Segmentation fault in nsgetcinfo in aix 64-bit c code

sumesh0710 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-27-2009

Hello,

I am running on a AIX5.2 server with Oracle 10g and 9i. My code compiles and works fine in 32-bit mode. The

same code compiles in 64-bit and runs good. The program catches CNTRL-C signal to terminate. Only on 64-bit code

when i hit CNTRL-C, the program exits with segmentation fault on dbx debugger. The whole program runs in a while

loop infinitely untill a CNTRL-C is hitted. The program takes sql from oracle and sends to queue. It shows error if

bulk of SQLs are processed and after i hit CNTRL-C. The error is

Segmentation fault in nsgetcinfo at 0x900000002ccfd18 ($t1)
0x900000002ccfd18 (nsgetcinfo+0x38) e8dd02b0 ld r6,0x2b0(r29)

The error is same when i hit CNTRL-C when am at any point in the while loop. So i am not able to trace the issue.

Please help. Lots of malloc and realloc is used. Anything to change while porting from 32-bit to 64-bit?
Malloc format used is

Code:

char *str1 = NULL;
int intStartIndex = 10; /*returns from other function*/
str1 = (char*)malloc((intStartIndex+1) * sizeof(char));
strcpy(str1,"");
strcpy(str1,str2); /*str2 is a character pointer with length 10*/

Please help. I am fed up with this problem for last one week!!
