I wasn't too impressed with the malloc() supplied in the v1.2 of libc.a, so I wrote my own. While upgrading to v1.3 (using the P-H disks), I wanted to check the new version to see if it is any better, but I don't see the sources for libc anyplace. I've looked at the assembly-code, and can tell that the routine has changed, but I can't tell if its been "improved" or not. Are the sources for libc.a available? If so, I'd appreciate it if someone would contact me so that I can get them. I can't even successfully get an index from the uucp servers, much less request a file. Another thing I noticed is that the file sizes of the compiler passes are not the same as v1.2 either. The difference varies from 2 bytes to 2K. Are they really the same as v1.2 as AST has said many times? Thanks, Mike S. att!cbnewsl!mjs (201) 386-6664 9-5 edt

The full 1.3 library sources should be on disk 5 of the upgrade kit, in the file libsrc.a.Z (compressed archive). >Another thing I noticed is that the file sizes of the compiler passes are not >the same as v1.2 either.

I have not touched the source, but I may conceivably have recompiled it using a newer version of the library. I really don't remember. But I am sure that I have not used a new source for cpp, cem, opt, cg, or asld. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
