We would like to use the CMA Threads from the DCE-Snapshot 3 for our OODB server development. But the Snapshot only provides the machine-dependent files for VAX, MIPS and Risc/6000, though the code in cma_config.h mentions Sun, too. Has anybody done a port of the OSF-CMA to Sun hardware, and could you give us some hints? Otherwise I must dig out my old 'hacker knowledge' (yes, I learned programming on 6502 kit, very KIM-like), but since the porting docs (3 Pages, haha) are not very detailed, I am not very optimistic. I have some understanding in the SPARC architecture, and read the summary which pardo@cs.washington.edu posted some time ago (X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 9, Issue 238, message 1), but here I need some info about the layout of signal contexts and so on. Hoping for help ( or a guru to come along) Michael -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Michael Joosten | Tel. : (+49) (+) 5251-284 120 | | CADLAB | Fax : (+49) (+) 5251-284 140 | | Bahnhofstr. 32 | E-Mail: joost@cadlab.uucp | | D-4790 Paderborn | joost@cadlab.cadlab.de | | FRG | ...!uunet!unido!cadlab!joost | | | Mass mail to: joost@pbinfo.uni-paderborn.de | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
