Memory corruption freezing Cadence Virtuoso

Wonyoung

Hello,

I am trying to edit my layout using Virtuoso Layout Suite L. Whenever I open the properties of a transistor, change the length of the transistor and click OK, Virtuoso freezes and the following message appears in my terminal where I started Cadence.

*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x16e0bbd0 ***

It happens ONLY when I change the length of the transistor in layout. It does not happen in schematic or when I change the transistor width in layout. I was wondering if there is anyone who experienced this kind of error. Thank you very much.

  • Wonyoung,

    Which subversion are you using? Type getVersion(t) in the CIW and report what it says. IC61 has been available for 5 years or so now, and (assuming you're using IC61) there's quite a chance that the problem has been fixed. If you're using the latest 6.1.5.500.7 and still see this problem, you should report it to Customer Support.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
