[Gems-users] Problem with Simics segmentation fault

[Liz Mooney <mooneye@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have been compiling and running Ruby on several different benchmarks just fine until this morning.  I wanted to change the user mode in /ruby/config in the rubyconfig.defaults and when I did this, recompiled Ruby, and tried loading it into Simics I got the following error after I tried typing something (like ls or pushing enter) in the Simics console:

simics> c
Segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) in main thread
The simulation state has been corrupted. Simulation cannot continue.
Please restart Simics.

This seems strange to me because I have been changing cache size, block size, and user mode in the configuration file in the past and it worked just fine. Nothing has changed since last night when I last ran a simulation. 

I am loading Ruby to Simics correctly since I have checked this. Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
Liz
