Hello All, I'm extremely thankful to Frank and his team for coming up with an improved version of libsmi, in which most of the memory leaks have been removed. However, while compiling the latest release of smilib (0.2.17) (which I obtained from ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/libsmi/ ) on Win32 platform, I noticed the following things :
1) data.c contains #include <sys/wait.h> , which is not present in VC++6.0.The same file (line 3538-3560, caching module) contains calls like fork(), execv() , which are causing trouble during compilation on Win32. 2) parse-smi.tab.c and parse-sming.tab.c not present. 3) dump-stools.c not present. 4) References to initScli() from sumidump.c and .h files could not be resolved while linking. Unknown identifier _initScli .
Changes done in order to compile the library :
a) I resolved the first problem just by commenting the #include sys/wait.h and the code from line 3538 to 3560 in data.c b) Copied parse-smi.c to parse-smi.tab.c and parse-sming.c to parse-sming.tab.c. This worked. c) dump-stools.c from earlier version was used. d) References to initScli() were removed from smidump.c and smidump.h.
After taking these measures, I could compile the smi.lib. I used this library in place of the earlier smi.lib (version 0.2.16), for my applications. I found that the memory leaks have reduced greatly. But at the same time, the library has become a bit unstable in the sense that it now crashes for certain mib files( e.g : for a combination of following modules, I got an unhandled exception in smiFreeData() : RFC1213-MIB, Modem-MIB, SNMPv2-MIB) and also for a large number of input mib files (for which version 0.2.16 worked fine) Has anybody worked with this library on Win32 and any remedy ?
