Periodic Gate + PriorityScheduler ERROR

[GOAguiar99]

Hello!

I'm implementing a different pending queue in the IEEE80211 module. Below is the new pending queue design:

The issue is that when a gate is closed, the scheduler still tries to schedule a packet, resulting in an error. Is this the expected behavior? Do you have any suggestions for what I could change to resolve this?

Here is the relevant part of the PriorityScheduler.cc code:
int PriorityScheduler::schedulePacket() { for (size_t i = 0; i < providers.size(); i++) { int inputIndex = getInputGateIndex(i); if (inputIndex == inProgressGateIndex || providers[inputIndex]->canPullSomePacket(inputGates[inputIndex]->getPathStartGate())) return inputIndex; } return -1; }

The scheduler should not try to pull a packet through a gate which is closed. Actually, the call to canPullSomePacket makes sure that there is a packet which can be pulled. When a gate is closed, canPullSomePacket supposed to return false independently of whether the queue contains packets or not. So your design should work the way you expect.

I appreciate your reply, @levy . Unfortunately, I need to have this working by next Monday, as it’s part of a project for my master’s class. Could you help me resolve this issue or at least point me to where the bug might be occurring?

Please attach a minimal example, preferably your NED and INI files, and the exact steps to reproduce/see the erroneous behavior.
