Memory segment error in dlopen call

Hello!

I'm using KAI C++ Compiler (KCC) Version 4.0d on Sparc Solaris 8 with
Sun WorkShop[tm] 6 update 2 backend (KCC compiles C++ code to C than
uses the Sun compiler to produce machine executables). When I run our
program under purify to check for memory errors, I get the following
interesting error messages:

MSE: Memory segment error:
* This is occurring while in:
_init [libnsl.so.1]
call_init [util.c]
dlmopen_intn [dlfcns.c]
dlopen []
DLOpEN [rtlib.o]
SO_per_src_look up [nss_deffinder.c]
* Accessing a memory range that crosses a memory segment boundary.
Addressing 0xfd6f42b8 for 4 bytes ending at 0xfd6f42bc,
which is neither in the heap nor the main stack.

MSE: Memory segment error (19 times):
* This is occurring while in:
mutex_init [libthread.so.1]
_libnsl_lock_in it [mt_misc.c]
_init [libnsl.so.1]
call_init [util.c]
dlmopen_intn [dlfcns.c]
dlopen []
* Accessing a memory range that crosses a memory segment boundary.
Addressing 0xfd6fe890 for 2 bytes ending at 0xfd6fe892,
which is neither in the heap nor the main stack.
I've used purify earlier but never seen this message. I'm not even sure
where is the error - in the dynamic library loader, in the libraries
itself, in the linker or in our code - and I don't have any idea how to
get rid of this message (apart from surpressing it :-). Do you have
any idea whether this is an error at all, or just purify thinks it is an
error?
Bye,NAR

[off-topic material snipped]

Ask this in a Solaris or perhaps generic UNIX programming group. The
C++ language, the topic of this group, does not define or support
anything called dlopen or memory segments. This is all platform
specific.

I would like to start a dialog on how to implement the equivalent functionality of UNIX shared memory in .NET. I work with a factory automation system. The bulk of the system is written in C/C++. It was ported from UNIX to run under Windows using .NET. If for no other reason than as an educational exercise, I have been wondering what it would take to rewrite the system under C#. The system currently has about a 100K “shared...

Below are three try-catch blocks. My question is, how can all three work, and how come there is no memory leak (or is there)? As I understand it, an exception object is being created and "thrown" back to the calling function. If you treat this object as a reference or copy it, how does it get cleaned up? /* code segment 1 */ try { m_pCommand->Execute(NULL, NULL, adCmdText | adExecuteNoRecords); }

I get this when I try to start up a freshly compiled beta4 on OS X 10.2.6: FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid argument I saw a previous thread on this for beta2. It sounded like this was a bug that was to be fixed in beta3, but I'm still having this problem with beta4. Thanks,

I wrote a program to calculate factorials of large numbers. The long precission integers are stores in arrays. When i specify the length of these arrays larger than 16000 elements, each element is a long int, the windows refuses to execute the program. More precicely the code terminates as soon as it starts to execute. How can i overcome this issue. Note, if array length is set smaller the code runs with no problems. Here is the code:...

Hello, I have a program that makes use of external plugins, implemented as shared libraries loaded at runtime through a call to dlopen(). The libraries export symbols which the main program collects through a call to dlsym(). The problem is that the libraries refer to certain symbols from the main program. But the linker at runtime fails to resolve these "undefined symbols" in the shared library.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
