On A2, angle_compensate_nodes size is 720 but sometimes angle_value-angle_compensate_offset+j becomes equal to 720. This causes overflow at line 313

const int angle_compensate_nodes_count = 360*angle_compensate_multiple;
int angle_compensate_offset = 0;
rplidar_response_measurement_node_hq_t angle_compensate_nodes[angle_compensate_nodes_count];
rplidar_response_measurement_node_hq_t angle_compensate_nodes[angle_compensate_nodes_count+8];

Why hardcode 8 ? I would understand 1 to add one more time the size of a rplidar_response_measurement_node_hq_t to the size of the memory space, but 8 ? This is not a pointer, and even if it was, this an array on the stack, not a malloc-ed buffer, so the size is not counted the same by the language.

If 1 is not the correct option I don't know what is, but 8 is for sure not the right thing to write. The function being huge it is hard to tell what is what but there must be a variable or a formula that makes sense.

8 is not the right thing to write. Because I already spent a lot time, I hate this but that's a solution at least.

Note: I have used Google's AddressSanitizer to detect the corruption. Valgrind or gdb didn't work for me.

I faced a similar issue today and it was fixed by a similar patch.

I was running the node with a RPLidar A3 in Stability mode on a Raspi using the official usb module with the highest baudrate and it crashed consistently after a few seconds of running.
