OutOfMemoryError

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My problem is:

    Every run of smali just shows OutOfMemoryError error, instead of
    showing the help message.

Here is how I run:

khchoi@khchoi-desktop:~/Work/Dalvik/smali$ java -Xms2048000000 -cp 
./commons-cli-1.2.jar:./dexlib/target/dexlib-1.3.1-dev.jar:./util/target/util-1.

----
Here is a description of my environment.

   - Smali : 1.3.1-dev
     (I built a version of the smali source I downloaded
      from the source repository by git yesterday.)
   - Apache Maven 2.2.1
   - Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS
   - java/javac : 1.6.0_30

I used the following packages:
   - commons-cli-1.2.jar
   - antlrworks-1.4.3.jar

Could you help me to know what is my problem? Please let me know if you need 
further information by sending an email to lazyswamp@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance!

This might not be a problem of smail. I tried to run it on Mac, and succeeded. 
The different things I now have:
  - antlr-runtime-3.2
  - maven 3.0.3

The command I gave is

  $ java -cp $COMMONS_CLI/commons-cli-1.2.jar:./dexlib/target/dexlib-1.3.1-dev.jar:./util/target/util-1.3.1-dev.jar:./smali/target/smali-1.3.1-dev.jar:$ANTLR_3_2/org/antlr/antlr-runtime/3.2/antlr-runtime-3.2.jar org.jf.smali.main

The OS is
  Mac OS X 10.7.1

Do you see any big difference between the two commands I have tried, except the 
operating systems? 

Thanks in advance.

I suspect you need to use the -Xmx parameter to set the maximum heap size. I 
don't think the -Xms parameter will use a heap size that is greater than the 
maximum.

I'll keep the issue open for now. Let me know if using -Xmx works for you so I 
can close the issue :)

Thanks for your feedback. As you guided, I changed -Xms into -Xmx. But the 
problem still arose. I tried the maximum heap size upto 2 Giga bytes, but in 
vain. In fact, I don't think the behavior is normal because the program is not 
thought to use so much memory to print a help message. I'll keep looking at 
this issue. 

Thanks again.

This looks like what I see when I run from within an emacs shell buffer. 
Outside emacs things work fine.

Thanks bdc! I was able to reproduce using emacs shell.

It turned out to be a problem with terminals that don't report their width. The 
help formatter was trying to format the usage information with 0 width, and was 
apparently getting into an infinite loop and using up all the memory.

Thanks all!

I got the problem in Ubuntu where I used Emacs, while I didn't get any problem
in Mac where I did not used Emacs.

But I try the comment8 solution, but it has the same problem.
