Also add output of SoapySDRUtil --probe="driver=sdrplay" to the wiki for demonstration (scrub any serials)

Probe device driver=sdrplay
Error probing device: map::at: key not found
Its a generic std::map error, probably a bug though. Can you get a gdb backtrace?
gdb --args SoapySDRUtil --probe="driver=sdrplay"
in the terminal type run + enter
presumably it will crash
in the terminal type bt + enter
why are you using "driver=sdrplay"?
SoapySDRUtil --probe=sdrplay
or
SoapySDRUtil --find=sdrplay
works fine.
why are you using "driver=sdrplay"?
The string is parsed as key/value pairs separated by commas and equals, so the driver key unlike the others just tells SoapySDR's factory/discovery to only look at the sdrplay registered functions.
Anyway, find works, but probe instantiates the device and reads a lot of settings and prints out a summary to the console. So something may be untested/uninitialized thats not usually read before its set, or something like that.
A backtrace would probably point to the exact function in question.
I've never used or seen --probe used in any other way than --probe=sdrplay
So why does --probe=sdrplay work? Should SoapySDRUtil not complain that there isn't a key/value pair specified?
So why does --probe=sdrplay work? Should SoapySDRUtil not complain that there isn't a key/value pair specified?
It just parses it as the key "sdrplay" and value is a "" blank string. There's nothing that cares about key sdrplay, so its just ignored basically. This just means its not filtering out other devices, not really an issue if there is only one device anyhow :-)
No gdb here. This is a Mac.
really just looking for a backtrace if possible. so lldb? https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/gdb_to_lldb_transition_guide/document/lldb-command-examples.html

Cool. However, I'm confused, so probe normally crashes for you like this: Error probing device: map::at: key not found, but its fine when run in the debugger?
