[INUG-Users] Regex error according to nco_p_syntax

[Victor Havard]

malloc() is a memory allocation function.  It seems to indicate an 
inability for the application to allocate sufficient memory to hold some 
object used for the regex.  Is the box memory bound?  Rulesfile syntax 
doesn't change between versions of an operating system so I would have to 
believe it was syntactically correct because of its success on the 
previous OS and assume a problem with nco_p_syntax on the sol10 box 
because of the malloc() errror.

[INUG-Users] Regex error according to nco_p_syntax



The nco_p_syntax checker is bombing out on a Sol 10 machine 
with a regular expression that works perfectly fine on a Sol 8 box:
 
            if (regmatch($OID1, "\3\.6\.1\.3\.96"))
 
The offending rules file is from NCKL 1.2:
 
IETF-MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB.include.snmptrap.rules
 
The var $OID1 is used in many other rules files prior to this one.
Or, it could be that I'm missing something else in the if statement.
 
The actual error is:
 
Error: Rules file 
'/opt/netcool/etc/rules/include-snmptrap/IETF-MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB.include.snmptrap.rules' 
line 95: Failed to compile regular expression: malloc() failed
04/15/08 16:45:26: Error: Error(s) in rules file
