I've been playing around with the cache optimizing procedure rearranging program 'cord', and have had lots of problems. I have yet to get it to terminate successfully. Firstly, it doesn't seem to work for me when I link a program with the multi-threaded C library. It just core dumps with a segmentation violation. When I re-linked the same program with the regular library (the program is set up so it can run single-threaded), I get lots of cord warnings about 'procedure(s) not found' naming things in the standard library - several hundred, actually. Then I get a fatal error: 'cord: error: cannot write proc bxform'. This happens at the stage when cord is trying to 'relocate section .text'. This procedure isn't anything special, as far as I can tell. This is all with the Irix 3.3.1 stuff. -David Hinds dhinds@cb-iris.stanford.edu

I had exactly the same experience under 3.3.2, I haven't tried it with
3.3.3 or with the 4.0 alpha
This was a multi-threaded program that used the m_* routines in the
task library.
I abandonded (reluctantly) the attempted use of cord after a frustrating
couple of days.
