[Dpcl-develop] runtime AIS_SHM_SIZE

[Steve C. <sl...@sg...>]

    Hello everyone -

         I'm trying out the new mailing list to see if I'll get
      it right. 
         As part of the Open/SpeedShop Project at SGI, one of our
      government parters (MartinS at LLNL) has pointed out that the
      value of AIS_SHM_SIZE really needs to be computed at runtime to
      be accurate. Martin suggests querying the system via /proc and
      a sysctrl call. I think Martin is dead-on, but I have no feel
      for the code change that might be best. The current non-AIX
      value of 0x01000000 seems small for an ia64 architecture.
         Comments anyone?
