Is there any memory profiling and leak detection tool available which works for both PPC and X86?? Thanks. Ravi. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Here's what I know about. 1. There's a utility built into glibc which may be of some help: http://www.gnu.org/manual/glibc-2.2.5/html_node/Allocation-Debugging.html#Allocation%20Debugging but it's a bit minimal. 2. x86 only - valgrind, of course. God's gift to x86 programmers. Shame it's not been ported to ppc. 3. libmudflap. This is very promising; see http://people.redhat.com/dnovillo/Papers/nordu2003-slides.pdf http://www.linux.org.uk/~ajh/gcc/gccsummit-2003-proceedings.pdf However, it's part of the SSA branch of gcc-3.4, so you'll need to use something like http://kegel.com/crosstool to build it. I am hoping to try this out on ppc sometime, but haven't yet. FWIW, it's provided with Red Hat's taroon beta, so it must be getting close to usable. If you're debugging c++, you should also read http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/debug.html - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.

bgcc - bounds checking gcc - its a patch to gcc
the output will look something like this but can be tuned with compile time options:

Hey! I didn't know that was still alive! Thanks for the tip! There's even a version for gcc-3.3.1 at http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/Haj.Ten.Brugge/ - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.

Hi, all I'm using "top" tool to display top CPU processes and system running information in my Embedded Linux based on PowerPC. But, when I run "top" command in prompt #, it's coming on: # set PS2=> PS1=# IFS= USER=root SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin HOME=/ TERM=ansi # # top top: Unknown terminal "ansi" in $TERM # I changed to : # export TERM=VT100 # set PS2=> PS1=# IFS= USER=root SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin HOME=/ TERM=VT100 # top top: Unknown terminal "VT100" in $TERM # Another question: How to use "top" with option to save cpu information to a log file?

Do you have a /etc/TERMCAP ? On vrijdag, sep 5, 2003, at 10:26 Europe/Amsterdam, John Zhou wrote:

Yes. I have a /etc/TERMCAP. But it's still failed. need other changes ?

I bet that top is linked with ncurses instead of termcap. As such look at /usr/share/terminfo on the target and make sure the appropriate directories and terminal emulations are there. --Mark Dan Kegel wrote:
