Out of memory issue related to SC_MODULE's size


Recommended Posts

Hi All,
 
Do you have any comments on the issue below?
 
We have a very big SC_MODULE (auto generated), we split it into 28 cpp files. and the SC_CTOR has about 100K lines.
 
We compile the design on a 32GB Linux server, and get out of memory error:
 
cc1plus.exe: out of memory allocating 33554432 bytes
make: *** [obj/ldpc_decoder_core_1.o] Error 1
 
 
thanks,
Qingwen

Well, your compiler runs out of memory.  As it seems that your host may have enough memory, make sure that the user memory limits (ulimit -v -m) are not getting in your way.

That said, 100k lines in a single function is quite a lot.  We had similar problems with synthesized code at some point in the past and split the results in multiple functions instead.  You might want to split your constructor here by creating a set of "init" functions that are called in sequence and put those functions in separate files as well.

I am curious, if as you say you are running on a 32 GB Linux

server, your executable is named "cc1plus.exe:" ? Are you

sure it is not a Windows machine ? Why the ".exe" ?

Hi Philipp,

 

       Thanks for the suggestions, we will try to split the constructors.

 

thanks
