I just put out a new set of my patches for GCC for the MIPS architecture onto foobaro.colorado.edu for anonymous FTP. Dirk Grunwald has provided g++ patches that work with these (at least to some degree of working). Per Bothner has provided GDB patches. Here is my canned response about GCC: As part of my work for the Open Software Foundation, I have been supporting GCC for MIPS based platforms. I have fixed tons of bugs, and added things like full debug support and better code to omit the frame pointer. Dirk Grunwald (grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu) has supplied patches to bring up G++ with this compiler, and Per Bothner (bothner@cs.wisc.edu) provided gdb patches. I maintain a mailing list to get the GCC patches automatically. Send me mail if you want to get on the list. In addition, Dirk has allowed me to put copies of the compiler on his machine (foobar.colorado.edu, IP address 128.138.243.105) if you can get sources via anonymous FTP in the pub/Gnu-For-Pmax directory. Here is a list of available files as of December 15th: -rw-r--r-- 1 0 system 1721295 Nov 11 02:59 g++-osf-1.9.2.11.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 0 system 8944 Nov 11 02:59 gcc-1.8.1.5-Iris3.3.shar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp system 510215 Dec 15 10:34 gcc-fsf-1.37.1-osf-1.9.2.14.patch.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 0 system 39757 Nov 11 02:59 gcc-osf-1.9.2.12-osf-1.9.2.13.patch.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp system 27219 Dec 15 10:34 gcc-osf-1.9.2.13-osf-1.9.2.14.patch.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp system 1290307 Dec 15 10:49 gcc-osf-1.9.2.14.changed-files.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp system 2788255 Dec 15 10:42 gcc-osf-1.9.2.14.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 0 system 59587 Nov 11 02:59 gdb-3.5-mips.patch.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp system 682738 Dec 31 1990 osfrose-tools.new.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp system 3654053 Dec 13 13:36 osfrose-tools.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 0 system 553 Nov 11 02:59 split.c The currently known bugs are (12/15/1990): 1) malloc.c doesn't work properly in libg++, specify the following in the Makefile: XTRAFLAGS = -DNO_LIBGXX_MALLOC 2) You must configure g++ with the following in Makefile: COFFFLAGS = -DUSE_COLLECT -DEXTENDED_COFF and the all target should be: all: g++ cc1plus collect # crt0+.o crt1+.o 3) G++'s Makefile doesn't run in subdirectories yet. 4) Ignore the messages (best as I can tell) about duplicate functions lmask__Fi, rmask__Fi, BSnew__Fi in libg++ -- these are inlines that aren't getting inlined. 5) The tFix and wrapper libg++ tests are known not to work. I also had problems with tRandom. 6) Debugging isn't completely supported for G++ (it is for GCC). 7) Passing structures that are unaligned (ie, contain only shorts and/or chars) will not generate the correct code. George Hartzell (hartzell@boulder.Colorado.EDU) and Peter Ham (ham@cs.stanford.edu) were looking into better G++ debug support. -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
