Hi @aalkin, this is an impressively sneaky issue, thanks for the fix! In practice, note you'll need a lot of approvals for this now ( |

In the original code a temporary iterator to fv0a/fv0c is created and immediately discarded, leaving the result of
amplitude()(which is a span, a non-owning view) a with dangling references to the internals of the iterator. This worked by accident, since the underlying array in shared memory is available regardless, but can potentially lead to problems. Switching fromgsl::spanto thestd::span(PR AliceO2Group/AliceO2#14421) makes the original code fail to compile.@ddobrigk @ktf
