Fast DDS Thread Affinity Errors on macOS Sequoia (M3 Apple Silicon) #124
Description
Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.
- I checked the documentation.
Issue
I'm getting repeated error messages when running RoboStack on macOS Tahoe with M3 Apple Silicon.
Setup:
- Following the installation instructions from https://robostack.github.io/GettingStarted.html#__tabbed_2_3
- ROS 2 Jazzy environment
- with
export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_fastrtps_cpp- Cyclone DDS and Zenoh don't have this issue
Error:
Every time I run a ROS command (e.g., ros2 topic list), I get multiple [SYSTEM Error] messages about thread affinity:
Problem to set affinity of thread with id [0x16d1f7000,dds.log] to value 0.
Error 'Protocol family not supported' -> Function configure_current_thread_affinity
This repeats for various DDS threads (dds.shm.wdog, dds.ev.0, dds.udp.*, etc.)
Current Behavior:
- The errors appear at the start of every ROS executable that uses DDS
- Despite the errors, basic functionality seems to work (can run examples, subscribe to topics, etc.)
Extra:
When I tried rebuilding ROS/fastrtps/fastcdr from scratch I got to suppress these warnings by setting up some cmake flags when building...
--cmake-args \
-DLOG_NO_INFO=ON \
-DLOG_NO_WARNING=ON \
-DLOG_NO_ERROR=ON \
-DINTERNAL_DEBUG=OFF \
It was not a fix, it just hid the error messages
