How to Prepare and Send Your Example

Create a directory named repro and place your problem files in it.

Add the following files to repro:

• index.txt

  Use this file to list and describe the files in repro:

  • Include the target executable. A test program or code fragment is preferable to a large amount production code.
  • Build the executable statically. If possible, use -v.
  • Show the compiler version used.
  • Show the compile/build session (stdin/stdout/stderr).
  • Include sources (not always necessary, but usually helpful).
  • Include any special libraries or input files required.
     
• README.TXT

  Describe the problem. Please be very specific.

• repro.txt

  Tell us how to reproduce the problem.

  • Show `uname -a`.
  • Show your TotalView session (stdin/stdout/stderr).
  • Describe in exact detail your interaction with TotalView. For example, you may edit your TotalView commands into the session output using angle brackets; that is:

    <where I did it: what I did next>

        For example:

    <Process 0: Hello_World (Exited or Never Created): 'g'> .)
  

    
 Use Save Window to File... to capture TotalView windows that document the problem.
  

Package your repro directory as follows:

cd ../repro/../
tar cvf - repro | compress -c > repro.tar.Z

If repro.tar.Z is larger than about 1 MB, use FTP to send it to:

ftp://ftp.etnus.com/incoming/repro.tar.Z-<your email address>

You should also cut and paste `ls -l repro.tar.Z` to the end of your form.

If repro.tar.Z is less than about 1 MB, use uuencode to package your information:

uuencode repro.tar.Z > repro.tar.Z.uu < repro.tar.Z

You should also cut and paste `cat repro.tar.Z.uu` to the end of your form.

Email the form as shown in the header in the next section.
