Function pointer call results in InstrFetchProhibited (ESP32) I have the following issue which I'm unable to resolve by myself. Perhaps one of you could point me to issues in my code which I don't see.

There is a class called communicator which handles an MQTT connection. I use PubSubClient as a MQTT client. The constructor of communicator looks like the following. Besides connection arguments, it also receives an array of structs SubscriptionHandler. These structs define which topics should be subscribed to and also point to a callback method. When a communicator receives a MQTT message, it compares the topic to the known ones and calls the appropriate callback.

Communicator(char * mqttBrokerIP, uint16_t mqttBrokerPort, char *mqttUsername, char * mqttPassword, char * mqttClientHostname, SubscriptionHandler subscriptionHandlers[], int lenHandlers);


SubscriptionHandler. is defined like this:

typedef void (*callback)();

struct SubscriptionHandler
{
    char *Topic;
    callback Callback;
};


I tried the following: In the main file, I defined two methods for demonstration purposes:

void enableHandler()
{
  Serial.println("enable handler");
}

void disableHandler()
{
  Serial.println("disable handler");
}


The communicator is created in the setup()-Method:

SubscriptionHandler handlers[] = {{&amp;strEnable, enableHandler},
                                    {&amp;strDisable, disableHandler}};


callback (in communicator.h) typedef void (callback)(); 

strings : String strEnable = ("test/" + hostname + "/command/enable"); and the same for disable. Those are also defined in main.cpp –

As soon as the communicator receives a MQTT message, the ESP32 crashes with the following message:

Therefore, something is wrong with how I use the function pointer (or somewhere which I don't even think about). Could anyone give me a hint where I could start?
I found the issue. After moving SubscriptionHandler handlers[] = ... out of the setup()-method, the function calls work. Perhaps handlers gets overwritten after leaving the setupfunction scope. Could anyone validate my suspected reason?
