[comp.windows.x] X Errors

herrage@ntpal.UUCP (Robert Herrage) (06/15/90)

I'm receiving the following error after I enter the XtMainLoop function
(using X11R4):

  X Error:  BadAlloc
    Request Major code 1 ()
    Request Minor code 8
    ResourceID 0xa00095
    Error Serial #276
    Current Serial #289

Being a beginner, I have no earthly idea where to begin or how to find
out what to do to correct my problem.  ANY help would be greatly appre-
ciated.

    [an error]

Run your program with the -sychronous command line option.  This makes
Xlib run synchronously (it will also make your program run much more
slowly).  As a result, the error will occur during the offending Xlib
call instead of some arbitrary time later.

Now run your program under a debugger and put a breakpoint in abort().
A stack trace from the breakpoint will tell you which function is really
failing.

From there, you're on your own!
