malloc() : not enough space

[Guettache]

Hi,
I am running HP-UX 11.0, and a malloc() call (in one of my C programs) returns an ENOMEM (out of memory messages) status.

My C application is 32 bit running on 64 bit kernel.

DO I need to increase the maxdsiz only?

Thanks,

Narimane

If you are running short of memory then you are right.

Just increase maxdsiz(this parameter is for the 32 bit executables).


Thanks

Hi T G,

Thanks for your reply.

I have increased the maxdsiz

This has resolved my problem

The other 2 parameters that "We" normally bump with Maxdsiz are
maxtsiz
maxssiz

(They are bumped for using "oinkers" like Apex, Rose, etc) for medium size models, etc.

For performance keep your dbcmaxpct less than 300 Mb on a memory rich (over 2Gb system RAM) and less than 120 mb if less RAM.

dbcmaxpct is a percentage of total ram.
