Re: [nv-l] debug libraries

It would highly unlikely that you could obtain a debug library for the level you are at. That's what being out of support means.

That level of code (NetView 6.0.3 for Digital UNIX) is no longer active and it would be archived somewhere. Since Digital UNIX is no longer a supported platform, and has not been fro several years, we no longer even have any Digital Unix boxes around that I am aware of. Speaking for the Level 3 maintenance team, there are no build machines left for it in our possession. And even if you got a debug library, and even if you found a problem in OVSnmpFreePdu, so what? You could not fix it without source code, and that would not be forthcoming without some very unusual, and probably very expensive, exclusive use marketing agreements. Even for us to fix it for you would be very expensive.

In any case, if you want to pursue this, I would discuss it with your IBM marketing rep. In the long run however, I believe that it would be far simpler and cheaper to adopt Linux as a platform at the current version.

Subject	[nv-l] debug libraries

Hi I am using the Netview SNMP API on Digital UNIX and our version of Netview is 6 (.03?). Is there a way to get debug versions of the Netview libraries? The main problem would be our version of Netview is not supported anymore. I am interested in the debug versions because one of our programs core dumped after calling OVsnmpFreePdu. This happens infrequently. I wanted to do some memory leak checks using Third. The call to OVsnmpFreePdu is made having processed a get response PDU. The core dump shows the get response PDU to be a little odd in that the program requested 1 varbind and the response had 3 varbinds.
