I was trying to use the xgprof utility. Its has a piece of code bundled with it named as "big.c" On compiling it i got the error message [root@localhost test]# gcc big.c cc1: out of memory allocating 19208 bytes after a total of 1803980800 bytes so how do i compile it . On running cat big.c | wc -l the output was 2749876 lines
The idea is to compile it with gcc -pg as a profiler testcase (through a plain "make" from the test directory) but that won't make anything better.
Your total is a little short of 2G which is getting to be close to a value where you'd first have to answer the question whether you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit system.
Assuming though it's 64-bit or 32-bit with the normal 3:1 addressspace split, the answer's likely just that your patience is bigger than your amount of RAM + swap.
When I interrupted the thing it had only grown to 400M (on a 32-bit system) and didn't seem terribly keen on growing larger than that but if you just waited a long time there's probably nothing wrong. Or your GCC leaks...
