SEGV while running dbx
Hi,
Since I was getting a SIGSEGV while running a program, I wanted to check the memory usage in this case.Thats precisely the reason I had used dbx.Unfortunately even while running the same on dbx and having set check -memuse, I get the same core.Is there any solution for this.
Thanks, Ram.

What kind of solution are you looking for?"check -memuse" will not find every possible bug in your program, lookat the stack trace where your program crashed, and try to find the bug the old fashioned way.--chris

I think 'check -access' can help more than 'check -memuse'. Memuse option will make dbx report memory blocks that are in use, not illegal memory access that have caused your program to SEGV. But then again, there can be no illegal memory access except for the one that caused the SEGV; in this case the best you can do is examine crash stack trace and follow Chris's suggestions.

As far as I know, Sun VTS stands for Sun Validation Test Suite for hardware. I doubt that anyone on this forum can help you with its installation, because it is Sun Studio forum.
