Re: generic memory tracing functions on OMVS

[PPrymmer]

The previously mentioned MAXASSIZE parameter and the ulimit -a
shell command can help.  See also the man page for dbx and build
perl with -DDEBUGGING - if you dare.  Note that adding the -g flag
to c89 can create really large binaries.

For running a perl program under the perl debugger use:

    perl -d myprogramname

See the perldebug.pod page for more information.

You might glean useful info from the /usr/include/limits.h header file too.

hey,

A related question -

Are there any generic memory debugging tools on OMVS - ones that show heap
allocations and stack allocations? And is there a simple code snippet that
can
simulate an 'out of memory' error to find the limits of the OS?

Thanks much,

Ed
