Debugging:
|
|
Packit |
fd8b60 |
|
|
Packit |
fd8b60 |
If you're running a memory checker (e.g. Purify) on DB, make sure that
|
|
Packit |
fd8b60 |
you recompile it with "-DPURIFY" in the CFLAGS, first. By default,
|
|
Packit |
fd8b60 |
allocated pages are not initialized by the DB code, and they will show
|
|
Packit |
fd8b60 |
up as reads of uninitialized memory in the buffer write routines.
