I -think- setting OMPI_MCA_memory_ptmalloc2_disable to 1 will turn off OMPI's memory wrappers without having to rebuild. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong :-).

For example (bash-like shell):

export OMPI_MCA_memory_ptmalloc2_disable=1

Hope that helps,

I do not have system administrator authorization.
I am afraid that I cannot rebuild OpenMPI --without-memory-manager.

Are there other ways to get around it ?

For example, use other things to replace "ptmalloc" ?

Any help is really appreciated.

thanks

Hi Jack,
I may need to see the whole code to decide but my quick look suggest that ptmalloc is causing a problem with STL-vector allocation. ptmalloc is the openMPI internal malloc library. Could you try to build openMPI without memory management (using --without- memory-manager) and let us know the outcome. ptmalloc is not needed if you are not using an RDMA interconnect.

  With best regards,
-Belaid.

Hi,

Because the code is very long, I just show the calling relationship of functions.

main()
{
    scheduler();

}
scheduler()
{
     ImportIndices();
}

ImportIndices()
{
        Index IdxNode ;
        IdxNode = ReadFile("fileName");
}

Index ReadFile(const char* fileinput)
{
        Index TempIndex;
        .........

}

vector<int> Index::GetPosition() const { return Position; }
vector<int> Index::GetColumn() const { return Column; }
vector<int> Index::GetYear() const { return Year; }
vector<string> Index::GetName() const { return Name; }
int Index::GetPosition(const int idx) const { return Position[idx]; }
int Index::GetColumn(const int idx) const { return Column[idx]; }
int Index::GetYear(const int idx) const { return Year[idx]; }
string Index::GetName(const int idx) const { return Name[idx]; }
int Index::GetSize() const { return Position.size(); }

The sequential code works well, and there is no  scheduler().

Hi Jack,
1- Where is your main function to see how you called your class?
2- I do not see the implementation of GetPosition, GetName, etc.?

With best regards,
-Belaid.

Subject: [OMPI users] OMPI seg fault by a class with weird address.

Hi,

I got a run-time error of a Open MPI C++ program.

The following output is from gdb:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00002aaaab3b0b81 in opal_memory_ptmalloc2_int_malloc ()
   from /opt/openmpi-1.3.4-gnu/lib/libopen-pal.so.0

At the point

Breakpoint 9, Index::Index (this=0x7fffffffcb80) at src/index.cpp:20
20              Name(0) {}

The Index has been called before this point and no problem:
-------------------------------------------------------
Breakpoint 9, Index::Index (this=0x117d800) at src/index.cpp:20
20              Name(0) {}
(gdb) c
Continuing.

Breakpoint 9, Index::Index (this=0x117d860) at src/index.cpp:20
20              Name(0) {}
(gdb) c
Continuing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that the 0x7fffffffcb80 address is a problem.

But, I donot know the reason and how to remove the bug.

Any help is really appreciated.

thanks
