What can be done when sdb gives the following fatal error message: "Cannot allocate space for internal symbol table; Goodbye." I can't find anything in my Microport manuals. Thanks in advance. -- David Beckemeyer | "To understand ranch lingo all yuh Beckemeyer Development Tools | have to do is to know in advance what 478 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 | the other feller means an' then pay UUCP: ...!ihnp4!hoptoad!bdt!david | no attention to what he says"

Thanks in advance. I've had this happen to me, usually when I inadvertently call: sdb sourcefile.c instead of the loadable program sdb a.out My guess is you made the same mistake.

Thanks in advance. I have run into this when I work with VERY large programs in which all (or many) of the files are compiled with the "-g" flag. My solution is to not use the "-g" flag on modules that have reached some reasonable level of stability. >I've had this happen to me, usually when I inadvertently call: >sdb sourcefile.c >instead of the loadable program >sdb a.out >My guess is you made the same mistake. I hope not. That could lead to problems. One solution to this is to just type "sdb<c/r>", the defaults for the executable's name, the core file's name and the source directory are: a.out core . so typicaly you don't even need any parameters. -michael -- Michael Galassi | If my opinions happen to be the same as ...!tektronix!tessi!percival!nerd | my employer's it is ONLY a coincidence, ...!uunet!littlei!percival!nerd | of cource coincidences DO happen.
