Error In sbrk() Function Usage

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./configure
2. gmake
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
As the configure shows checking for sbrk... no & the config.h file has not 
defined HAVE_SBRK this function should not be compiled. However I get 
if /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.3 On Stratus OpenVOS 17.0.1al. However this doesnt seem to be a 
problem of the operating system as the function is being executed even 
when the function is not defined.

Please provide any additional information below.

Thank you. This patch took care of the error. However I am concerned that 
without 
sbrk & mmap how will the program behave.

This should be fixed in perftools 1.4, just released.

• Changed state: Fixed

[Google Code Exporter]

Oops, you're right.  This should be easy to fix for the next release.

In the meantime, if you want to patch this up so you can continue to test, put
   #ifdef HAVE_SBRK
at the beginning of SbrkSysAllocator::Alloc in system-alloc.cc, and
   #endif
at the end of SbrkSysAllocator::Alloc.

That said, sbrk is posix standard, and I'm surprised OpenVOS wouldn't have it.  
Try
   grep -rw sbrk /usr/include
to see if it shows up anywhere.  Is it not in /usr/include/unistd.h?

• Changed state: Started
• Added labels: Priority-Medium, Type-Defect

[Google Code Exporter]

Oh, never mind, I'm mistaken: it looks like sbrk is intentionally not part of 
the
posix standard.  So that explains why OpenVOS doesn't have it.  In any case, 
the next
release should have this fixed up.

After implementing the suggestion I am facing the following warning:

Sorry, my suggestion wasn't quite right.  Try this instead:
