problem with exe controller?

[Judith_W_Intel]

I get this error when trying to create a callgraph
for the compiler. If I remove some of the arguments
to mcpcom the error goes away.

vtl activity -c callgraph -app mcpcom,-p,--bool,timing.cpp -moi mcpcom run

The Activity is running.
The Activity failed to stop callgraph collector,
because there are no valid exe controllers associated with the collector.

Unable to run the activity because an appropriate EXE controller could not be created. This is probably either because a specified remote system could not be found or because a specified remote system is not properly configured.

hi,

I admit, the error message is indeed misleading

The real problem seems to be is in a way you pass the parameters.

The correct way is: (vtl -help)
[-app | -app-to-launch [,[,]]]

so in case you have to pass multiple parameters use:

vtl activity Regular -c callgraph -app /bin/ls,"-l -R -F -a" -moi /bin/ls run

(no , separates different parameters)

In you example I guess the correct syntax will be:

vtl activity -c callgraph -app mcpcom,"-p --bool timing.cpp" -moi mcpcom run

Does it help?

Well that helped me get started but now I get
an internal error:

Never mind my last reply. It looks like
the internal error is coming from the compiler.

Hi Judy,

BTW, thanks for posting this one. The way in which vtl was invoked in the initial post should have been interpreted as a syntax error by vtl--however, the input was accepted and resulted in the weird message having to do with EXE Controllers.

This has been fixed, and the fix will be available in the next release of the product.
