Crash on access of EnsembleSolution

General Usage

Hello,
I’ve experienced a crash of julia when I wanted to access my EnsembleSolution. The message told me to report the bug. Since I don’t know where to report it, I do it here. Below is my code to produce the EnsembleSolution:

using Plots, DifferentialEquations, LaTeXStrings;
c=1500.0       
kappa=4/3    
P_stat=100.0e+3  
P_v=2.33e+3     
rho=998.0      
sigma=0.0725  
mu= 0.001
P_s=80e+3        
R_n=10e-6       
v=70e+3    
function bubbleKME2(dx,x,p,t) 
    dx[1]=x[2]
    dx[3]=v
    dx[2]=(-x[2]^2/2*(3-x[2]/c) +(1+(1-3*kappa)*x[2]/c)*((P_stat-P_v)/rho+2*sigma/(rho*p[1]))*(p[1]/x[1])^(3*kappa)
            -2*sigma/(rho*x[1]) -4*mu*x[2]/(rho*x[1]) -(1+x[2]/c)*(P_stat-P_v+P_s*sin(2*pi*x[3]))/rho
            -x[1]*2*pi*v*P_s/(rho*c)*cos(2*pi*x[3])
           )/((1-x[2]/c)*x[1]+4*mu/(rho*c))
end
U0=0.0
Theta0=0.0
R_n=10e-6
x0=[R_n,U0,Theta0]
tspan=(0.0,0.0015)
p=[R_n]
prob=ODEProblem(bubbleKME2, x0, tspan,p)
function prob_func(prob,i,repeat)
    x=prob.p[1] +i*3e-8
  remake(prob,u0=-[1e-7,0.,0.]+[x,0.,0.],p=[x])
end
ensemble_prob = EnsembleProblem(prob,prob_func=prob_func)
sim = solve(ensemble_prob,Tsit5(),trajectories=85, progress=true)

I know this lowly optimized, but anyways I get a crash when I want to access sim[1,:,3] (value 1 at all times of my 3rd solution). Or any other solution except the first one.

The error messages are:

I am working with:

Julia Version 1.5.0

I’ve seen there is a new bug report system with rr trace. But I dont know how to do it with Windows.
Thanks and Greetings

First, you should check if it still crashes with the current nightly build, which you can get here:

Then the place to report this is here:

3

In the nightly build:

You can expect many packages not to work with this version.

I need the packages for my further work. Can I install the dev version with my current build remaining untouched?

4

Yes, you can.

5

Ok. I did it. Now it doesn’t crash anymore. But there comes an error.
I’ve figured out that this error only occurs when the specific solution has a different length.
So in my case I can access only solutions with exactly 3957 elements. Any other solution with a different length leads to an error with sim[1,:,#ofSolution].

6

Hmm, now it is quite specific. I let it to the experts.

I guess there’s an issue with the : - macro.
It works when I use sim[#ofSolution][1,:] instead of sim[1,:,#ofSolution].

8 
julia> size(sim)
(3, 3957, 85)

julia> size(sim[1].u)
(3957,)

The simulation is treated as being 3 x 3957 x 85.
This is despite the fact that for the second simulation, we have 3978 time points, more than 3957:

julia> size(sim[2].u)
(3978,)

Therefore, if we take a slice of the second time point, we only get the first 3957 time points back, not all 3978

julia> size(sim[1,:,2])
(3957,)

julia> u2_v1 = first.(sim[2].u);

julia> u2_v2 = sim[1,:,2];

julia> u2_v1[eachindex(u2_v2)] == u2_v2
true

julia> length.((u2_v1, u2_v2))
(3978, 3957)

Meanwhile, the third solution:

julia> size(sim[3].u)
(3928,)

Has 3928 time points, less than 3957. Hence the segfault.

EDIT:
Beaten to it by 40 minutes: Crash on access of EnsembleSolution - #5 by peatlux
As a workaround, I’d do getindex.(sim[j].u, i) instead of sim[i,:,j].

Thanks a lot! This was really very fast help.
So the :-macro works as intended?
If yes, shall I delete the issue on github?
