    D4GL (4js) COFF get segmentation violation

  • Rod Sheppard Rod Sheppard posted a comment on ticket #9

    Iv'e got a work around by making /usr/fgl2c an tmpfs at startup, so something to do with the size of the data staructures or inodes being returned on this particular VM. where tge root fs is /dev/nvme0n1p2 60G 6.5G 54G 11% / I created my o\wn test AWS rhel8 machine (default free image), and it had no issue.

  • Rod Sheppard Rod Sheppard posted a comment on ticket #1

    Thanks Russel thats brilliant. I have tested and I also see the segfault 4GL RUN / C system()l has been fixed. Thee xternal code runs, and thewn the program continues fine. Tesedt test 4gl tst9.42e , and test C code tst10, as well as real 4GL program that first showed the issue. I've been doing a bit of testing over the last month, and sofar have not come across any other issues. Thanks for all the effort to fix this

    Thanks Russel I will see if I can convert and save the 4gl src to its intermediate ESQL/C code to see what it is doing. The code where it is failing is part of a 4GL library, the partriuculay source sends update date to remote systems, and records local session logs I will look at enabling a port forwading from the internet to ssh login on the RHEL 7 box.

    Hi Russel, By using a simple socket test progrom I determined that sockets are working ok with ibc-us, and the database connection issue was due to a database version iussue with the apps, which required the configuration of a relay modules which is now working. Nit sure if ipc connection are working because I think this was also failing du to a database version issue. But whith socket connections working to the DB, I don't need ipc.
