Hi @tangzhiqiang3

it looks like the example is using too much stack. On QNX the stack size of the main thread is only 512kB. I'm not sure if it also works on QNX but on Linux one can use ulimit -s unlimited to increase the stack size until the next reboot. Alternatively, you can put the component with huge memory demands on the heap

-- iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents roudiComponents(config);
-- iox::roudi::RouDi roudi(roudiComponents.rouDiMemoryManager, roudiComponents.portManager, config);
++ std::unique_ptr<iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents> roudiComponents{new iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents (config)};
++ iox::roudi::RouDi roudi(roudiComponents->rouDiMemoryManager, roudiComponents->portManager, config);

If this works, can you please create a pull request with these changes?

Change to smart pointer or the same crash:
Process 648306807 (single_process) terminated SIGSEGV code=1 fltno=11 ip=000000282c37b36c(/var/data/./single_process@main+0x0000000000000008) mapaddr=000000000000a36c. ref=0000001396f62d80

patch:

     iox::RouDiConfig_t defaultRouDiConfig = iox::RouDiConfig_t().setDefaults();
-    iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents roudiComponents(defaultRouDiConfig);
+    // iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents roudiComponents(defaultRouDiConfig);
+    std::unique_ptr<iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents> roudiComponents{new iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents(defaultRouDi
Config)};
 
     constexpr bool TERMINATE_APP_IN_ROUDI_DTOR_FLAG = false;
     iox::roudi::RouDi roudi(
-        roudiComponents.rouDiMemoryManager,
-        roudiComponents.portManager,
+        roudiComponents->rouDiMemoryManager,
+        roudiComponents->portManager,
         iox::roudi::RouDi::RoudiStartupParameters{iox::roudi::MonitoringMode::OFF, TERMINATE_APP_IN_ROUDI_DTOR_FLAG});

Oh, while the IceOryxRouDiComponents is the largest object with more than 1MB in size, the others are also quite large and in sum blow the stack up. I think you also need to move at least roudi (200kB) and runtime (420kB) to the heap with an unique_ptr. The config is only 62kB and should be fine on the stack.

Alternatively, if you don't want to use the heap, it would also be possible to place the objects into the data segment with

#include "iox/optional.hpp"
#include "iox/scoped_static.hpp"
// ...
static iox::optional<iox::roudi::IceOryxRouDiComponents> roudiComponents;
auto roudiComponentsGuard = iox::makeScopedStatic(roudiComponents, config);

@tangzhiqiang3 did this work for you?
