10# If you want both to optimise and debug with the DEC cc

8a019ce7
JH
16# one is using, can be surprising and confusing because of
17# the optimisation tricks like code motion, code removal,
18# loop unrolling, and inlining. The source code and the
19# executable code simply do not agree any more while in
20# mid-execution, the optimiser only cares about the results.
21#
b971f6e4 22# * Configure will automatically add the often quoted
f2c69087

23# -DDEBUGGING for you if the -g is specified.
24#
b971f6e4 25# * There is even more optimisation available in the new
f2c69087
JH
26# (GEM) DEC cc: -O5 and -fast. "man cc" will tell more about them.
27# The jury is still out whether either or neither help for Perl
28# and how much. Based on very quick testing, -fast boosts
29# raw data copy by about 5-15% (-fast brings in, among other
30# things, inlined, ahem, fast memcpy()), while on the other
31# hand searching things (index, m//, s///), seems to get slower.
32# Your mileage will vary.
8e964347 33#
b971f6e4 34# * The -std is needed because the following compiled

41# will in Digital UNIX 3.* and 4.0b print 0 -- and in Digital
42# UNIX 4.0{,a} dump core: Floating point exception in the printf(),
43# the y has become a signaling NaN.
44#
b971f6e4 45# * Compilation warnings like:
46#
47# "Undefined the ANSI standard macro ..."
48#
49# can be ignored, at least while compiling the POSIX extension
50# and especially if using the sfio (the latter is not a standard

54# If using the DEC compiler we must find out the DEC compiler style:
55# the style changed between Digital UNIX (aka DEC OSF/1) 3 and
56# Digital UNIX 4. The old compiler was originally from Ultrix and
57# the MIPS company, the new compiler is originally from the VAX world
58# and it is called GEM. Many of the options we are going to use depend
59# on the compiler style.

171Your process datasize is limited to $maxdsiz MB, which is (sadly) not
172always enough to fully optimize some source code files of Perl,
173at least 256 MB seems to be necessary as of Perl 5.8.0. I'll try to
174use a lower optimization level for those parts. You could either try
175using your shell's ulimit/limit/limits command to raise your datasize
176(assuming the system-wide hard resource limits allow you to go higher),
177or if you can't go higher and if you are a sysadmin, and you *do* want
178the full optimization, you can tune the 'max_per_proc_data_size'
179kernel parameter: see man sysconfigtab, and man sys_attrs_proc.
