Memory leaks and garbage collector for c++ (libgc) usage

Hi,

I'm trying to solve memory leaks tedious question in my application using the provided Sun library libgc.

I've tried to link the library dynamically using the -lgc flag, but when I run the app, it crashes almost immediately.

In the core file and in the log file gc.log I can see that probably the function which causes the application crash is gcGetCleanMemory().

Here's the content of the libgc log file:

This file contains Sun Visual Workshop Memory Monitor's messages for this program run.

gcall Build $Id$ Threads Version 3.10 for Forte C++ 5.4

gcUnixMMap: MAP_FAILED when mapping /dev/zero (fswap=3, size=65536Kb, flags=0x10)

!!! **** gcGetCleanMemory: MMAP committed failed

My OS is:

bash-2.03$ uname -a

SunOS localhost 5.8 Generic_108528-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

Could someone help me?

I've also tried to preload the library (export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/SUNWspro/lib/v9/libgc.so) but the result doesn't change.

Thanks

Alex
