When running the testsuite on gcc20 in the compiler farm I always see FAILs like FAIL: g++.dg/asan/symbolize-callback-1.C -O2 output pattern test, is ==17697== ERROR: Failed to allocate 0x20000001000 (2199023259648) bytes at address 0x0ffffffff000 (12) ==17697== ReserveShadowMemoryRange failed while trying to map 0x20000001000 bytes. Perhaps you're using ulimit -v , should match MySymbolizer FAIL: g++.dg/asan/symbolize-callback-1.C -O2 -flto -flto-partition=none output pattern test, is ==18220== ERROR: Failed to allocate 0x20000001000 (2199023259648) bytes at address 0x0ffffffff000 (12) ==18220== ReserveShadowMemoryRange failed while trying to map 0x20000001000 bytes. Perhaps you're using ulimit -v , should match MySymbolizer FAIL: g++.dg/asan/symbolize-callback-1.C -O2 -flto output pattern test, is ==18714== ERROR: Failed to allocate 0x20000001000 (2199023259648) bytes at address 0x0ffffffff000 (12) ==18714== ReserveShadowMemoryRange failed while trying to map 0x20000001000 bytes. Perhaps you're using ulimit -v , should match MySymbolizer Is this due to some setting of the box (ulimit -v is unlimited) or am I doing something wrong or missing some new prerequisite?
