This helps prevent potential segfaults due to null-pointer dereferencing in the face of errors when the plugin is accessed via multiple threads. If multiple threads are pushing errors onto the error stack then its possible for elements of the various string pointer arrays to be left NULL, causing a segfault when the stack is printed. Whilst this does nothing to address the "correctness" of the plugin in a multi-threaded context, at least it shouldn't crash. Error messages may still be corrupted.
Durin
XDS plugin for reading HDF5 files following the NeXuS format or those written by Dectris Eiger detectors.
See:
- https://www.nexusformat.org
- https://www.dectris.com/features/features-eiger-x/hdf5-and-nexus
- https://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki
Usage
In your XDS.INP add:
LIB=[path to durin-plugin.so]
NAME_TEMPLATE_OF_DATA_FRAMES=[data_path]/data_images_??????.h5
XDS will instruct the plugin to load [data_path]/data_images_master.h5 and this must be the
Eiger master file or the NeXus file for the data collection.
It is generally assumed that the files [data_path]/data_images_data_xxxxxx.h5 contain the actual
datasets and the master file contains HDF5 external links to these, but that is not required, so long as
the master file contains an NXdata or NXdetector group with either a dataset named data or a
series of datasets named data_000001, data_000002, etc.
Requirements
- HDF5 Library (https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads)
