Description mrnuke 2014-11-16 17:42:37 CET 
As reported by one of our Fedora users, pulseview crashes when the uart PD is used. I suspect the problem is with libsigrokdecode.

This problem was originally reported at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164491

Short story is:

 $ pulseview 
 Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked
 
 Current thread 0xb779b7c0:
   File "/usr/share/libsigrokdecode/decoders/uart/pd.py", line 341 in decode
 Aborted (core dumped)

I can't seem to reproduce this. Is it possible to get an example .sr file that allows us to reproduce the issue?

I think this is not an issue in the UART decoder, it happens when trying to run multiple decoders at the same time in PulseView. Thus, marking as duplicate of #181.

Note: You *can* have multiple PDs in PulseView, they just cannot decode at the same time. Add one PD and let it finish its decode, *then* add another one and let it finish etc. That should work fine in current PulseView.
