#13 %GTM-E-MEMORY when ZLINKing routine

[John Murray]

I have a test routine containing a ZGOTO command that
refers to another line in the same routine. When I
ZLINK the routine I get the following error:

GTM>zlink "YJM2"
%GTM-E-MEMORY, Central memory exhausted during request
for 1493184054 bytes
%SYSTEM-E-ENO12, Cannot allocate memory

GTM>

The test routine is:

YJM2 ; ZGOTO bug during ZLINK
;
; This works
ZGOTO $ZL:tag
;
; This doesn't. If I comment it out
; the routine will ZLINK
ZGOTO $ZL:tag^YJM2
;
tag ;
Q
==

My guess is, when ZLINK finds the second ZGOTO and
discovers the target routine (YJM2) needs linking, it
goes off to do this, discovers that contains a ZGOTO
with a target (YJM2) that needs linking, etc...

What version are you using? I get somewhat different (but no more useful) results (INVOBJ error):

bug> zlink "foo"
%GTM-E-INVOBJ, Cannot ZLINK object file due to unexpected format

bug> zp ^foo
%GTM-E-INVOBJ, Cannot ZLINK object file due to unexpected format

bug> w $zv
GT.M V4.2-001 Linux x86
bug> h
$ cat foo.m
foo ;
;
zgoto $zl:tag^foo
;
tag ;
q
$

This is a bug in GTM. We need to do further investigation
into the problem and is in our to do list of items. Since
the work around is available ( using a different file name),
this will be taken up at a lower priority. We are sorry for
the inconvenience caused . We will have update on this as
soon as we resolve it.

Thank you very much for reporting the problem.

Thanks,
Prasad.

One additoinal comment to my previous mail after talking to
others in the group. To be more specific on the workaround
using a different file name in the above example, we can use
the tag code in a different file (YJM3) instead the same
file (YJM2).

Please let us know if you need any additioanl information.

Thanks,
Prasad.
