Rafael,

Either there is a gigantic memory leak somewhere in combination of the
onnv_74 compiled operating environment and Sun Studio 11, or Sun
Studio 12 should really really not be used to compile gates.

Please have a look here: http://opensolaris.pastebin.ca/719938

As you can see, I have a system with 2GB or RAM and around 2GB of swap space.
All services are either disabled or not running, so all memory
consumption is done by the gate compile.

I really can't recall my compiles to eat up all my memory and swap.
Maybe it's a good thing to mention on onnv community site not to use
Sun Studio 12 at all, looking at the current behavior.

For me it doesn't really matter, I tried Sun Studio 12 to witness the
side effects for myself, so I was asking for it (crazy but true) but
someone else who reads it "may give problems" (directly quoted from
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/) might still consider
using Sun Studio 12 and give it a shot rather than going trough the
(what one might call) hassle of installing Sun Studio 11.

Of course we'll know more once I get the gate to compile with SS11,
but as far as I can tell now I'll have to reinstall my machine to get
rid of this unstable mess.

Please don't see this as a complaint mail, it is not. I want to get
more involved with (open)solaris and that's exactly why I do things
that might brick my machine so I can give you feedback :)


Take care,

Patrick
