Problems debugging with aCC 3.39 and WDB/GDB 3.3

[David Black_5]

Hi were are trying to debug some 64bit code
but fail with "out of memory" as below:

Statically link debug executable built with

Compiler: aCC: HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.39
Server: HP-UX sydhp01 B.11.11 U 9000/800 1179464675 unlimited-user license

Out of memory.

Can anyone help, we have recently increased
maxdsiz and maxdsiz_64bit to link this code.
Thanks,
Dave Black

ENOMEM can be caused by either a lack of memory or a lack of swap space.

Check your swap space to make sure you have enough space there as well.

Keep in mind that for systems up to and including about 5 to 8 gig, that device swap space should be configured to at least 2 x RAM.

Best regards,

Check your dbcmaxpct parameter and verify that it does not evaluate to over 200 Mb

(dbcmaxpct * phys Memory ) = dbcmax...

Also, since you bumped maxdsiz, did you by chance also bump maxtsiz and maxssiz? I have normally tuned them all in conjunction with each other.

Values are 3000Mb (3 Gb), 256Mb, and 80 Mb respectively for the 3 tunables.

Also, try static linking. (not sure how you are linking...)

good luck

oops "...Statically link debug executable built with " missed that....

a new version of pxdb along with the next linker/loader patches should be able to fix this problem. none of these are out yet, expected by december.
