Allocating Patch Space for Compiled Expressions

TotalView must either allocate or find space in your program to hold the code that it generates for compiled expressions. Since this patch space is part of your program’s address space, the location, size, and allocation scheme that TotalView uses might conflict with your program. As a result, you may need to change how TotalView allocates this space.

You can choose one of the following patch space allocation schemes:

Dynamic patch space allocation: Tells TotalView to dynamically find the space for your expression’s code.

Static patch space allocation: Tells TotalView to use a statically allocated area of memory.
