Hi there...
I'm programming a patch for gdb which gives out a state graph of a program. I
have the following problem:
I store the state graph in the heap memory (using xmalloc). The problem is
that I get an out-of-memory-error while computing the state graph of huge
programs:
utils.c:981: gdb-internal-error: virtual memory exhausted: can't allocate
49220 bytes.
An internal GDB error was detected. This may make further
debugging unreliable. Quit this debugging session? (y or n) y
My question: Is it possible to say gdb to allocate more virtual memory?
cu
Andreas

If you get that error, then you've really run out of memory, as
reported by your operating system; there's not much to be done about
it. How big is this state graph anyway?
