    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-16640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=197325#comment-197325 ] 

Matt Jordan commented on ASTERISK-16640:
----------------------------------------

First, no one has "given up" on Asterisk 1.8.  Asterisk 1.8 is an LTS version [1] that continues to receive bug fixes, and new releases are made on a monthly basis that contain those bug fixes.  I'm not sure how you would come to the conclusion that Asterisk 1.8 isn't supported simply because this issue happens to be open.

Second, ConfBridge is marked as an extended support module in Asterisk 1.8 [2].  Development fixes for it typically come from the developer community.  While Gunnar provided an in-comment snippet of code that *may* fix the problem in Asterisk 1.8, no one has actually provided a patch for that version, attached it to this issue, tested it, and confirmed that it fixed the problem.  If you need this fixed in Asterisk 1.8, you may want to consider contacting a developer on the asterisk-biz list to see if they'd be willing to fix this for you.

Finally, ConfBridge went through a major overhaul for Asterisk 10.  The intent wasn't just to fix bugs - it and the underlying Bridge API got several major improvements that were too intrusive to be made in a release branch.  The changes made were not candidates for backporting.  As a result of some of those changes, some things that were bugs in Asterisk 1.8 in ConfBridge were naturally fixed.  If someone would like to use some of those changes to fix the bugs in ConfBridge in Asterisk 1.8 they'd be welcome to do so - but they'd need to attach the diffs as patches to the appropriate bug reports and test them.

> ConfBridge crashes when users leave the conference at the same time (very timing sensitive).
> I have reproduced the issue every time (3-4 times) when using the res_timing_timerfd timer and with (only tried one time) with res_timing_pthread timer.
> I didn't get the crash when I tried (only one time) with the res_timing_dahdi timer but I might have just been lucky.
