Hi,

I'm trying to run purify on Performer applications. I started with a fairly
simple Performer one: the sample code "simple.c" shipped with Performer.
I run it on a single-processor machine in APPCULLDRAW mode. I also translated
calls to amalloc, afree, arealloc to their Unix counterparts
malloc,free,realloc.

However, in my Purify window it looks like it never goes farther than the call
to pfInit. Could the fork performed by pfInit account for this? No matter what
option flags I specify (-follow-child-processes=yes for example) it seems to
loop endlessly on pfInit (cpu usage is about 100% then)... I've written aside a
test program which forks a process and Purify behaved normally on that one.

I have read some posts in the archives from people who had *some* success with
purify/Performer. Could they share their experience?

Amaury.

PS: I'm running Purify 4.0.1/Performer 2.0 under Irix 6.2.
