The files mentioned in that bug report no longer exist at the given URLs. IIRC I didn't find the bug report compelling... you basically said "the output is a bit different to what I expected", which didn't convince me that Massif was doing the wrong thing -- maybe your program just doesn't behave exactly how you expect. Especially if it's in C++ and uses the STL. > I just tried to run massif on the standard 'bash' on my FC5 install, > and I could see what I strongly belive to be the same bug happening > there as well, so this should not be a hard problem to reproduce. Best thing you can do is to write a small test case that conclusively shows the alleged problem. Nick |
