I was trying to use the xgprof utility.
Its has a piece of code bundled with it named as "big.c"
On compiling it i got the error message
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test]# gcc big.c
cc1: out of memory allocating 19208 bytes after a total of 1803980800 bytes
so how do i compile it .
On running cat big.c | wc -l the output was 2749876 lines
The idea is to compile it with gcc -pg as a profiler testcase (through a
plain "make" from the test directory) but that won't make anything better.
Your total is a little short of 2G which is getting to be close to a
value where you'd first have to answer the question whether you're using
a 32-bit or 64-bit system.
Assuming though it's 64-bit or 32-bit with the normal 3:1 addressspace
split, the answer's likely just that your patience is bigger than your
amount of RAM + swap.
When I interrupted the thing it had only grown to 400M (on a 32-bit
system) and didn't seem terribly keen on growing larger than that but if
you just waited a long time there's probably nothing wrong. Or your GCC
leaks...
