OpenMP Assert Error: `id < (int) cache_info->number_threads'

Post by jonoomph »

Greetings! When I recently updated ImageMagick to version 6.7.7-10, it started giving me an assertion failure related to the number of threads. My program uses OpenMP as well, so I imagine this is related to that fact. But previous versions of ImageMagick worked fine with no assertion failures. Now, I receive the following error when an Image() instance is created:

Code: Select all

example: magick/cache.c:4536: QueueAuthenticPixels: Assertion `id < (int) cache_info->number_threads' failed.
Here are some details about my environment:

Code: Select all

$ convert -version

Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2013-02-25 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: OpenMP   

Code: Select all

$ identify -list resource

resourceFile         Area       Memory          Map         Disk    Thread         Time
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 768     33.559GB    15.627GiB    31.254GiB    unlimited         8    unlimited
Work Around
The only way I can invoke a new Image() instance without trigging the assertion failure is by first invoking: omp_set_num_threads(4). Strangely, if I use any value greater than 4 it throws the assertion failure. Any value less than or equal to 4, it works fine. I have spent a few hours debugging this issue without much success. Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

OpenMP support is much improved in recent releases of ImageMagick. The current version is 6.8.6-9. If you get a chance, install 6.8.6-9 and see if the problem persists. If it does, let us know and we will investigate further.

Thanks for the response. I will install the newest version of ImageMagick (6.8.6-9) and let you know if I have the same issues.

I have tested with the latest version, ImageMagick 6.8.9-8, and everything works correctly. But with version 6.7.7.X, it always throws this error, "QueueAuthenticPixels: Assertion `id < (int) cache_info->number_threads' failed.", if I allow more than 4 threads. Anyway, if you are having this issue, just build from source and everything will work correctly.

Thanks,
