1# hints/dec_osf.sh

3# * If you want to debug perl or want to send a
4# stack trace for inclusion into an bug report, call
5# Configure with the additional argument -Doptimize=-g2
6# or uncomment this assignment to "optimize":
7#
8#optimize=-g2
9#
10# If you want both to optimise and debug with the DEC cc
11# you must have -g3, e.g. "-O4 -g3", and (re)run Configure.
12#
13# * gcc can always have both -g and optimisation on.
14#
15# * debugging optimised code, no matter what compiler
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#
22# * Configure will automatically add the often quoted
23# -DDEBUGGING for you if the -g is specified.
24#
25# * There is even more optimisation available in the new
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.
33#
34# * The -std is needed because the following compiled
35# without the -std and linked with -lm
36#
37# #include <math.h>
38# #include <stdio.h>
39# int main(){short x=10,y=sqrt(x);printf("%d\n",y);}
40#
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#
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
51# part of Perl, never mind if it says little to you).
52#
53
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.

268using your shell's ulimit/limit/limits command to raise your datasize
269(assuming the system-wide hard resource limits allow you to go higher),
270or if you can't go higher and if you are a sysadmin, and you *do* want

562# -ieee. Added -fprm d at the same time since it's friendlier for
563# embedding.
564#
565# * Fixed the library search path to match cc, ld, and /sbin/loader.
566#
567# * Default to building -Duseshrplib on newer systems. -Uuseshrplib
568# still overrides.
569#
570# * Fix -pthread additions for useshrplib. ld has no -pthread option.
