I have had the same experience several times on both a HP425 and HP730.
Each time the problem is corrected by turning off the optimization.
Providing additional disk space makes no difference.

I would hazard a guess that the optimizer is stuck in a perpetual cycle
while tree-walking (a DAG is not a tree is not a DAG).

Subject: Need doc on debug info in executable
Organization: Virtual Technologies Inc.
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL5
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 92 14:56:47 GMT

I'm working on a library that produces stack tracebacks, and would like
to print the source file name and line number of each call, along with
the function names.

Where can I find documentation on the format of the debugging
information (i.e., the "$DEBUG$" space) in an executable?

Currently, this is for the 9000/800 series, but I will probably want
it eventually for the 300 series too.  From /usr/include/debug.h, it
looks like the actual data for the 300 might be the same as the 800.
(The debug header for the 300 has sections corresponding to the
subspaces of "$DEBUG$" on the 800.)


Thanks.

Sorry.  Ignore my previous posting.  The -L option won't help you.
The cc(1) driver should invoke ld(1) in such a way that libc.sl (or
libc.a) is scanned last when looking for a defining instance of a
symbol).  You should not have to do anything to get the behavior you
want.  Try invoking ld(1) directly, or try giving the "-Wl,-a,archive"
option to cc(1) which will force ld(1) to use archive libraries
instead.

HP gets a lot of grief from the behavior of their c optimizer.  I'm sure
that some of it is valid.  But a lot of the posts basicly say something
like:
	I've got a program that works without the optimizer and fails
	when I optimize it.  Therefore HP's optimizer is broken.

Here's a real live counter-example to that argument.  I wrote a replacement
to w and it worked without the optimizer and failed when I optimized it.
I reduced the program to a tiny example that also failed with the optimizer.
The complete program is below my signature, but here is the important part:
	struct utmp entry;
	while(fread(entry, sizeof entry, 1, u)) {
		bogus = entry.ut_time;
With the optimizer, bogus always had the same value.  Without the optimizer
various correct values are printed.  The problem is the fread.  It should be:
	while(fread(&entry, sizeof entry, 1, u)) {
	            ^
And the optimizer works fine on the corrected program.  Actually it's amazing
that the program works at all the first way.  All of this is on an 847, those
of you on other platforms may get different results with the buggy program.
(Indeed, Steinar Haug found the bug for me as he struggled to get my program
working on a 425!)

But my point is that the existence of a program like mine that fails when
optimized does not necessarily prove that the optimizer is broken.  It may
be that the program is broken.

Back in the "old days" (HP-UX 3.1/6.0), it used to be that some things
which didn't run correctly when put in /etc/rc would work just fine
when put in /etc/inittab (with a "bootwait" entry).  Apparently some
things weren't quite in place at /etc/rc-time, but were by the time 
the bootwait entries got processed.

Maybe this is what is happening in your case.

You could write a small program that simply logs the console output to
a file using:

        fd = open( "console_log", "w" );
        ioctl( fd, TIOCCCONS );

This may not be completely correct, but it gives you the general idea.
TIOCCONS is located in /usr/include/sys/termio.h...

Hi there,
If you have reflections on the MAC , what is kermit for?? Reflections has a
file transfer capability of its own - read the soft keys(on the MAC??) - there
is a key for upload the 3000 tfer program if it isn't there, then you can do
the transfer. otherwise you need kermit on the 3000 already. The only ones of
these I have seen are passive ie the requests for send/get data have to come
from the other end than the 3000 - all you can tell the 3000 end is default

Series 300/400 is out; they have a Motorola MC680x0 processor, not at all
similar to PA-RISC.

Series 8x7 should work, other things being equal.  For other Series 800,
it can be done if you're careful.  You'll need to use the +DA1.0 compile
option to exclude new PA-RISC 1.1 instructions.  Then, if you link against
shared libraries or libraries you've built for PA 1.0, you should be OK.
If you link against archive libraries, be sure that they're PA 1.0.  Use
the file command for this; it will say either s800 or PA-RISC1.1 (based on
my sample-of-two test).

This should take care of most cases, but I'm not giving out any guarantees.

Also, Im finding that the linker is issuing the error


ld: R_DATA_ONE_SYMBOL fixup in file ds_common.o for code unsat symbol "stupid_test" - use P' fixup

where stupid_test is the first function in the first .o file that I pass
to the linker with a -b option (trying to build a shared-lib).

Has anyone seen the R_DATA_ONE_SYMBOL before, or know what at P' fixup
is?  It looks like a nice loader diagnostic.

Apologies if this isn't the right news group...  there are no NCS/NIDL
or OSF news groups of which I am aware.

I'm writing a dictionary server in NIDL for NCS, and I'm pulling my
hair out over seeming compiler anomolies...

I've declared a data type:

	typedef	unsigned long		index_t;

	typedef struct {
		String[20]		word;
		int			last;
		index_t [last_is(last)]	index[];
	} biblio_t;

the idea being that the data type describes a word and all the
associated references as inverted keys...

Then, I declare a function:

	[idempotent] biblio_t getref(const char *);

that searches for this word in the data base, then returns a
descriptor off all matching references (there are 160,000+ in all).

So, the problems I am experiencing are:

	(a) since I am returning an open-ended array as the return
		value (and not an [out] parameter!) it isn't clear
		who does the release of this malloc'd memory
	(b) the preprocessor (nidl) seems to be generating bogus
		stub code where the function handle invocation
		is not properly declared and/or cooerced. (this is
		the more serious bug):

/* server call */
getsgl_= (*manager_epv->getsgl)(index_);
bound=0;

causes "error 1527: Incompatible types in cast.".  I am using 8.07
with the ANSI mode on the compiler.

I must say that I think the semantics of [last_is(x)] are entirely
broken for C, which has 0-based arrays and not 1-based arrays like
Pascal.  If it had been [size_is(x)] instead, this would work
independent of the array index-basing.

I guess this bug is a bit particular, so please respond to me
privately...

Thanks,

From looking around in /usr/include/sys I would say that (at least on 
the 700's) that HP is using some variation of the BSD filesystem.  This
means that the rotation speed is used to allocate blocks in such a way
as to minimize the rotational delay.  If you get the speed wrong, all
that happens is you don't get peak performance out of it.
