HP gnu source-level debugger 5992-4701 Correct usage, Aborts execution when heap objects, File

has the filename rtcconfig. If user prefers to set this option, it must include the filename.

◦Incorrect usage:

export GDBRTC_CONFIG=./ export GDBRTC_CONFIG=/tmp

◦Correct usage:

export GDBRTC_CONFIG=/tmp/yet_another_config export GDBRTC_CONFIG=/tmp/rtcconfig

•BATCH_RTC enables or disables batch memory leak detection.

•GDB_SERVER is used to override the default path from where the gdb executable is used to provide the information on memory leak. By default, /opt/langtools/ bin/gdb is used to print the output. This can be overridden by setting GDB_SERVER appropriately.

•RTC_MALLOC_CONFIG is used to override the default config and rtcconfig file settings. This variable can be set as follows:

export RTC_MALLOC_CONFIG=config_string1[;config_strings].

◦The config_strings are separated by a semi-colon(;).

◦The following config_strings options exist for RTC_MALLOC_CONFIG:

abort_on_bounds=[01]	Aborts execution when heap objects
	bounds check fail, value is 1, and the
	environment variable RTC_NO_ABORT
	is not set.
abort_on_bad_free=[01]	Aborts execution when free or realloc is
	trying to free a heap object which is not
	valid, value is 1, and environment
	variable RTC_NO_ABORT is not set.
abort_on_nomem=[01]	Aborts execution when out of memory
	if value is 1, and environment variable
	RTC_NO_ABORT is not set.
leak_logfile=stderr[+]filename	The log file for batch mode must be
	specified.
	stderr: error message goes to stderr
	[+]filename: error message goes to
	filename, + means output is appended to
	the file.
