[asterisk-users] Macro vs sub

[Jonas Kellens]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Anyone else ? Maybe one of the developers can confirm this risk of 
working with macros ?

I'm now also moving towards GoSub where possible. I was experiencing 
asterisk restarts every 40minutes. Exactly 40 minutes ! I've created a 
backtrace of the core dump file but have not had any reaction (and I 
myself don't understand the content of the backtrace)


Jonas.
