Hello hackers,
I'm fiddling around with the backend and have created a memory bug. I
guess I'm overriding a palloced chunk, but can't figure out where.
The backend's report is:
WARNING: problem in alloc set MessageContext: req size > alloc size for
chunk 0x8383ca8 in block 0x83834a0
Investigating a little I have found out that chunk size is 8, but
requested size is: 1912602626 (more than 1GB???). This certainly
doesn't make sense.
What tools or debugging options exist to find memory leaks / overrides?
I've read the utils/mmgr/README, which leads me to the conclusion that I
cannot use valgrind or similar tools.
It would be very helpful to know what chunk it is, or better: where it
got allocated.
Thank you for your help
Markus
