NAME
rtc_patch_area - patch area utility for Runtime Checking
SYNOPSIS
rtc_patch_area [ -so sharedlibname ] [ -o objectname ] [
-size size ] [ -cc compiler ]
DESCRIPTION
rtc_patch_area is used with the Runtime Checking (RTC)
feature of dbx(1). It is a shell script which creates
object files or shared library files that can be linked into
your program to add patch area space for programs with large
text, data, or bss images.
The object file or shared library created contains one RTC
patch area of the specified size or the default size of
8,000,000. The name of the resulting object file or shared
library is written to the standard output. One of the -o or
-so options must be used.
OPTIONS
-so sharedlibname
Specify the name of the shared library to be created,
which is written to the standard output.
-o objectname
Specify the name of the object file to be created,
which is then written to the standard output. If the -
so option was used and -o was not used the default is a
name in /tmp based on the LOGNAME environment variable.
-size size
Create a patch area of size bytes with the default and
reasonable maximum being 8000000.
-cc compiler
Use compiler instead of cc or acc to build the object
file.
EXAMPLES
Generate a standard 8Mb patch area object file:
rtc_patch_area -o patch.o
Generate an object file containing a 100,000 byte patch:
rtc_patch_area -size 100000 -o patch.o
Generate a 1Mb patch area shared library:
rtc_patch_area -so rtc1M.so -size 1000000
