The Troubleshooting section of the Coverity Scan Build Tool C/C++ instructions states:
- WARNING: Linux users on kernel version 4.8.x and newer will need to apply a sysctl parameter to support our binaries. Without this parameter, our binaries will not work on your platform. This is a known issue which we will address with a future release.
# sysctl vsyscall=emulate
The above command fails on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with kernel 4.15.0:
# uname -r 4.15.0-20-generic # # sysctl vsyscall=emulate sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/vsyscall: No such file or directory #
Should I disregard these instructions? Use a different command?
