Firstly, I wrote a program to see how much memory I could allocate by looping and allocating blocks of memory. When I use large blocks like 1meg, everything seems to work fine but when I use smaller blocks, the program has a sigsev thingy and dies (under DOS and CWSDPMI, but not WIndows). This is not realy a problem as it would be quite unlikly to reach this limit in a normal program. I would be greatful if anyone could tell me what causes this and how to overcome it. My second problem is about gdb. I thought I would find out what was causing the problems described above so I read up the FAQ and was soon debuging my program but when I tried to single step, I got a message that the program had not been started. When I start the program, it runs till the end, or has an error. Could someone tell me hot to start a program so that I can step through it? Thanx in advance Newbs.
