http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=920134 Bug ID: 920134 Summary: windows:mingw:win{32,64}/mingw{32,64}-binutils: windmc memory bug Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software Assignee: fstrba@suse.com Reporter: gitne@gmx.de QA Contact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com CC: fridrich.strba@bluewin.ch, gitne@gmx.de, hib@hiberis.nl, mkbosmans@gmail.com, tlillqvist@suse.com Found By: Community User Blocker: No Created attachment 624972 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=624972&action=edit Sample source message file for windmc without a trailing line feed (U+000A) character If the input file does not end with a line feed character (U+000A) the windmc tool eats up all the memory and then terminates with an out of memory error. To reproduce, try the atteched sample.mc file. Append a line feed character at the end of the file and windmc works (mostly) as intended. Warning: Be careful when reproducing on 64 bit systems with lots of RAM and/or swap space. This operation may cause the system to seemingly block for an extended amount of time. It is probably best to use the mingw32 version of windmc or to specifically limit the available amount of memory to the process to a reasounable amount. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
