I've noticed a fair amount of dicussion about possible bugs in the MIPS c compiler (cc) recently. We have a summer student who has brought up the GNU c compiler (gcc) on our Iris (4D80GT running IRIX 3.2). We had noticed a problem with the void * decleration and the GNU compiler seemed to handle this OK (though the code we were trying to port still had trouble). We have not checked the compatibility of gcc, as of now we've only run a few small programs through it, but those have had no problems (we tried night.c, for example). Do people have interest out there in trying gcc instead of cc? If so I suppose I could post the binary and/or source. Anyone interested let me know. PS. I keep seeing references to the various IRIX 3.2 updates (3.2.1, 3.2.2 for example). All I know is we have 3.2. How can you tell the sub release number? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Adios Amoebas, | "I've tried and I've tried and I'm still mystified, | | Robert Briber | I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied." | | 224/B210 NIST | --Elvis | | Gaithersburg, MD |------------------------------------------------------| | 20899 USA | rbriber@poly1.nist.gov (Internet) | |(301) 975-6775(voice)| rbriber@enh.nist.gov (Internet) | |(301) 975-2128 (fax) | rbriber@nbsenh (Bitnet) | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
