memory management error while installing festival 2.4 - festival

I am trying to install festival 2.4 in fedora 24, I have installed the tool with a few warnings alone, when I try to invoke the festival command using "bin/festival" it gives a memory management error on the usage of free() function. I understand it is related to dynamic memory management, but I do not know how to fix it. Please let me the solutions.

Memory Management Error is shown along with BSOD, and it could be an annoying problem. The easiest method for this problem is to simply restart your system.
if Memory Management error message still persists, you follow the instructions below:
Run Diagnostics to Check Your System for Memory Problems
Run SFC/SCANNOW
Scan your computer for viruses and malicious programs

Cloudpebble Error after Watchface installation

I've created a C-Watchface on Cloudpebble (which works fine). I'm refactoring it to make the code cleaner.
But I'm getting this Error after the Installation:
[FEHLER] ault_handling.c:78: App fault! {1030da8e-9563-4db9-a08f-b8d6d274e8dd} PC: 0x805ea85 LR: ???
Is there a way to get a Human Readable Error Message? Do I have to use the SDK for that?
Debugging on Pebble is not an easy task sometimes.
What you're experiencing is PebbleOS telling you that the crash was your app's fault, and that the OS has been a good little boy.
Usually what this means is that you are referencing a NULL pointer. I'd recommend using APP_LOG throughout parts of your code to check your pointers and make sure you are not destroying anything if you're still using it.
If you are able to break away from the wool sweater of CloudPebble, which keeps you warm but is always a bit itchy, you can use gdb to set breakpoints and do much more thorough debugging.

Cyclone.exe - Unhandled exception

I am not a programmer. I have some software at work that keeps crashing on me. I used the Visual Studio debugger last time it crashed and found out it was unhandled exceptions.
The first unhandled exception is at 0x0048ADF0 in Cyclone.exe and is an Access violation writing to location 0x00000003.
My research leads me to understand that this is the program trying to write to memory that the process doesn't have permission to.
When running the debug in Visual Studio, after the access violation exception there is a long list of Unhandled exceptions similar to this "...at 0x776C016E (ntdll.dll) in Cyclone.exe: 0x00000000: The operation completed successfully." with different addresses.
Is there any way I can fix this without being a programmer? Some sort of modification to the app files or settings, or a tutorial or something.
No, there is no way. It's not different from asking if you can drive a car without knowing anything about driving.
Sounds like you need to report the problem to the person or company who provided it. What you need to do, however, is give them enough information to understand the problem and fix it. This includes:
what version of their program are you running
which computer operating system (e.g. Windows) and which version (e.g. 7)
precisely what steps you have to take to make the error occur
whether you have changed anything recently, e.g. by installing Windows Updates or changing your anti-virus protection
precise details of any error messages you see, ideally by copy/paste or by providing a screenshot of the erro
anything else you think might help them to help you
Be prepared for them to ask you additional questions, or try some tests to help figure out the cause and a way to solve it.
Your research sounds about right but I don't think there is much anyone here can do to help (unless they happen to work on the application).
Your best bet would be to look for a "Help" or an "About" screen and contact the people who wrote it with this information

Vtune report Outside any known module

I am using Intel(R) VTune(TM) Amplifier XE 2013 Update 5 (build 274450) for my linux application hotspot collect, but the report says the "[Outside any known module]" consume most of the time, so i want to get more info about the unknow module.
when i read the release notes of the vtune Amplifier, it says "List of hotspots may contain "Outside any known module" on systems with kernel older than 2.6.20 (200233501)", but my linux kernel is "2.6.32", any idea about this?
Check that your program is not generating code on the fly (i.e. is not JIT-ing). You may also want to switch grouping to "Module / Code Location / Call stack" and see which virtual addresses cannot be mapped by VTune to any known module.
I have been suffering from this issue in the past as well and it is very frustrating if you don't know why it is happening.
2 weeks ago I installed Ubuntu 13.04 and vtune update 14 and I was jumping from joy because I could see (again) what happened inside my code.
After doing some updates on my Ubuntu, vtune started to show your problem
I installed the kernel sources.. no help..
I reinstalled the driver, no help.
I reinstalled intel vtune.. no help.
And then I decided to run under root, and what do you know.. It works; no more 'Outside any known module'. I switched back to my regular user, it stopped working. I switched back to my root, and it works. So perhaps some kinds of access issue.
Maybe you could try this.
Probably you have some kernel hidden addresses by kptr_restrict, you ca review the value of "/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict":
kptr_restrict = 0, kernel addresses are provided without limitations (recommended).
kptr_restict = 1, addresses are provided if the current user has a CAP_SYSLOG capability.
kptr_restrict = 2, the kernel addresses are hidden regardless of privileges the current user has.
You can use this option before running the trace:
sysctl -w kernel.kptr_restrict=0

