[osol-discuss] Webcast on Solaris/Xeon

2008-04-27 Thread Stewart, David C
In case you are interested. I recently sat in on a webcast with Sun talking about some of our work optimizing OpenSolaris on Xeon. If you're curious about some of the work we're doing, it's nice because I talk a little about the upcoming Nehalem processor family and our work there. http://

You should be able to use the 32-bit library just fine under a 64-bit kernel. If the library comes as a shared object, it won't even link to a 64-bit executable at run time. And if it's a static archive (.a file), it won't link into a 64-bit binary at link time. This message posted from ope

What does "ipcs -A" show? (I *think* Solaris 8 supports the "-A" option to ipcs...) Maybe there's a hint there. You should at least see the time of the last semop() on the semaphores. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discus

Wouldn't it be easier to just read the input using fgets(), fread(), etc. until you get the entire string, then use sscanf() on the string you read? Of course, there are a lot of issues with reading input like this. First and foremost, how do you know when it's done? If you use a fixed-length

You might want to try running that app under dbx and using the run-time memory checker to see if you can spot any errors: dbx qlsc (dbx) dbxenv rtc_auto_continue on (dbx) dbxenv error_log_file_name /your/log/file (dbx) check -all -frames 16 (dbx) run list -a wmc -q 8 (That's from memory, so if i

Looks like a botched string conversion. Biggest clue: strlen(0x28) That means the code is trying to take the length of a string with an address really close to 0. That's pretty much guaranteed in this case to be either a null pointer dereference, or a snprintf format-argument mismatch, where
