RE: [nv-l] debug libraries

I was interested in the debug libraries because I am curious to
find out where the problem is. It could be our code or the Netview libraries. If
it turned out to be Netview then there is nothing that can be done to fix
it.
The
core file shows the get response PDU returned to the session callback function
is nothing like expected. There are 3 varbinds instead of 1. The oid and value
in the first varbind are rubbish. The length of the oid in the second
varbind is huge. This is probably why the free PDU call causes a core
dump.

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That level of code (NetView 6.0.3 for Digital UNIX) is no
longer active and it would be archived somewhere.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.

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.
Many thanks Robin
James
