Re: [Gems-users] SIMICS getting shaky

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Arrvindh,

The error you are seeing when running under simics is consistent with a 
segmentation fault. Ruby will segfault if it is loaded before doing a 
read-configuration--the first thing that Ruby does at load-time is look 
for a "phys_mem0", but it doesn't check to see if the pointer to that 
object is NULL. As soon as it tries to use that pointer, of course, a 
segmentation fault results.
Can you send the list of commands you are using to run simulation?

Regards,
Dan
