The dbx group is actively working on implementing access checking on x86, but we don't have very much confidence right now that we'll be able to implement anything that operates in less than glacial time.
To make this practical, we need the following RFE implemented in Solaris x86: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6284894 That URL won't tell you anything because someone pulled 100% of the bug into the 'comments' field which is not public. It would be helpful if someone would go through the bug and move the non-proprietary words into the 'description' field so that external users could see it. I'm cc:ing the contributors to the discussion in that bug. --chris Roland Mainz wrote:
Hi! ---- Is there any tool which provides the "dbx -check access" functionality for Solaris/AMD64 ? I am hitting a serious probem with ksh93 right now which is AMD64/64bit-specific and I am unable to track it down right now... my normal route would be to use "dbx -check access" but dbx in Studio 11 just says this: -- snip -- (dbx) check -access dbx: warning: access checking is not available on x86 access checking - OFF -- snip -- It seems "valgrind" is not available on Solaris/AMD64, libumem is useless because ksh93 uses libast's memory allocator (which is quite complex and cannot easily be replaced by something else) and I do not have a Rational Purify license... ;-( Any ideas/suggestions/etc. welcome... ---- Bye, Roland
