[cfe-dev] Question about Clang/LLVM addresssanitizer

[ZhaoKang via cfe-dev]

Hello James,

 

Yes, the failed VM's 'cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory' is exactly 2, but the correct VM's is also 2. And I dump the memory and disk below:

 

Failed one:

fangqing@[xhdengvm155043 kcc_case]$ cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

2

 

fangqing@[xhdengvm155043 kcc_case]$ top

                      6.2T  4.7T  1.5T  76% /home/Fangqing

 

Correct one:

fangqing@[xhdvdieodvm102 local]$ cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

2

So why?

Thanks a lot!
