Help on RTC

[Dhirendra Singh]

Hi,
I am running RTC in Batch Mode to check memory leak.
In the middle i get the below error message from rtc

.rtcinit:13: Error in sourced command file:
The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.
GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.
To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on"
Evaluation of the expression containing the function (__rtc_leaks_info) will be abandoned.

I do set the variable unwindonsignal to on in .gdbinit file but i still get the error message.

Here is some messages from rtc...

Questions on complex wdb issue should be directed to: wdb-help@cup.hp.com

I assume you now have the released version of wdb 5.7?
I assume the application doesn't abort unless you do the batch checking?

Does "show heap-check" show scrambling on?
That could show up with signal 11.

[Dhirendra Singh]

GDB version is 5.6.0 and this error comes only when i run RTC in batch mode.

Also scrambling is off.
below are the lines in the rtcconfig file

set heap-check off
set heap-check leaks on
set heap-check free off
set heap-check string off
set heap-check bounds off
set heap-check frame-count 20
set heap-check scramble off

>GDB version is 5.6.0 and this error comes only when I run RTC in batch mode.

Please try the latest 5.7.
Also, even though it doesn't abort without the heap checking, any user corruption can move to a different place.

>Also scrambling is off.

You might want to turn that on, along with free, string, bounds and heap-check itself. You might want to reduce frame-count so it runs faster.

Hi Dhirendra,

Does your application use dlopen/shl_load calls to dynamically load in shared libraries ?

Please try the latest WDB 5.7 available at http://www.hp.com/go/wdb and do get back if you
face any more issues with it.

Thanks and regards,
Mithun
