Hi, A program that was working up until I recently added some minor changes to has suddenly begun to fail with the following message: X Toolkit Error: insufficient resources, bad alloc Reference Count: 1 If anyone out there can tell me what this means or where I can look to reference this it would help me in tracking down what the problem is. I have no clue as to what this message means, I suspect it is an indication that the number of allocated resources have reached some limit. I need an answer to this one ASAP if anyone out there knows. Thanks in advance. Steve Mikes {...}hound!smikes (201)949-7737 #include <usual/disclaimer>

Perhaps you could be explicit about what implementation you are using. As a first debugging technique, try setting a breakpoint in the routine XtError and see who's on the stack then. This error message is at least formatted in the style produced by XtError, so there's a chance it comes through there.

Hi, In a recent posting some one got the error message (Xt error: bad alloc) I got a similair message when I did "XtSetArg(argtoset, value, argcnt++);". Since XtSetArg is a macro argcnt got incremented twice causing the problem. When I replaced the offending XtSetArg() with XtSetArg() atgcnt++; . The problem went away. So make sure your code doe not have this programming mistake. Sincerily, Rob Montjoy E-MAIL montjoy@uc.edu
