Hi Guys !!!!!!
I m working on MPC8XX . i wrote a simple program, of allocating memory,memset to 0 , free the memory.

memset to any other ASCII character works fine.but to 0 fails

when i allocate to 100, 1000 bytes i don't have any issue. when i do for 10,000 bytes i receive a segfault. I m strugling for a long time . is there any problem of memset with my toolchain . need any more data i can provide . This is my first thread and new to linux. so plea try to help me.

Perhaps you could show us some code? (Enclose any code in [code] and [/code].)

This is the main part of the code where i m allocating and deallocating :

In this piece of code :
l_iCount is the no of times i want to allocate and deallocate
l_iSize is the chunk of bytes
both of them are command line arguments .


/* Allocating and Deallocating l_iSize bytes l_iCount times */
for(l_iIndex = 0; l_iIndex < l_iCount ; l_iIndex++)
{
l_pcTemp = (char *)malloc(l_iSize);
if(NULL == l_pcTemp)
{
printf("Memory allocation failed \n");
exit(1);
}
memset(l_pcTemp,0,l_iSize);
free(l_pcTemp);
}


memset to any ASCII works fine when i run the binary of the cross compiled one on the board.


thanks for the reply . waiting for the same ...
