[asterisk-users] valgrind + Asterisk

2006-08-17 Thread yusuf

Hi,

has anybody got valgring to work with asterisk

i do a
-- valgrind --tool=memcheck -v asterisk -c

then Asterisk just dies.

The problem I have is that on the box I have Asterisk running, the memory is reported as being used 
up, then when there is liitle ram left, the box just hangs.  So Asterisk might have a memory leak, 
and I am trying to find it.


Can anybody help?

thanks,
yusuf

What version of asterisk? Did you use any special build options to build
it?

What do you mean?

This box aparantly has only 6028kb availble. However if you ignore
memory that the kernel temporarily uses for its own optimizations
(buffering and such) it actually has almost 78720 kb free.

To debug memory allocations, build asterisk with memory debugging.
Probably a lot less overhead than valgrind. Look for "astmm".

asterisk 1.2.1
I went into asterisk source and did a 'make valgrind'



The problem I have is that on the box I have Asterisk running, the memory 
is reported as being used up, then when there is liitle ram left, the box 
just hangs.

Asterisk has just hung now. When I go asterisk -rvvv i only get

even a killall asterisk does not help.
