RT safemode (software error)

[JChec]

Hi,

I've developed quite a large bit of software. One of the software modules runs on a RT Gateway. I usually let the code run for a few days to test it. Although twice now it it has crashed after about a day and in MAX I see the RT device is in Safe mode (software error). If I view the error log under Labview sessions I have this in both instances...

05/10/11 08:47:24.251 AM
source/MemoryManager.cpp(146) : DWarnInternal: Memory error 2 in DSSetHSzClr

05/10/11 08:47:24.253 AM
source/exec/CleanupProc.cpp(269) : DWarn: can't realloc cleanup tbl

I can only guess that somewhere I have a memory leak or some common memory problem, but I have struggled to find it. I also have not seen this error before. I'm hoping someone has more insight into this particular error.

Thanks in advance

You're right that this error means that you've ran out of memory.  If you look at the following link it says that Error 2 means Memory Full.

As to how to track down a memory leak, if you run the VI in LabVIEW, you can take a look at the performance profile to see if there truly is a leak.  To do this you can go to Tools >> Profile >> Performance and Memory....  Keep an eye on those numbers and see if they grow over time.  If they do, you may have to take a look at your code in small chunks and see which chunk still has a memory leak.
