Hello Roy,

Which platform are you referring to? Which EDK2 DSC file are you using for your UEFI firmware?

Thanks,

Olivier

I've been working with the DEBUG build of EDK2, and thought I had changed the configuration to be 'proper' for a single core, and it ran fine on a single core simulation. As I started removing debug prints, I started getting simulator seg faults. I confirmed that the difference between running and crashing versions were simply debug prints.

Changing the simulation to simulator 2 cores resolved the problem. I suspect that there may be a race condition or some other multi-core detection bug that causes this crash.

I don't plan to investigate this further at this point - just wanted to report this as I was surprised to find that a debug print being removed would cause the simulator to crash.

Roy
