posix_memalign: Cannot allocate memory

[ksved]

Hello,

I run following commands on my ubuntu16.04 LTS (Oracle VM Virtualbox):
tools/make_deps.sh
build/gyp/gyp --depth=. scal.gyp
V=1 BUILDTYPE=Debug make
V=1 BUILDTYPE=Release make
V=1 BUILDTYPE=Release make prodcon-kstack
cd out/Release
sudo ./prodcon-kstack -producers=2 -consumers=2 -operations=100 -c=250 -warn_on_overflow=true

And I get following error:

posix_memalign: Cannot allocate memory

Aborted (core dumped)

@mlippautz any idea what's going on?

I would assume that the VirtualBox image doesn't have enough physical memory assigned to it. You could try increasing that.

Other than that you could check with ulimit -a whether virtual memory limit is indeed unlimited.
