Annotation of OpenXM_contrib2/asir2000/gc/README.alpha, Revision 1.1

1.1     ! noro        1: Should work under OSF/1 and Linux.  Currently no VMS or NT support, though
        !             2: the latter shouldn't be hard.
        !             3:
        !             4: Incremental gc not yet supported under Linux because signal handler
        !             5: for SIGSEGV can't get a hold of fault address.  Dynamic library support
        !             6: is also missing from Linux/alpha, probably for no good reason.
        !             7:
        !             8: Currently there is no thread support in the standard distribution.  There
        !             9: exists a separate port to DEC Unix pthreads.  It should be possible to
        !            10: port the X86 Linux threads support to Alpha without much trouble.
        !            11:
        !            12: If you get asssembler errors, be sure to read the first few lines of the
        !            13: Makefile.
        !            14:
        !            15: From Philippe Queinnec:
        !            16:
        !            17: System: DEC/Alpha OSF1 v3.2, vendor cc
        !            18: Problem: can't link if libgc has been compiled with "cc -std1".
        !            19:          It works if the library has been compiled with either gcc or "cc"
        !            20:          alone. The problem is because the variable "end" is not defined if
        !            21:          compiling in std1 mode (see man ld).
        !            22: Proposed fix: none. Don't use cc -std1 !
