[OSUNIX-dev] Re: [Open64-devel] [hpcdev-discuss] OpenSolaris open64 port - 1st round patch review

[Rayson Ho]

Jian-Xin:

Is there anything modified in "ld-new"?? How is it different from the
GNU linker??

I assume the object files with IPA information (WHIRL sections?) need
special treatment... but I am hoping that we can workaround the issues
and use the system linker to reduce maintenance effort...


Christopher:

I very quickly went through the diff, most of the changes are #defines
for solaris. Except a few places I need to further investigate I think
most of the code is good!

I have some questions:

- is the diff against the open64 src tarball or from cvs HEAD??

- are you able to get HelloWorld compiled yet??

Rayson

P.S. talking about Google summer of Code, I still need to see what we
want for SGE: http://wiki.gridengine.info/wiki/index.php/GSoCIdeas
