Any idea?

I think understand in which case it happens.

When I receive a REGISTER, I create a transaction since I need to use the t_continue feature to wake up a suspended transaction. However, the save() command of the REGISTRAR module doesn't seem to call t_reply for replying the 200 (it looks like the SL module is used instead). Therefore, I get the warning every time it happens since the transaction is not released explicitly.

Should I call t_release just before exiting the block handling the REGISTER?

Hi,

In my logs, I get a lot of the following warnings:

WARNING: tm [t_lookup.c:1476]: t_unref(): WARNING: script writer didn't release transaction

I force transaction creation from my script to absorb retransmissions as soon as possible. I understand that I need to explicitly call t_release in order to avoid this warning.

What is the most appropriate place in the script to call t_release?

Thanks,

Mickael

Your interpretation is correct; an SL final reply within a context where a transaction exists will trigger the error.

A safe approach is:

if(t_lookup_request()) t_release();

Well, more pedantically, exiting script following an SL final reply in a context where a transaction exists is what will trigger the error.

Does Kamailio have a way to determine if to use the TM or SL module to send the reply?

If yes, maybe the right solution is to modify the REGISTRAR sources to use it.

I know OpenSIPS has a module called SIGNALING that allows exactly that.

Kamailio has a send_reply() function that accomplishes this for manually issued replies, but that won't help with internally generated replies by the registrar, since these are automatic.

As to a registrar patch, it's up to Daniel, but my personal opinion is that it's not practical to go through the code to patch everything sent SL just to make it more user-friendly in a transactional context where t_suspend/continue are used. Maybe the users should just deal.

Can you think of a case where one wants to reply stateless even if a transaction exists?

No, but I can think of many cases where a transaction won't exist 99% of the time. For the minority exotic cases, this is why manual transaction create/destroy functions are provided by TM.
