Using UDK 8 with freestore (fs) and STL

[Alon Blayer-Gat]

Has anyone tried using freestore (fs) on UnixWare?

It's a tool which helps find memory leaks. It's part of UDK

One should first instrument the code (at compilation phase) with the
compiler flag "-f"

At this phase, only test/toy source file pass.

Our own source gives the following:

CC -f: Sorry, not implemented: line 18 /usr/include/CC/memory: In "operator
new(args)", there are placement new arguments, or size-expr contains a
comma.
make: *** [genie_connection.o] Error 1

Each time I use an STL container I get this error.
/usr/include/CC/memory is a STL source file.
btw, even when trying only to create a preprocessed file "-E", it gives the
same error as above.
Later on one should link with "-lfs" (which means, it's not a symbol
collision issue)

References (on UnixWare):
man -s C++ fs

fs will work for a lot of C++ sources, but once you get into
the STL headers, it tends to fall down.

If you are on UnixWare 7.1.3, try using the new "memtool" memory
checking tool. This is more general and robust than "fs", and
will flag various kinds of memory errors. See

for the full details.
