16145606924-081d64a0", "CALLERID(number)=") in new stack
   -- Executing [64776101@incoming:2] Set("SIP/16145606924-081d64a0", "SOURCE=") in new stack
asterisk*CLI>
Disconnected from Asterisk server

Here's the relevant line from my dialplan:
Set(CALLERID(number)=${FILTER("0123456789","${CALLERID(number)}")})

I also tried doing it without the quotes, same result

The FILTER function has been fixed in the trunk.

However, it does not look like this had anything to do with why your system crashed.  We will need a backtrace to find out the details.  Please rebuild Asterisk with "make dont-optimize", re-install, and read doc/backtrace.txt for some information on how to provide a backtrace.

Thanks!

I'll try doing that on my dev server, as the problem was noticed on a client's server.

Until then, this might possibly help. When running make install from zaptel's source tree (I used trunk and the 1.2 branch separately with same result) I got unresolved symbol errors at the depmod part at the end. I ran depmod -ae and got:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.27/misc/zttranscode.o
depmod:         remap_pfn_range
depmod:         zt_transcode_fops

I'll do that debug build today hopefully. Thanks for your help!

russell:  I don't think that's the right fix.  Arguments to functions should all be delimited by the "|" character.  The "," delimiter is meant only to emulate the common usage with extensions.conf.

Good to know, I wasn't aware of that. I'll try updating my trunk, recompiling, and then changing my dialplan

Waiting on backtrace to be posted.

By: Sherwood McGowan (rushowr) 2006-07-01 11:39:07

Ok, it's dying at the REGEX function call. The documentation I was able to find was slim on this, so that's probably my issue. Here's the command:

Set(cidcheck=${REGEX("\(65\)[0-9]\{8\}" ${SOURCE})})

backtrace to follow

By: Sherwood McGowan (rushowr) 2006-07-01 14:17:20

Backtrace uploaded... I think I definitely had the wrong culprit, looks like REGEX and probably my usage. However, Zaptel is causing strange issues too...

Hi,

is there anyway you can provide a core dump  for this crash?
the backtrace is usefull but i need more information to pinpoint the bug..

to make one

ulimit -c unlimited  (or whatever size you think is sufficant)

and then upload the core file...

A core file is completely useless to anybody who does not have an identical system.  Please do NOT upload your core file.

Since you opened 7466, this report is no longer needed.
