Re: [nv-l] debug libraries

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

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Digital UNIX) is no longer active and it would be archived somewhere.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. 


Many thanks
Robin James
