panic error

[niteshkpatil]

Hi,

I am compiling a C program on Hp-UX11.11 using the HP C compiler.

% cc test.c (say for example....)

I get the following message and the compilation is aborted.

% cc: panic 3011:

What does this mean ??

Thanks for help in advance.

You'd better ask on an HPUX list.

"panic 3011"

Scaring...

The most probable problem is tha the compiler is not correctly
installed. Sometimes this "fixes" itself by just reinstalling.

Are you by any chance a Windows user?

"panics" are very often bad installation or missing
parts of the software.

Yes, I am a windows user. No, I have never seen
software under windows "panic", that is a thing
that only happens to me under unix.

windows programs do not "panic", they just crash.

"Panic" is just an error message. As I would have thought was
obvious, I was drawing attention to the attitude common amoung Windows
users that if something doesn't work, the solution is to reinstall
something - drivers, programs, the whole operating system. This
expectation that things will often stop working for no apparent
reason, and that all you can do is accept it and reinstall, is in my
experience largely confined to Windows users. Elsewhere, if something
doesn't work, we expect the cause to be found and rectified.

Windows users also expect others to follow the same defeatist dogma.
If a unix user phones their ISP to complain that their ADSL connection
isn't working, they will typically be told to try reinstalling the
drivers or operating system. When you ask which computer they'd like
you to do this on, they will say "all of them".

hint: UNIX programs don't panic. The kernel does, in circumstances
where you get to something like:

/* uh oh, we're never supposed to wind up here */
panic();

otherwise known as unfinished code, or a condition so bad that no
reasonable error handling strategy is available other than a system
crash.

Whoever put that message in a C compiler was just being silly.

You are too hard with the software developers!
If you assume that the shared library with the preprocessor is
in the installation directory and some moron student erased
it to make fun of his fellow students that is NOT something
you can foresee, for instance.

And it was better to write some diagnostic message than just crashing
like many windows programs do!

Normally C compilers (and in HP Unix machines) will never give such
an error. But if a component of the compiler is missing, for instance
that one that outputs error messages, the ONLy thing to do is just
write some diagnostics into the screen and exit.

If you go to
http://docs.hp.com/en/92432-90012/ch08s03.html
you will find the description of the assembler
panic messages. The panic 3011 is NOT
in the documentation of the HP assembler
so it must be something "really" weird!

In any case panic messages are only mentioned in
the assembler documentation NOT in the compiler
documentation.

Do you have enough space in /tmp?
Do you have enough disk space in you machine?

What's the "installati on directory" ? Is it one which
anyone can write ?
