Infinite loop on _Heap_Allocate

[LOPEZ CUEVA Patricia]

Hello all !

I've just installed rtems-4.8 on a Redhat 7 64 bits machine. I've installed the release version of rtems 4.8 and the following versions of the toolset:

-          gcc 4.2.1 with newlib 1.15.0

-          binutils 2.18

-          gdb 6.8

The compilation and installation of the toolset and rtems run without problem except for the documentation part which I disabled.

Then I installed the rtems-4.8 examples and tried to run hello_world_c on qemu leon3 with the command "qemu-system-sparc -nographic -M leon3_generic -cpu LEON3 -kernel hello.exe -s -S".

Neither error nor warning was present in the compilation or the execution process (nor the hello world message) and when I stop the execution it is always on the _Heap_Allocate function of cpukit/score/src/heapallocate.c file. Here is the backtrace:

(gdb) c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

(gdb) p *the_heap
$17 = {free_list = {prev_size = 0, size = 0, next = 0xfffc8040, prev = 0xfffc8040}, page_size = 8, min_block_size = 16, begin = 0xfffc8040, end = 0xfffd5e50, start = 0xfffc8040, final = 0xfffd5e48, stats = {instance = 0,
    size = 56848, free_size = 56840, min_free_size = 56840, free_blocks = 1, max_free_blocks = 1, used_blocks = 0, max_search = 0, allocs = 0, searches = 0, frees = 0, resizes = 0}}

It seems to be blocked on an infinite loop. I presume there has been a problem with the installation of rtems that I have not seen since this is a well proven version and it is the most basic example.

Would you have an idea of what the problem might be?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Patricia Lopez Cueva
