Hello I am making a program that does a really hard calculation and
it seems to crash after 60 Minutes. I don't really know why it
does, I am guessing it is because I am using a for loop that takes
awhile to run (an estaminet of 120 MInutes every time it loops). so
I was hoping someone will be able to help me fix it.
Here is the error I am getting.
cal(18129,0xa00c9074) malloc: *** mmap(size=16777216) failed (error
code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Trace/BPT trap
Note I have tried doing it on other machines and it still crashes.
Thanks for help and tips,
Mr. Gecko
Hi! It sounds as though you've run out of available memory. Is it
possible that your program is not releasing allocated objects? If
you're using autoreleased objects in the loop, does creating and
destroying an autorelease pool each at run-through (or draining the
pool, if you're using Garbage Collection under Leopard) alleviate
the problem?
Cheers,
Andrew
Erm, an addendum: I should've said "releasing allocated objects or
memory" -- since it appears that part of the problem might be a
malloc() call.