BDE Installation: there is not enough space on drive c. install to this location anyway

I am trying to install BDE Engine by executing the following command line from my installation program as follows.
ShellExecute(0, nil, 'regsvr32.exe', 'BdeInst.dll', nil, SW_SHOW);
It pops up with a message requesting permission to install BDE Engine at a particular location. When you click okay button, it pops up another a message as follows.
I did verify that I have plenty of free space in my hardrive. When you click on Yes button, it installs the BDE engine successfully.
I don't know why. Plus, there is not much information online about this.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
First of all, the BDE is deprecated, and you should better avoid using it, even with other versions of Delphi.
You have third party components around able to connect directly to DBs without using the BDE. See e.g. DevArt, SQLDirect, DASoft (its FreeDAC is free), and a lot of other components like Zeos or our SynDB Open Source libraries.
You reached the well known "2GB rounding error". The BDE installer suffers from it, but applications using BDE also.
BDE installer is buggy.
It just does not work with newer versions of Windows.
You have other installers around, like interbase and BDE on windows 7 or Bde Installer on these Embarcadero days
BDE used in applications will suffer from the same 2GB limitation, linked to the GetDiskFreeSpace improper use.
There is a work around available on Embarcadero CodeCentral which is worth to be included in your application code.
The BDE is an old piece of software that has now been deprecated for a few years. While people do still have it running, I believe it was originally 16bit software and may never have been changed. I have a feeling the message is coming from some piece of software that can not understand your large hard drive. I don't recall if BDEInst.dll is the BDE installer from Borland, but the message may be coming from that. You also mention an "Installation program is being developed ...".
It should install to XP, and I would get it working there first. Win 7 and 8 introduce more issues. However, if at all possible, reconsider if you want to install BDE at this point in time.
The bdeinst.dll uses the Win32 API function GetDiskFreeSpace, which can report a completely misleading value when executed against a drive that is larger than 2GB - see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/202455 for a developer-based workaround.
The reason I know this is because I've been hit by it before and examined the imports for the bdeinst.dll binary which indicates that it uses GetDiskFreeSpaceA (this is the ascii version of function).
If you have to use the BDE, then you just have to accept that you may see this error when you attempt to install the app

gethostbyname win32 error

I am using the gethostbyname() function in the usual manner...
iaHost.s_addr = inet_addr(lpServerName);
if (iaHost.s_addr == INADDR_NONE)
{
// Wasn't an IP address string, assume it is a name
lpHostEntry = 0;
lpHostEntry = gethostbyname(lpServerName);
}
to access my web site and return information. The variable, "lpServerName", can be any host, e.g., "google.com" or the loop-back, "127.0.0.1".
My system: Windows x64 or x32 (it doesn't matter the same error occurs) running on an AMD Opteron system, XAMPP is on my machine and I use it for debugging purposes, my compiler is Microsoft Visual c++ 2005.
Here's the problem: when I use the loop-back address, the code above works fine. When I try and access a web site exterior to my computer I get the following error: "Windows has triggered a breakpoint in test_gethostbyname.exe. This may be due to a corruption of the heap, and indicates a bug in test_gethostbyname.exe or any of the DLLs it has loaded. The output window may have more diagnostic information". The program, "test_gethostbyname.exe", contains only the parts of the code from a much larger project that apply to accessing the internet. Thus, I don't think the heap is being corrupted by anything I have done. I have tried the "getaddrinfo" command with the same results. I have searched the web for any kind of information on this problem with no joy (other than segmentation faults on unix systems).
Does anyone know of any problem with this command that would cause this error to occur?
Thanks in advance,
Jay
I see you are checking for INADDR_NONE but what about the other fail state INADDR_ANY
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738563(VS.85).aspx
What string are you passing to gethostbyname()? Odds are there is something wrong with the format of lpServerName.
I have found the answer. The problem appears to be the libraries on my XP system. As I mentioned before, I compiled the program on another XP system without problem. I compiled the system on my development system with Windows 7 and Visual c++ 8 express and it worked.
Is lpServerName:
not NULL terminated
NULL
already deleted
My guess would be that it's not NULL terminated.
Perhaps inet_addr will stop even if it doens't see a NULL termination, so that's why it works when you use a normal IP dotted string.
I have played with whether or not the string is null terminated and the error has not gone away. The example I have compiled is from the Microsoft description of gethostname() which I would assume is functionally correct, but I still get the error.
This morning I recompiled the example on another machine that is using the express version of visual c++ and the error does not happen. Thus, I am beginning to suspect that there might be a problem with the libraries libraries on my development machine, so I am going to reinstall the compiler and the platform SDK and see if this corrects the problem.
