-# How to make a DEBUGGING VERSION of perl for DECs cc compiler

+# * If you want to debug perl or want to send a
# stack trace for inclusion into an bug report, call
# Configure with the additional argument -Doptimize=-g2
# or uncomment this assignment to "optimize":
# If you want both to optimise and debug with the DEC cc
# you must have -g3, e.g. "-O4 -g3", and (re)run Configure.
#
-# Note 1: gcc can always have both -g and optimisation on.
+# * gcc can always have both -g and optimisation on.
#
-# Note 2: debugging optimised code, no matter what compiler
+# * debugging optimised code, no matter what compiler
# one is using, can be surprising and confusing because of
# the optimisation tricks like code motion, code removal,
# loop unrolling, and inlining. The source code and the
# executable code simply do not agree any more while in
# mid-execution, the optimiser only cares about the results.
#
-# Note: Configure will automatically
-# add the often quoted -DDEBUGGING for you)
+# * Configure will automatically add the often quoted
+# -DDEBUGGING for you if the -g is specified.
+#
+# * There is even more optimisation available in the new
+# (GEM) DEC cc: -O5 and -fast. "man cc" will tell more about them.
+# The jury is still out whether either or neither help for Perl
+# and how much. Based on very quick testing, -fast boosts
+# raw data copy by about 5-15% (-fast brings in, among other
+# things, inlined, ahem, fast memcpy()), while on the other
+# hand searching things (index, m//, s///), seems to get slower.
+# Your mileage will vary.
+#
+# * The -std is needed because the following compiled
+# without the -std and linked with -lm
+#
+# #include <math.h>
+# #include <stdio.h>
+# int main(){short x=10,y=sqrt(x);printf("%d\n",y);}
+#
+# will in Digital UNIX 3.* and 4.0b print 0 -- and in Digital
+# UNIX 4.0{,a} dump core: Floating point exception in the printf(),
+# the y has become a signaling NaN.
+#
+# * Compilation warnings like:
+#
+# "Undefined the ANSI standard macro ..."
+#
+# can be ignored, at least while compiling the POSIX extension
+# and especially if using the sfio (the latter is not a standard
+# part of Perl, never mind if it says little to you).
#
+# If using the DEC compiler we must find out the DEC compiler style:
+# the style changed between Digital UNIX (aka DEC OSF/1) 3 and
+# Digital UNIX 4. The old compiler was originally from Ultrix and
+# the MIPS company, the new compiler is originally from the VAX world
+# and it is called GEM. Many of the options we are going to use depend
+# on the compiler style.
